I've got a wedding this weekend. very casual wedding rehearsal dinner on Friday early evening. Outside casual lunch. But, since I'm in the wedding party, tuxedo at night for the actual wedding. My 'dilemma' --- Sub 1406M or SS black dial Daytona . I was going to go with my JLC Master Calendar, but don't like sweating with a leather band since the lunch will be outside and it looks to be a hot, humid weekend. Thoughts??

Daytona. You're not doing anything that would require the robustness of the Submariner.

I'm with ryanbush... Good enough for 007....

porschejeff · 10 July 2013, 11:51 PM

Daytona +1

cop414 · 10 July 2013, 11:55 PM

Hmmm, tough one. I'll go against the grain here and say Sub, much more subtle peeking out from under the tux, also a bit "James Bond" like!

ryanbush · 10 July 2013, 11:53 PM

Sub... it was good enought for James Bond in a Tux!

Roley · 11 July 2013, 12:00 AM

Etiquette would dictate a black leather strap on your watch with a tuxedo...but I wouldn't hesitate to wear the Daytona.

texex91 · 10 July 2013, 11:56 PM

I would do Daytona. Dress up or down.

Daytona....casual and more dressy with a suit or tux than the sub.

If it was a beach wedding...then you know which one would win that battle

nygo · 11 July 2013, 12:01 AM

thanks for the comments. yea. there is definitely something about a sub peeking out of the cuff. but the shine of the chrono gets me too. ha. i'll say there are worse problems to have

DESH · 11 July 2013, 12:02 AM

daytona

joe100 · 11 July 2013, 12:06 AM

You sure can. It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it.

Of course you can. Many things are contrary to the "etiquette", and we can intentionally ignore the rules, but you have to know thems to be able to break them. Imho when it comes to formal dress code, elegance means pass unnoticed and be coherent to the situation. If the wedding party is "black tie" (i.e. tux), wearing a sport watch is just like WRITING UPPERCASE ON WATCH FORUMS: we could do it, but we don't.

nygo · 11 July 2013, 07:27 AM

very well put! i think you just solidified my choice. JLC it is.

i had completely thought I'd be wearing the sub or daytona.

(did i mention how much i love this forum?)

I agree that elegance means pass unnoticed and coherence to the situation. With this in mind I would not hesitate to wear my SD with a tuxedo, and surely I would pass unnoticed. IMHO more important than wearing a certain watch with a tux, is the tux itself and how it fits. Some of the tuxedoes worn today (shiny, dark blue, purple, etc), the body type wearing the wrong style of tux (short, plum fellow wearing a double breasted jacket, etc), and the way a man handles himself (stiff, relaxed, etc) make more of a negative statement than a professional Rolex that fits well on the wrist.

This. I would not wear either the sub or daytona with a formal attire.

I think either one would be great. Flip a coin lol

Daytona!

capote · 11 July 2013, 12:42 AM

I would go with the JLC humid or not. Many more chances to wear Submariner or Daytona.
