I wear mine with a suit almost every day at work.

No one cares about the watch I wear and I like it that way.

I believe anyone who judges a person based on their watch clashing with their suit/clothes must be extremely shallow and a total a$$!

Kind regards

Pepsi is always at work, black or grey suit, white shirt.... blue, or red tie..

0luke1 · 30 December 2008, 06:41 AM

I do all the time.

I notice many "sports" watches with suits these days.

bradg · 30 December 2008, 09:02 AM

I would wear any Rolex with anything. The finest time piece going. People are wearing Timex's with a fine suit. Think about it! A GMT with a suit...absolutely

Bisquitlips · 30 December 2008, 09:21 AM

Birthday suit! SURE!!!!

DSJ · 30 December 2008, 09:23 AM

Sure!

walds11 · 30 December 2008, 09:25 AM

F yeah, why the hell not? I wear my SS Sub Date with a suit all the time.

Flaxmoore · 30 December 2008, 09:30 AM

Just give me the chance! I have the suit, now who'll set me up with the watch?

Romi · 30 December 2008, 10:57 AM

I would. It is a Rolex.

Tie and shirt matter much more.

builtforspeed · 30 December 2008, 11:08 AM

It looks fine with a suit. One bit of advice, though: don't wear gold cuff links or belt buckle with a ss watch. In fact, I would avoid cuff links altogether, as that look is a little too formal for a sport watch (even the lovely GMT).

Cheers,

Chris

Andad · 30 December 2008, 11:12 AM

OMG no, I couldn't do that.

What's a suit?

East Bay Rider · 30 December 2008, 11:24 AM

What would The Luxury Guy (aka Archie42) say?

tommypit · 30 December 2008, 12:13 PM

It wouldnt be my first choice to wear to a wedding; however no matter what color, its still a rolex!

I think any rolex can be worn in any situation......unless its "iced up".

take that pepsi directly to the open bar!

CPCC · 30 December 2008, 04:34 PM

Yes, rollies are beautiful and yes they are prestigious. But style is still style. A pepsi will not go with everything. Just like a brown belt wont go with black shoes, even though both may be expensive and gorgeous in their own right.

grex · 30 December 2008, 05:03 PM

Just wear it mate! but if you have doubts, flip it for an explorer II then!

All occasions watch !!

golfball123 · 31 December 2008, 05:30 PM

Generally i think rolex watches are dressy n it depend on how 'dress up' you want to be as the basic SS is good enough but as you upgrade to TT or full gold, it get better n better

Right!! Cost of an average good suit....say around $600.

Cost of an average SS Rolex.....say around $5000.

Questoin should be: Which SUIT would go with any Rolex?

Not sure but I do know that my blue jeans go well with my red porsche.

No.

333D · 31 December 2008, 10:17 PM

Would you also wear clean black Timberland boots with a suit as well?

Exactly. They are nice, they are Rolex, but if I had the option of wearing a dress watch instead of a sport watch I would. I also agree no one would care, if they even noticed.

Personally, cost isn't an issue, or $300 Nike basketball shoes would be more appropriate with a suit than $299 traditional leather lace-ups. Everyone has their own views on this and it's no different from any other "style" decision.

I am puzzled though by some that say "heck yea" are among the first to bitch about polished links and other steps Rolex is taking to obviously make a $7K GMT-IIC and the new Subs, etc, that 95% of people are buying as a luxury item, fit in a bit easier in all situations and not just be a "tool watch."

Thats what I would think 99.9999999 would never notice.
If Bond wears a Blue SeaMaster with a suit then why not.

Psmith · 1 January 2009, 01:54 AM

Cool with a suit - the (old) GMT and the Exp II

They both wear a bit slimmer than the Sub/SD and dress up better, helped by a tad more polish (bracelet link ends) and smaller clasp.

Cheers
