Outfit Question

[RolexDan82]

I obviously match my watch strap to my belt and shoes. But do you guys typically wear a watch, like a submariner, with a blue suit. I know in theory a submariner should go with anything, but I gravitate towards wearing the sub with black and gray. Just curious.

There are a few non Rolexes out there on blue bands, but I hesitate to buy because I wear brown belts and shoes with blue suits and I’m not sure if it will go.

Sub on bracelet with blue suit is fine. Blue dial Sky-D is also an option.

Most any watch works with anything these days. Don't forget some years ago, most people had only one watch they wore as a daily with everything.

I’m just here to say you do not need to match your watch with your shoes and belt. A watch is an accessory and does not need to match.

Matchy-matchy is a real thing.

Sub with a suit looks good IMHO. An SS Rolex is so versatile it can be dressed up or down. My OCD won’t allow me to wear a watch with a leather strap if my belt and shoes are a different color than the strap.

a black sub will go with anything. if its green, then its another story (one of the reasons why i havent gotten a green sub is the ease of matching with outfits)

A black dial Submariner goes great with a navy suit. Only a small number of watch snobs on watch forums think it doesn’t go with a navy suit. That said, a DJ is even better.

Also, this is why I don’t like watches on leather straps. I think if you’re wearing black shoes and a black belt, then your watch strap should be black too. I never mix a watch on a black leather strap with brown shoes and a brown belt. A watch on a bracelet makes this problem go away for me.

The only watch in my collection I won’t wear with a suit is my Seamaster Diver 300. I think it’s over the top for a suit. My 2 cents…

I'm still a bit old school and feel that sport watches don't typically go well in formal attire. So more plain Jane watches on leather / croc straps is what I typically wear.

Absolutely!

Navy and green are a great pair.

nowadays wear what you like. bracelet works for suit too unless you are wearing a tux

Purely down to personal preference. If it looks good to you, it's good. Nobody else will be checking your watch colour coordination.

I don't wear a divers watch with a suit, no.

[Normunds]

How does one match watch on stainless steel bracelet with belt and shoes?

Do people still ask these questions? Where what you like because nobody else cares, or will likely notice.

Obviously. but what about your socks? For heaven sake man, you must consider your socks.

[AlanH]

“Obviously”?

Simple answer no I wear a watch the watch dont wear me,cannot believe some of the posts on forum lately...

[Old Expat Beast]

Just wear the watch you feel like wearing. Almost no one will judge you for it, and if they do, you don't want to know them anyway.

Match your socks with the seconds hand on your watch, complete the look

OP, I believe you’re overthinking it.

[Phwtch1]

Okay I've never even considered selecting a belt or shirt or anything else just so it matches my watch. Hope I'm not weird for thinking it's not even necessary.

Im as clothes-conscious as anyone and I've never thought it relevant what-so-ever to match my watch to anything I'm wearing OTHER THEN when I wear a tux. Given that I'm actually not James Bond, I wear a slim dress watch with a tux.

(There is a traditional approach that requires no wristwatch be worn with evening wear. I am comfortable violating that . . . unless and until I'm invited to an event at a castle in the English countryside.)

I do the matchy-matchy thing with my clothing and accessories. Nothing wrong with that if it works for you. The only issue is you require more clothing and accessories to get everything to match up. The SS Submariner works but I added a Polar Explorer II for a neutral dial color and also an option for other colors.
