I think a sub would go well with any suit unless the occasion is ultra formal w ultra wealthy people or people where the sub would be out of place. I second both notions that the sub is jewelry and that a date just or something similar may fit some situations better.

nice thing about a dress Rolex is it wears well casually and shines with dress attire.

G Francis · 26 October 2012, 05:48 AM

Yes as long as its the classic Sub, the LV is a bit harder to get away with.

zion_rasta · 26 October 2012, 05:59 AM

If you are in shape and are a triathlete or a cyclist the I'd say he'll yeah!

If you have not seen the gym in like ever te stick to the date just or day date...

IMO, it wouldn't go with a suit. Datejust or DD would match, but not a sub.

Cronus4 · 26 October 2012, 08:27 AM

Subs go great with suits. I wear mine with a suit all the time and I don't feel like it's out of place or weird.

Oraple · 26 October 2012, 08:44 AM

I don't see why not, sub and suit look great together

endwahl · 26 October 2012, 08:57 AM

I think it comes down to size - Both of the watch and the person wearing the watch. For an average size guy, I don't think a classic Sub would be a problem, especially with a strap. Same goes for the 40 mm Explorer II or GMT. I don't know about the new ones. For a business suit for work, I'd choose a classic Submariner over the new big Datejust for instance. In that case bling outdoes size.

If you want to score, back in my day i just put on the old submariner or sea dweller, put on my nice black suit, get the black Raybans and you will have every chick at your feet my friend.

Sub goes with any attire. Jeans and T-shirt or a suit, that is just one of the attributes of the sub.

Tudor Guy · 26 October 2012, 11:44 AM

I have a few french cuff shirts that I cannot get the sub under. I am working on getting a date or datejust (I am owed one) to wear for such occasions.

With my humble collection (without a sub) the rotation:
Suits/ semi-formal: 16753
Family events/casual: 16710 D serial
Anything else/daily banger: Omega SMP 2531.80 (my 1st "quality" watch)

I'm a fan a of what I have - Iay add to it but those 3 are lifers.

I've been doing it since I sold my AP 15300 with no regrets.

Watchmutt · 26 October 2012, 02:20 PM

Sure why not?

Rock on!

ND10 · 26 October 2012, 07:05 PM

It works for me

capote · 26 October 2012, 07:53 PM

Only if you don't have a proper dress watch IMO

Time Exposure · 26 October 2012, 09:46 PM

C'mon, Sub with a suit? The Sub is a tool watch, a wet suit or jeans and T-shirt watch.

When a Sub is worn with a suit, the wearer becomes the tool instead of the watch.

What a crass and classless comment.

Not the sort of decorum we like to maintain around here.

strafer_kid · 26 October 2012, 10:47 PM

Sub and suit compliment each other really well!

Yikes, thought I was being funny. That backfired...
While I do personally prefer a dressier watch with a suit, I don't really think a Sub is inappropriate (see earlier post). I couldn't resist the double meaning of "tool" but pre-coffee it sounded funnier in my pea-brain than it sounds now.

Please accept my heartfelt apology for what turned out to be an insulting, classless comment to some. I'll turn on the think-button next time, I promise.

It wasn't that bad imho... but use one of these to be on the safe side...

Excellent idea (especially in hindsight), but on my iPhone I'm not sure how?

Sorry, can't help you there - I use one of them old-fangled computer thingies...

I guess you could type 'just kidding' in huge, upper-case text???

TheMaxMilano · 27 October 2012, 12:21 AM

Sure, it's perfect!

You can just insert the emoticon directly in your text. The j/k one is justkiddi with a leading colon :

It would be typed as : justkiddi (without the space).
Some require a closing colon like

is : chuckle : (without the spaces).

Works the same way on TapaTalk
