I wear my 16610 with a suit and it looks great.

-Ross

Dr. Robert · 12 March 2011, 02:52 AM

These are the watches I wear with a suit........& I consider a suit, jacket & pants, maybe vest, all same fabric......

this watch, w/ navy or black blazer, gray or khaki pants

The Panerai is the small one, 40mm fits under ls dress shirt & suit cuff.
The YG DJ & Omega I also wear w/ a black tux.
I'll leave the sport watches w/ suits/tuxs to the celebs, their taste is in their mouths

4 Ranges · 12 March 2011, 02:59 AM

Yay!

Route 66 · 12 March 2011, 03:02 AM

Why not?

Grissom · 12 March 2011, 03:10 AM

I do it (Sub, GMT, and the like), will continue to do it, and see no reason not to do it, as long as I like the look. I have also worn Pateks, including my Perpetual (in the 1980's), also a "big" watch (in my opinion) at the time. I simply do not care to follow other people's "norms" when they don't make sense to me. I'm 56, and having spent over 20 years in forensic medicine, specializing in litigation support, working in other countries on large scale accidents, such as airplane crashes, chemical/pesticide. In meeting/working with government and military officials, and spending time in court, I have worn suits much of my adult life, often sporting a GMT, and have never felt uncomfortable.

I wouldnt think twice

seand442 · 12 March 2011, 03:18 AM

By all means. A Sub or SD would never look out of place IMHO.

big YAY !

SteKos · 12 March 2011, 04:49 AM

I'm on the "nay" list. Especially something over-sized like a Panerai.

There's plenty of dress watch options.

i wear my 116619 blue sub with a hundred dollar suit, makes my suit look like a thousand bucks.

Rguerrini · 12 March 2011, 04:58 AM

Absolutely as long as you wear all gold with earth tones and stainless with Greys, blacks etc.

I find TTs work well with most everything. You will need more watches..

Yeah, and my 'nonconformist' brother wears running shoes with a suit. He thinks it makes him look hip or something... But he's divorced and hasn't had a date in years.

bighaole · 12 March 2011, 05:20 AM

One of the reasons I bought the Explorer II was that it seemed to go great with a suit and it seemed to go great with shorts and a t-shirt. I definitely fall into the "yes" category. I also have a large wrist, which I think further downplays the "sport" or "tool" aspect of the watch. I agree with the earlier comment that I would not wear something more oversized, like a Panerai, with a suit.

Maybe so, but most of us don't wear 'Freedom cuffs', and a fat watch like that spoils the line of your suit, if it fits under the cuff at all.

dannyboy123 · 12 March 2011, 05:39 AM

I think a sub is fine but the new DSSD less so,but still ok.

I love watch snob, most amusing.He says yes on the sub too;

Ahhh...have not seen the "can I wear my Rolex with a suit" thread in a while...

jamesbondOO7 · 12 March 2011, 05:50 AM

Of course you can.

Power Play · 12 March 2011, 05:51 AM

Three words: Ab. So. Lutely.

IMHO sub goes with EVERYthing. If you're feeling really dressy you can go with the SS YM.

Not sayin dress watches don't have their place. Just like the idea that you can go from the boardroom directly to the surfboard without changing watches....

In one's own mind, sure...but without good quality and cut to start with, no accessory performs magic tricks.

renfield33 · 12 March 2011, 06:00 AM

you can, but i would prefer to wear a patek philippe calatrava (even though i don't have one)

RedwinGV · 12 March 2011, 06:03 AM

In this age, there are few sins of what to where.

Still, for me, a tool watch is not "clean" enough to go with more formal attire. Sure ads will be there to show otherwise- why not? For me, though, it's a no.

1675-David · 12 March 2011, 06:04 AM

Tool watch and sneakers !! As long as you are comfortable

PHDX2 · 12 March 2011, 06:05 AM

Sure!

Chipmunk · 12 March 2011, 06:06 AM

Do it.....as long as your comfortable, otherwise don't.

AK40DJ50 · 12 March 2011, 06:14 AM

I think the dress watches look best with a suit but a sport model is not out of place, either. Wear what makes you comfortable.

probably just me, i've always been the casual clothing person, i have to wear a shirt and pants for work, but i've never been a suit person.

jdc · 12 March 2011, 06:21 AM

If I had to wear a suit for work I would, in a social setting requiring suit/DJ I would prefer a dress watch
