I know it’s a personal preference, and I suspect that I’ll know the overall position of most on this forum, but I’d still be interested to hear everyone’s comments about the issue of whether one should wear a sub with a suit.
Thanks.

Not if we're strict, but I don't like rigidity in fashion. Therefore I would use it although a Datejust or a Day Date is preferable

huncho · 19 April 2020, 08:07 AM

looks weird to me tbh

marmite2005 · 19 April 2020, 08:07 AM

Why not, bankers / traders been wearing Subs with suits in London for 30 years

barneb10 · 19 April 2020, 08:07 AM

Do whatever you're comfortable with. If it's wrong, you will know it.

bremersm · 19 April 2020, 08:07 AM

In my opinion a suit is meant to be "business formal" and for me this means dress watch.

MrMercedes · 19 April 2020, 08:10 AM

It is a Rolex! You can wear it with everything!!!

Both are excellent observations!!! Besides, since my GMT II is my only Rolex it is worn with my suits or shorts and everything in between. It is not like I am picking my teeth in public or anything.

dmearc · 19 April 2020, 08:23 AM

With a proper suit at a formal event or meeting, not for me.

With a suit jacket out for dinner or drinks, sure.

It's just all about health, happiness & family. The rest are just necessary inconvenience we have to deal with.

Rebel · 19 April 2020, 08:26 AM

I've changed my opinion. In the past, I did wear Rolex sports models with a suit. I now prefer a dress watch. My wife gave me a Citizen Eco-Drive dress watch for this purpose. Now the Tudor Submariner (my current sports model) is the daily wear but, not with suit, etc.

It all depends on how important your image is to you and those that are looking at you. In most cases, that is unimportant, but there are circumstances where it is very important. The wearer should know the level of importance, but some people are not self-aware enough to understand this.

-Ally- · 19 April 2020, 08:33 AM

No way for black tie.

RJRJRJ · 19 April 2020, 08:34 AM

Yes

Phooi · 19 April 2020, 08:42 AM

Bond, James Bond.

jackminny15 · 19 April 2020, 08:44 AM

Of course you can. It's 2020, not 1950.

nsxnext · 19 April 2020, 08:49 AM

Who cares?
If people can wear an iWatch with a suit a Sub is perfectly fine.

Absolutely, why not.

It occurs to me that this is the perfect answer.
I see I-watches being worn with suits every single day.

Pandemic, cats and dogs getting along - the world had gone crazy.

Harry-57 · 19 April 2020, 09:04 AM

I would and I do. Nobody else needs to if they don't want to. It's a personal preference.
