jay, I'm thoroughly confused by your comment. One can wear an SS Sports Rolex with any attire be that formal, informal or extremely formal. When you pay $8k for watch it goes with everything particularly if that watch is a Rolex IMO.

Thank you, mate! Had a lovely visit to London back in 2008. Also included a TRF GTG as well.

Loved the people, history, and of course, the beer.
Plus, The Queen loves horses and have heard Her Majesty's favorite stop while in the US is Kentucky.

This isn't wearing a sports watch with a suit. It's wearing a sports watch with basically the most formal clothing you can have. Not impressed.

Getting back to the original point, I have to say that this is utter nonsense.

Whilst I am certain that the second & third in line to the throne of Great Britain would be devastated to learn that the "nephew of a tailor" disapproves of their choices of watch. It remains, nonetheless that the real beauty of a Rolex is that it really is a 'man for all seasons' and can (as was proved today) be worn at all occasions. . .

A diamond encrusted G-shock can cost more than 8k so I don't see the price point.

Your opinion is yours. I would never actually say any thing in person but to me it's just not right.

I would rather wear a proper dress watch that cost £500 than a Rolex that cost £5,000 with a suit. That's just who I am. There are levels of formality. Is it ok to wear it with a blazer and jeans ? Can I wear it if I'm just wearing formal pants and a shirt etc. and I understand they are all grey areas.

But to me anything above black tie is always a complete no.

When did I ever say they would care ? It's a Rolex forum and I expressed my opinion on the Rolex in that attire. I've acknowledged all along that it's just an opinion.

You're acting like I'm writing a letter to Buckingham palace. I know that the princes will never read this. Also being third in line to the throne is a birth right. He could be a serial killing white supremacist and he would still be third in line to the throne. It is no reflection on him as a person.

Being a nephew of a tailor does mean something. It's not a qualification but my uncle has been teaching me things for as long as I can remember. He's always given me style advice and it has served me well. There is no style police and no style law however I don't know many people who would not put a tailor at the top of the list of people who know about mens style.

Nothing was proven today. You can't prove something like this. If Harry does something that doesn't prove it is right. It will always be an opinion and mine is that no sports watch is an all occasion watch.

The fact is that your Uncle is wrong. The Royal family proved him wrong today. Then again, the truth is that there are actually NO 'rights or wrongs'. . .

Actually they attract millions of tourists every year, therefore from what I understand they brake even without adding a burden on the taxpayer. I do give the Queen credit as not many 86 year old women work, specially when their husband just fell I'll and is hospitalized.

As to the sport watch with formal attire, to me it does not make too much of a difference on them because they know how to handle themselves and are very comfortable wearing formal attire. It's not always what you wear, but how you wear it!

You've lost me there. . .

I've lost you ? The guy who starts a sentence by saying "your uncle is wrong" then ends it with "there are no rights or wrongs" ?

I have never said they were doing anything wrong. I have said things like "big no no for me" and you're acting like I've asked for a law to be put into place on the matter.

The basis for your argument is that the Royal Family doing something makes it right is one of the strangest things I've read on this forum. Two guys who were born into their positions have made a man who has spent the last 50 years in the business of mens style wrong ? Bearing in mind being a prince isn't a title associated with style. Got to be one of the most idiotic things I've every read.

Prince Charles had multiple affairs. Should I go and tell my uncle that being loyal to his wife for 30 years is wrong because a Prince does otherwise ? Brilliant.

[Hoppyjr]

It isn't a matter of which watch you wear - or what you wear it with - what matters is your actions and how you act toward others (remember the Golden Rule?). With that in mind, all outward appearances suggest both Price Harry and Prince William are squared away young men.

If you don't like a sports watch with a suit, then don't wear one. Simple as that

To me it would really be bad form for Prince William to take off his beloved Omega, which was a gift from his late mother, because he cared about what anyone thinks.

Their grandfather has a great Patek Philippe collection which I'm sure they have access to and yet they choose to wear rather simple sport watches for whatever reason it may be. This to me shows more character than having the "appropriate" watch.

Here is a glimpse:

Errm, I'm not entirely sure I see the pertinence of this line of argument but perhaps it would depend on the watch that His Royal Highness wore during his indiscretions?

Hey, not sure about the watch and attire debate - it's all about individual opinions. Thanks for the quote above though, gonna spin and tell my wife what's good for the Prince is good for m.... OUCH!! sorry darling, I didn't mean it jay 1988 influenced me.

Just trying to lighten the mood guys

Read my responses to this thread. I have made it pretty clear all along this is my opinion. I don't understand why people are saying things like "the fact is you're wrong". At least I acknowledged mine was a personal opinion instead of calling people "wrong".

You used the exact words "The Royal Family have proved him wrong". As if they are a barometer of all that is wrong and right in the world. That's the pertinence. You used someone's status as Royalty to try and discredit someone who has worked in the style industry his whole life.

I can explain the pertinence if you want. Given the fact that the Royal family aren't fashion experts you still took it upon yourself to use them to "prove" someone else was wrong. My point was simply the fact that if the Royal family doing something proves something else is wrong (I don't see how the words above can mean any thing else) aren't those of us who stay loyal to our partners wrong ? I mean Charles is the first in line to the throne. Another argument you have used before.

You are saying that the Royal family doing something makes it right. How else could them doing it prove someone else wrong ? Why does that not apply to other things they do like having affairs ?
