Icon5 If you could wear any watch in the world to a Black Tie event ?
Price is no issue here. If you could choose 1 watch, any watch in the world to wear to a black tie event where any number of celebrities would also be attending. Which watch would you chose!?

Bored and curious to see what you fellas would choose.

Totally unoriginal for me but either a black bezel sub or a seamaster... No prizes for guessing my cinematic hero!

This for me but I would hope the heating is on, wearing just a black tie I imagine it would be a bit nippy.

ALS Zeitwerk minute repeater with blue dial.

My tux is also midnight blue so the two would pair very well.

Let’s get real... black tie formal event means it is time for the quintessential classic Patek Philippe Calatrava...

Fact is I'd never be invited to such an event and if celebrities were there I would refuse to attend anyway.
