klt11 1 Posted April 3, 2017 I have my cousins wedding coming up in 2 months and I'm picking the outfit now. I've got a beautiful black suit a hand made pair of shoes and now I'm indecisive on what watch to wear. I think it would make sense to go for a Patek calatrava which would slip right under the cuff of my shirt but I find them very simple. So please throw me some options!!! Leather or bracelet, 40-44mm, something with a little something something to it!!! Give me some ideas Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

purger72 0 Posted April 3, 2017 Well its your cousins wedding. ...so it is all about him..! Make sure you not wearing better watch that he does. Why dont you list watches you considering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike_morgan 0 Posted April 3, 2017 A gentlemen's dress watch is the most elegant of watches. It has one purpose and that’s to tell time. It should not have complications. It needs to be simplistic. Elegant. And above all, minimalistic. It isn’t some gaudy watch that’s bejeweled with diamonds or a chronograph that is so big it looks like a clock. It is subtle, understated and charming. The Calatrava is the PERFECT choice. On a dress watch, even having a DATE complication is going too far, and a second hand is optional. Think of it this way, in a situation where a celebration is taking place, or a formal dinner, being concerned with time is considered to be rude. Your timepiece should reflect that you acknowledge that you're at the event to celebrate, not to be on a schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chiquita Fanjita 1,781 Posted April 3, 2017 The Calatrava is the dressiest of dress watches, and would be right up there for me. Other options would be AP 15400, Breitling SOH, Cartier Santos or a nice Nautilus of some variety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dilip 0 Posted April 3, 2017 I'd have to say go gen on this one as well, mostly considering the photos that will follow... congrats btw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86 0 Posted April 3, 2017 Reverso? I've been looking at a few lately myself, they have a chic hard to surpass. Otherwise if you own one a Calatrava is a good shout. ....Or you could also pick up a new Tuxedo Portuguese? Have to throw an IWC in because, well, my obsession!

rikracy 1,693 Posted April 3, 2017 Agreed!...IWC for me but a Patek very close behind! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klt11 1 Posted April 3, 2017 Options were either Calatrava Rolex datejust exactly like the one boycie posted above AP 15400 exactly like the one posted! Thanks for the feedback guys so far everything posted is what I've considered. Wouldn't go for anything with any complications And my cousin actuslly asked if he could borrow my sub for the wedding so he's wearing that !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bidle 0 Posted April 3, 2017 I don't wear a watch to a wedding at all. If I would I would go for a dress watch a simple two hand watch. So no date and no seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
