Now that you mention it, I did wear it with a suit once, just to torture the wife. And, it was stunning, if I do say so................Her? different opinion, much different

Yes, it looks GREAT with a suit.

diablojota · 9 April 2009, 08:20 AM

Absolutely! Without question. One of the most versatile tool watches when it comes to wardrobes.

Hi ASIAN1128,

I have raised up this issue before here on TRF!!! I got excellent positive feed back, and the SS Subdate is my daily watch on any attire

peppermannen · 9 April 2009, 08:27 AM

The SS sub is the only watch you NEED. All the others, you just want.

presario · 9 April 2009, 08:44 AM

Sport watches with suits and business casual wear are pretty common these days. The black enamel dial of the Sub really dresses up when you dress up.

kcmo · 9 April 2009, 08:48 AM

Definitely yes!!! A HOT look IMO!

It goes with all of the above, but not with formal attire (a suit and tie is not formal). Watch geeks disagree, but experts on formalware don't.

You are mistaken, it DOES go with a tux or dinner jacket !

Thanks,

Ignore formality if you like, but at least recognize that's what you're doing. A dive watch is not formal attire.

This comes up frequently and the gang always tells the questioner "do whatever you like." Fair enough, but that's not actually a true statement when it comes to formal attire. You can't do "whatever you like," and respect formality at the same time.

For example, I might think red Chuck Taylors look awesome with black tie, but it would be irresponsible to present that opinion as a summary of the traditions and customs of formal attire. There's a difference.

To the OP: you're asking an on-line wristwatch fan club a question they're incapable of answering objectively. Beware!

Pay no attention to the GQ article. They don't mention Rolex at all in their suggestions! I'm cancelling my GQ subscription!!
