First World Problems

I'm lucky enough to have options and I'm thankful for that, but I'm not sure what to wear to the engagement party of my good friend hosted by his bride-to-be parents in a hoity toity setting. I will be in a suit. Opinions welcomed. My other half says, without a doubt, Pepsi. Don't tell her, but I value my fellow TRFers opinion more

Zenith but the GMT would be a good second place.

First of all it is always wise to follow the wife's advice even if it is good advice. For me, Zenith no doubt.

What's the suit/shirt/tie color you plan on wearing? If you're wearing a white shirt/charcoal suit, then yeah, zenith...but if you plan to wear some color, the others may help go with the extra pop.

I would go GMT.
Nice classic black bezel, nice wrist presence, PCL's for a dressy look. Much fresher IMO.
Would be my choice.

Go with the gold in any dress situation... The Z is too bland IMHO
