If you must have a watch to a tux, in your case go with the Rad on black strap.

well the YM to me is kinda too sporty for a black tie..even though i dont have a problem wearing a sport model with formal wear...i just think the pam looks classy with a tux

I'm much more of a Rolex guy than PAM but I still voted PAM given the choices. What you really need is an Explorer 39mm :-)

183 on a croc strap is nice.

Yea, i think im gonna go with the rad, i actually have 2 weddings back to back that weekend, the first being much more casual....was thinking of wearing the rad on an ammo with a brown linen suit, and then switching to the croc for the black tie deal....

tho, maybe ill just pick up one of these to go with the tux....

thats a lesson i learned fairly quickly (say, 2-3 straps in)...aside from a well done ammo you cant beat OEM straps. man, now i want one of the colored crocs or an oem canvas....and the boutique is on my way to and from work every day in NYC....so tempting

183 on a black croc will look good (if it works OK with the cuff)
