Does anyone also enjoy wearing "backwards" combinations of a dress watch with casual clothes / and a sports watch with dress clothes?

Mr. Miami · 3 October 2020, 02:17 AM

i’d wear that 5167a with casual and suit.

Murcielagoboy2 · 3 October 2020, 02:31 AM

That 3940 looks fantastic- looks even better with a T-shirt.

I don’t buy any of this BS about coordinating dress watches with “dress outfits” - it’s as if everyone here suddenly styles themselves on some GQ fashion feature when going to work or out.
Many will take this the wrong way, but when I was living in the US, I’d go for an upscale dinner and find the 70% of the men wearing the US staple of khakis, polo shirt, with running shoes. Looked bloody awful.

Most can wear an outfit as egregious as that, but a Patek on a strap suddenly needs to be coordinated with a suit.

Nonsense. Sports watch craze is about showing off.

To the OP: that 3940 looks mega. The aquanaut ? Meh!

The 3940 is a stunner. I’d wear that with anything. And for some reason the charms of the Aquanaut are lost on me as well.

I had a casual croc strap made for my JLC to dress it down a little.

mongrelnomoad · 3 October 2020, 04:11 AM

Wear whatever the heck you like, with whatever the heck you like. The only thing that would affect my choice of watch is the punishment it'd be subjected to. I wouldn't swim with a dress watch, but I'd sure as heck wear it to the park...

sgfortino · 3 October 2020, 07:14 AM

Totally agree. Pre-COVID I often wore my 5165 with a suit and find myself wearing my Cellini Moonphase or FPJ with jeans/shorts and a tshirt all the time. And, to be honest, I love it that way.

RyanO · 3 October 2020, 10:07 AM

I say go for it

Back when they were just "watches" and not so genre orientated, I think you wore a watch (often your only watch) so you could know what time it was. I think that 3940 looks great for almost anytime i'd wear a watch that wasn't a g-shock. I'm also generally pretty conservative when i'm not hiking or lounging at the beach or whenever.

JSCP · 3 October 2020, 12:05 PM

I do it all the time! it only requires a lithe style

mzcloud · 3 October 2020, 03:33 PM

I wear the 5270P casually with jeans and tshirt very often

dchang81 · 3 October 2020, 04:08 PM

I wore my 5131 with shorts and a t-shirt today. My 4 year old said cool watch daddy, I like the colors.

d11n · 3 October 2020, 04:09 PM

3940 + jeans + t-shirt =

djona · 3 October 2020, 05:51 PM

scurfa · 3 October 2020, 06:00 PM

Jeans, joggers and Patek

JSolution · 3 October 2020, 06:29 PM

Waiting on my first patek ... 5205r I think is my decision atm ..

But yeah I totally get what you’re saying I love to wear a day date with a Nike/Adidas tracksuit ha.

There are no rules really any more, esp with so many casual multi-millionaires from big tech, so just do you.

Totally agree. I like to go opposite, I like the oxymoronic nature of wearing super smart with super casual, same as I like the concept of rubber bracelet on a gold watch.

Pretty much

Frits1980 · 3 October 2020, 11:09 PM

People judge on appearance. You may not like it or dont care that doesnt make it not true.

If you are a billionaire or some celeb, wear your hoodie, shorts and flip flops, np. If not dont be suprised to get a table near the bathroom or no table at all at fancy restaurants.

As for the matching watches/clothes. Most men dress so poorly the type of watch, be it dress, be it sports, makes absolutely no difference. A classy calatrava doesnt make a bad suit or look suddenly look good.

gentlemen thanks for your input ! some great wrist shots in this thread!
