Ok, Im almost ready to get my first Rolex, I got my Eye on the black Sub. But one question.. I dont always dress up casual, half the time Im wearing basketball shorts and tennis shoes to work, because I like to be comfterbal in my office, When i goto meetings or an event, I dress up casual.

You guys think this watch will fit me?
I want a everyday watch that can go with almost anything really..
what you guys think?

I dont wanna look funny going to work wearing basketball shorts and sporting a Rolex

gforce,
I work in an office environment wear I dress slacks and a nice shirt on days when I may be giving a presention, or a golf shirt and shorts the next. Anything you wear will go with a sub.

Heck Subs go with anything.

gforce · 14 June 2006, 12:40 AM

Anything?

what about these?

C.J. · 14 June 2006, 12:56 AM

A Sub can go from board shorts at the beach to a tux at a formal affair, no problem

. Just ask Mr. Bond

Hi Gabriel why worry what others think,be your own man, the Sub goes with everything even all over bare skin.

colemanitis · 14 June 2006, 01:37 AM

I don't have a Sub, but my black GMT looks similar and goes great with shorts/t-shirt, after all it is a sport watch. You don't have anything to worry about, now GO BUY IT!!!

Rockrolex · 14 June 2006, 01:46 AM

Not to worry, Gabe. The Sub will go with anything, as others have said. Same with the black bezel GMT.

Well, JJ sits around in his "shorts and singlet" admiring his watches, so I guess if it works for you, go for it. One thing however, I would rather not hear about you sitting around in your underwear......one of "that type" on this board is enough (actually one is too much, but Ed hasn't been able to ban the BKL yet

).

gforce · 14 June 2006, 06:56 AM

LOL

I was just kiddin about the shorts.. LOL

You guys convinced me, I am gonna get it, Only prob is, I have to wait till July 1st

mailman · 14 June 2006, 11:04 AM

If James Bond can wear it with a tux or to the beach, so can you

Launch Mini · 14 June 2006, 12:05 PM

No worries at all. It is one of, if not , THE most versatile watches out there.
If your dressing "down" and someone notices your watch, ( and they know it's a Rolex ), they won't care what your wearing. It's all good.

djemmtee · 14 June 2006, 12:44 PM

george...i think you and I are around the same age....i got my rolly when I was 23, it doesnt matter where you wear it! i wear my watch everywhere and with anything(except basketball shorts). enjoy it, the best part of it is when someone asks to look at it upclose to see if its authentic after viewing it upclose, they realize that is a real one! that look is the best feeling....good luck bro!

silverman · 14 June 2006, 11:34 PM

This is the reason (or one of them) for me wanting a sub 16610.I can wear it to work with a suit and tie, then wear it with jeans and a t-shirt.Hell Charlie Boorman wore one on a BMW motorbike and did 20000 miles through some pretty ordinary conditions,Long Way Round is the dvd which is great viewing.
Then someone like Bond 007 wears it with a tux.Cant get any more versatile than that.And hey i'm a panerai man.
Good luck,you wont regret it !!!!

There's only one thing that goes with those shorts.
It is not a watch.
It is ......
A robe!!

Ah yes, Long Way Round is great stuff. I've got to dig out the DVD and watch it again - suddenly I wasn't sure if Charlie wore a Sub or a GMT, and did Ewan wear a Panerai?
