Went well! There was no need to worry! I don’t think I saw one other watch as nice as the ExpyII

Fantastic and just as I quietly suspected

What other watches did you actually see? After all, I assume they were all tucked away under a long sleeve shirt

Any Apple watches amongst them?

Yes it is wearable anytime to anywhere.

The odds of these “critical comments” being said aren’t very good. Maybe like one in a thousand.

I'm going against the grain here and saying that the black dialed Explorer II actually dresses better with a suit than an all stainless Sub and GMT.

The reason I say that is because there's no color to the bezel on the Explorer II. A dressier watch would NOT have color to the bezels, including the black bezel of the Sub. They would have a metal bezel, like an Explorer 1, 2, or any Datejust or Day Date.

Exactly this 100%! 99% Apple watches or frankly 80% bare wrists with iPhones on the dinner table! Less than 1% of us even wear a real watch much much less a dress watch. Enjoy your Explorer and move on…. 😎

Honestly anything goes these days.

I was at a wedding recently and saw everything from dress watches to Apple Watches with suits

GONZO2LR · 15 August 2022, 10:45 PM

Its a Rolex...how can you go wrong.....forget those debbie downers...

It's not a dress watch, so no - it's not appropriate. A proper dress watch or no watch would look better.

Thomas Brown · 15 August 2022, 11:32 PM

Perfect!

Are you being serious? or just trolling? (I'm being serious)..

or did you come from working for HMS in London preparing guests for dinner with the queen?

Meyrin · 16 August 2022, 03:21 AM

Yes, wear it! Who cares what others might think and anyway, I guarantee you nobody (apart from some WIS) will notice it! Enjoy the wedding!

Well, he's just a duke. Therefore, he still has plenty of time to learn etiquette before his coronation. Exactly that's what we can see on this picture: The Duke of Cambridge practices wearing the crown - on his wrist.

God save the Queen!

He’s not a watch snob that thinks you need to wear a dress watch. He has all the etiquette he’ll ever need.

I have a DJ41 which serves as my dress watch, but if I had to, I’d definitely wear my black dial Submariner with a suit. It’s a classic look.

Correct. He doesn’t require any tips on etiquette from Internet forums.

Gentlemen, I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Maybe it wasn't the best English humor, but obviously I meant it as a joke.

That is why please allow me to remind you that a few days ago I posted a picture of him wearing such a watch with a tux. That's why I believed then and now that if he can do this, then there is no question that the old-fashioned watch dress code is officially considered outdated.
