I don"t own a sub, but the answer would still be no. I wouldn"t wear my Speedmaster or Seamaster either (regardless of Prince William). I'm going to a wedding next weekend. Will be wearing a vintage Omega of some sort on a black strap.

I have no style or clothing coordination so I wouldn’t even think about matching my watch to my clothes

Wear what you feel comfortable with. These "rules" were made in a very different time/world than today.

The Submariner goes with everything. Suit up, Tux up, wear what works and the Submariner works for me with everthing.

Let's be real, it's a Rolex at the end of the day. If anyone notices your watch, they'll associate Rolex with dressiness to begin with. This goes double for the ceramic Subs. You can call it a tool watch, it can certainly be used as one but the thing looks like a piece of jewelry.

I'll even go full Bond and wear one with a Nato and suit. I'm sure men will scoff and women will not want to associate with me as I'll be labeled an unfashionable piece of trash for it 🙄.
^^^I love this response.^^^

I used to. Now, I have a Cyma dress watch on a nylon strap that coordinates with my suit I wear on dress-up days.

I think a Sub looks very sexy with a suit, even tux.

Look at the pics in Rolex magazine #6. Very sexy! Except the one with the lady.

I would think a watch with a leather bracelet would fit better for a very formal occasion, but those pictures proved me wrong.

Did i say yet, very sexy?

I don't think its a bad idea to wear a Sub for any occasion. I feel like that is one of the few watches suitable for many occasions.

Don't own any of the clothes you mentioned. Shorts and Sanuks w/o shirt 90% of my time.

Wearing a Sub with a suit is like wearing sneakers with a suit...you look like a clown. Wear a proper dress watch with a suit or don't wear a watch at all. Show some class.

Sure, I feel like these days my Bluesy is the go-to for my smart-casual dress up watch.

It's a dress 'down' watch not a dress 'up'.
