I know there's often a lot of talk (and disagreement) about wearing SS models with suits on these pages so I thought it was interesting to spot Lord Alan Sugar, an "old-school" chap by his own admission, and a multi-billionaire to boot, doing exactly that on tonight's episode in the boardroom.

Good pic.

KrismanX · 5 October 2017, 08:34 AM

The subdials look like they're not black...Couldn't be a modded 116520...could it?

richard371 · 5 October 2017, 08:35 AM

I think it’s the angle and reflection but I see what you mean.

sensui · 5 October 2017, 08:38 AM

Looks great on him!

I certainly agree, I'm firmly in the "SS & suit is absolutely fine" category.

Amiroo · 5 October 2017, 08:54 AM

Wore my batman with a blue suit and it looked amaaazing. But I could be bias cuz im literally complementing myself on how good I look.

brandrea · 5 October 2017, 08:55 AM

Looks great. Who says you can't wear SS Rolex with a suit.

The Libertine · 5 October 2017, 09:03 AM

Should be no shame in wearing SS with a suit.

My SS 116520 goes fantastic in all my suits, shorts and even just by itself(although my birthday suit, it still shouts NSFW)

Yeah...Carlos Slim often is spotted wearing a vintage SS Daytona while wearing a suit as well!

Nah...clearly a Daytona 500!

AK797 · 5 October 2017, 11:53 AM

It was def the D500. Actually it looked a bit small on him, his YG Subc fit him better.

Ruud Van Driver · 5 October 2017, 11:57 AM

I bet he wasn’t on any waiting list for it either.

Maybe he was.

Then he bought the AD!

AK797 · 5 October 2017, 09:20 PM

If he isn't one of the guys buying at a premium then who the hell is!

Quicksilver · 5 October 2017, 09:26 PM

I wonder if he bought grey or new from an AD. I should think he's a priority customer wherever he shops.

jaySL350 · 5 October 2017, 10:08 PM

I wager a bet that Lord Sugar didnt pay a penny and looking at our low the watch is fitted then its perfect product placement ,,,,,,jay

Who says that you can’t wear a SS watch with a suit?
That’s it I will have to cancel my PP 5126.

He wore that watch on last year’s Apprentice

Rolex addict · 6 October 2017, 12:02 AM

Great pic!!

nigelUK · 6 October 2017, 12:25 AM

Yeah I noticed that last night & got mildy excited . . . we are a sad lot !

Manse1001 · 6 October 2017, 12:38 AM

He may have purchased from Watchfinder . . .

If you look on their FaceBook page you can see him shaking hands with one of my friends. He apparently visited to replace some beloved watches his sadly lost in a recent robbery . . .

Rhone1 · 6 October 2017, 12:42 AM

I have never heard that you can't wear a stainless steel watch with a suit. That makes no sense.

Boaters · 6 October 2017, 12:45 AM

Now thats SS class i like it

'Andy' · 6 October 2017, 02:44 AM

He was wearing this last year too.....one of the magazines did a feature on all of the Rolexs he wore last year during the show so keep your eyes peeled this year..!!!
I won't post a link but just Google it....its easy to find

savoytruffle · 6 October 2017, 04:11 AM

He got it from his AD (outside of London) who he's very loyalty to:

Nope, I remember he basically got some other poor sod's watch that was on a waiting list. Cant remember if it was on this forum the guy posted about it.

Fletcher UK · 6 October 2017, 07:40 AM

He wears a different watch in every episode. It's part of the fun trying to identify them every week. Think OP should add a pick to this thread every week
