Mr.? Bond...James Bond

Wrist shot at a black tie event. It's been a while since I wore a tuxedo and I couldn't get Sean Connery, Martinis, and Rolex out of my head.

Actually that explorer with a black croc or leather strap would be VERY classy and stylish. NOT a NATO! Natos are COOL but not dressy I don't care what you say.

I agree. NATOs are not dressy. Cool, yes.

Looking good. I agree that a black leather or croc strap would be a knockout with a tux.
