Why do people care so much what other people think? Are they paying your bills? Are they putting food on your table? If the world decided that barefoot was the new trend with Tuxedos would you follow along?

Dress however you want. You paid for your watch. It’s your watch. Just enjoy it. Everyone is too preoccupied with their own bs in life to care what $30,000 watch you’re wearing with your suit.

An Oyster band is just fine in any attire. Wear it like you own it.

I’ve been thinking the same thing as the OP. I work in a corporate environment where suits, shoes, socks and haircuts matter. Everyone ends up looking 90% the same. Sad but true.

I wore a Hulk for a while and had dozens of comments each week, to the point where I realised it was the wrong choice for the office.

When my 116519LN arrives, I’ll be switching up to the leather band for workdays. OF for weekends and holidays!

Just wear the watch your suite will not care what you are wearing, I would doubt if anyone would notice whatever watch you was wearing.Rolex watches are meant to be worn in most all environments, no matter what cloths the owner is wearing.

Dozen of comments each week was you flashing it around, or were you work colleges so engrossed by staring at your watch.

Is it too much to ask that people read the entire thread or at least a post or two before freaking out and misinterpreting why a picture of someone wearing a red watch band was posted?

People Judge others within 7seconds. Often without even exchanging a word. Everyone does it. So yes it matters. Famous? FU money? Sure, np wear what you like. But the wrong clothes, the wrong haircut, wrong shoes, wrong watch etc. It matters. These things are little tells. Not 100% accurate but its the best we have. We cant talk for hours with everyone we meet to figure him/her out. So something silly like wearing the wrong watch with the wrong clothes can influence how people see you in a negative way. Like it or not.

I think it would be okay...probably not the best fit for the suit, but hey, in reality, nobody but us cares about what watch you're wearing.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I've worn a DD with a suit, and while it is a 'dressier' watch, for sure, one might make the claim it's on the blingy side. IMO, it's all about the look you're after.

If Leonardo Di Caprio wore one, would he be bashed for it? No. Oysterflex is a tremendous bracelet and is far from ugly, so wear it with what you like.
