I didn't care what looked best, I went with the one that mattered the most to me. For me, it was my Sub.

I really didn't care if the watch was color coordinated to my tux.

Im not sure we are at the point of OF with tux. I would go with BLNR because of jubilee bracelet and if you have some blue on your suit. But out of the box I'd actually like the SS YM first, that's the dressiest and most elegant of all. But let her pick.

Here’s the watch my in-laws presented to me the night before my wedding to their daughter in 1972. I had never heard of Rolex and I wore a pocket watch in my vest pocket of three piece suits in those days lol…

You’re right about the OF. Navy suit with white French cuffs. I actually thought about the SS YM as an option as well…she gifted me that one as well, so it’s certainly an option. Will bring them all and I guess it will be a game time decision…

Actually why didn't we think of that, just bring a roll of all three (leave it with a family member) and wear all of them! If she can change outfits during the ceremony you can change watches.

Btw if you don't mind telling strangers on the internet, but why wait so many years to get married? She seems like a really caring and thoughtful person getting you all these Rolexes. Congrats.
