Suit With New Explorer
Hello Friends,
I'm heading over to the UK next week for a wedding and was wondering whether I could get away with wearing my new explorer II 42mm with a suit. Does anyone here wear it that way daily, and if so, is it comfortable? I'll be wearing a dress shirt with French cuffs. Pics welcome and thanks in advance. The alternative would be to bring my Daytona and or IWC.

Explorer will look superb; i often wear mine with a suit whilst travelling on business and it's great. Also looks the business with casual wear and the GMT is a constant benefit

The Explorer will be fine. I wear dress slacks, long sleeve shirt and a jacket with a Rolex Professional Model all the time.

I wear a suit daily and I alternate between my Explorer II Polar 16570 and my Rose Gold Date Just. I think the Explorer looks great in a suit.

Your Sub would look good with a suit - is this not an option?

I think the Explorer II would be fine with a suit, but then again I might not be the best person to advise. I've worn a Timex ironman with a suit in my time.

You can wear either and both would look fine with a suit IMHO.

EXP II42 looks good with a suit. Didn't you see the pic of Prince Harry here with his Exp II42 with his formal wear? You'd fit right in with the royal family. Enjoy!

I agree with the others that both the 5001 and 216570 both will work fine. Wear what you want...who cares what anyone else thinks??

Would definately go great with a suit.
Sorry, no pics from me. You've been loving your new Exp2 lately so I'd say go with that.

I'm not a GQ sorta guy, but I'm still somewhat fashion conscious. I wear suits for work, so that's more than not, and I never hesitate to wear my Explorer II 42. My watch doesn't typically show much, as it's partially covered by the shirt sleeves, but I think it would be just fine if it did. I wouldn't hesitate to wear it at a wedding. Have fun!
