Same here - gotta match SOMEthing I am wearing or the fashion police (office staff) would be horrified. Compared to some 3Ters, I have a small collection of about 40 watches all up - and a small but increasing number of straps I change out for something a bit different from tiem to time. Not all of my watches are expensive, either! I choose and wear based on mood and pre-planned daily activities. I have to admit that when big contracts are signed, I wear my best. Diver watches which catch the french cuffs of a shirt sleeve are usually left in the box during the working week in favor of something more dressy. And I wouldnt wear a yellow faced watch with pink cufflinks! But hey - I am a jeans and sweatshirt kinda guy after office hours, so then it is "anything goes". I did notice the other day though when wearing black pants and a black turtleneck sweater that my JAO PVD watch on natural leather with a PVD buckle was lookin pretty good. Otherwise, there's not much can go wrong with an SS watch and bracelet and ANY outfit... and red matches the color of my eyes after a hard day at the office~ I have gone to the dark side and turned all metrosexual!!! Please let GQ know my PM  Cheers - good Q. IanM hand6.gif

I base my choice on what color outfit Im wearing that day, what type of event is going on that day and what Ring and Necklace go with it. Im here in Colorado and I brought 12 watches with me to coordinate with my outfits, Yes Im a Clothes Whore! Im also going to the Silversmiths in Larimer Square to have some new Rings made woohoo.gif I need help and of course, I ask the wife if this watch makes my butt look big Great Question Last edited on Thu Jul 31st, 2008 09:26 am by hucky |

I work in a bank, so it's black suit or brown suit, and the watch usually matches it. I typically wear my OM on Fridays, as they are casual. I only have 4 or 5 watches I wear at work, so it's not too difficult to coordinate w/ the suit.

Like most of you, I try to pick a watch that goes with what I'm wearing. Casual outfits attract big sport watches, etc. My go-to sports watch is probably a Rolex Sub. More dressy outfits get a thinner and more elegant look. A vintage Omega Constellation on a black strap, for example. On the weekends, cottaging, etc - it's usually good to go with something rugged and durable... often an auto Invicta dive watch, or an auto swatch ... sometimes a quartz diver or chronograph (Chase-Durer or an ESQ)... I have also been known to strap on a digital Nike or even a G-Shock. Other than that, I try to have my watches make a statement. When you want your wrist to stand-out, you go with something big, colourful or even showy. When you want to blend in, you strap on something more understated. Great question toni!

Well....the first thing I do is look at all of them and ask myself "what do I feel like today" I think I end up doing what everyone else has mentioned, sometimes I get hooked on one watch for a week or so, sometimes I coordinate with what I'm wearing, sometimes it depends on the event I'm attending or the work I'm doing, sometimes I pick the watch that's been worn the least and sometimes the newest....I don't think I have a set routine to decide it just calls out to me and I wear it

I didn't think it could ever happen to me, but...I just changed the shirt I'm wearing tomorrow so it won't "clash" with my watch! Yikes!!! I'm so embarrassed. I set out a mostly red plaid shirt for tomorrow but then realized I wanted to wear my orange Doxa. Good-bye red shirt!

This is a pretty good question, because my wife makes fun of me when I say 'Does this watch look alright with these clothe?' or vice versa. Yes I've changed my shirt because it didn't fit right with the watch I was wearing. I think the biggest thing for me is what kind of image am I trying to project? I then arrange watch and clothing to suit. Mood can also play a part in this.

It is all about color/style vs mood for me. My mood (or better stated, my mode) will usually dictate what color/style to go with. Serious business=my black Omega, or my black Oris, while fun, active, and playful=my yellow Reef Ranger or orange Enzo V001. But when I just want to make a statement, I wear my big, bad-ass Formex AS6500! yourock.gif

Heh, I pick a watch to fit my outfit half the time. The other half, I decide what watch I really want to wear, and I select my outfit to match that. And please don't even ask me about my shoes. :P
