A good look?

Kayaker52 · 10 January 2012, 10:56 PM

That watch,IMO can be worn with any type of attire.I had a few of them way back,should have held on to one.Damn it!!

Rebel · 10 January 2012, 11:01 PM

Gee, I'm not sure. Let me think a minute....think...think...think...well, if it was good enough for James Bond...aka Sean Connery...I love it!

Looks great. Wear in good health.

Keeperoftime · 10 January 2012, 11:52 PM

Look great!

AG1 · 11 January 2012, 12:20 AM

A vintage watch is classy enough to motivate a deviation from the no-sports-watch-with-suit rule.

Frogman4me · 11 January 2012, 01:23 AM

Beauty of the Sub its good with anything!

cdweller · 11 January 2012, 01:46 AM

It suits you (har har).

matt4hand · 11 January 2012, 01:48 AM

Yummy!

jjmcd · 11 January 2012, 03:20 AM

I think NATO strap is too casual for a suit. Would be fine on an Oyster band.

psv · 11 January 2012, 03:53 AM

Lovely watch. To your original question: not really. NATO/ZULU strap on a diver is technically not suit-wear, but who cares? :-)

mjclark32 · 11 January 2012, 03:53 AM

a great look

looks amazing

i kind of agree with above regarding the Nato...
would you consider a bit more traditional leather strap, perhaps a nice cordovan?

awesome watch

Jagatai · 11 January 2012, 04:48 AM

Do subs look good on lizard or croco? I think the threading on the Pam would look too casual for a suit. IMHO of course.

To the op that 5513 is very handsome with marching pearl to boot!

if the threading were matching to the patina of the tritium...nirvana

Trandy · 11 January 2012, 05:06 AM

A nice leather band would look more "dressy"....but that looks fine too.

bayerische · 11 January 2012, 05:19 AM

It looks great!

Watch is fine-- strap is less so. Vintage watch on dressier leather would be a nicer look, IMO.

Jason71 · 11 January 2012, 07:49 AM

I've had dinner with several businessmen wearing G-shock type watches with a suit or tie and slacks. That watch looks MUCH better IMHO. (I realize that both are not really accepted, but the Rolex is better)

HERITAGE82 · 11 January 2012, 08:34 AM

I think it looks great and in all honesty if you aren't trying to show your watch most shirt sleeves and jackets cover your watch the majority of the time, and with today's fashion a little fun under the shirt cuff is stylish.

Also, if you were in a business meeting the only person who would really notice would be a fellow WIS and therefore they would be drooling....

Tcaviglioli · 11 January 2012, 08:45 AM

for sure!! a vintage sub goes with everything! I would not say the same of modern ones ...

KDA · 11 January 2012, 09:25 PM

Actually, and while it may not be ideal with a suit, IMO there aren't any NATOs that look as good as this Khakhi one with this watch... And it is so comfortable...

cruvon · 11 January 2012, 09:52 PM

Think looks great on a suit though not sure about the brown NATO strap going with the blue stripes, maybe a black NATO will look even better.

My personal taste is a khaki with a brown suit and a grey for a black suit.

hatidua · 12 January 2012, 06:32 AM

I like the watch, I'd prefer an oyster bracelet.

mysonsrolex · 22 January 2012, 11:09 AM

to the OP, I think your watch is a beauty and certainly has enough cache to wear with a suit. I picked up my first Rolex this week and its also a meters first 5513 (also a 68 im told).

I wear a suit everyday and my 5513 will be my daily wearer. As yours looks in a lot better shape than mine you should know that at least 1 other person is wearing an old 5513 with a suit!!!!!

Its currently on a nato as I want to preserve the original bracelet - Im on the look out for a stylist leather nato strap for it - but I think the watch is versatile enough for suit wear in a solid block colour (admiralty grey, black, khaki, blue). There are some very nice and dressy leather nato's out there from what I can see.

wear yours in good health and mine says hi!

oneillba · 22 January 2012, 11:26 AM

It's your watch, wear it your way with whatever you wish.

HL65 · 22 January 2012, 12:09 PM

Of course!!

Wkross · 22 January 2012, 12:28 PM

Nice--both of the above 5513s are superb. My Vintage 5513 is inbound (SN 1.6M; II/1967)--but I also plan to set aside the periodic correct bracelet and wear it in my core rotation on a dark chocolate leather NATO/ZULU. :))
