For the most refined events, one should never wear a wristwatch at all.lew_zealand wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 2:25 pmWhile I know I'm slightly altering the connotation of "dress" here, maybe it's better to think of watches like these as "suit" watches.tinpusher wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 8:32 amI have a little leniency for the seconds hand being there on a "true" dress watch just because I like them myself. The date on the other hand is a definite no no. You can have a "dressy _______" watch but if it has the date, it isn't a true "dress" watch.
P.s. I am fully aware of how pompous and douchey what I just wrote is. Can't help it when it comes to dress watches
Are they reserved for the most refined events? They might not be. Would they be at home under the jacket sleeve of a suit? Yes, they would. Just like a Rolex Day-Date is technically not a "dress" watch, but probably is not out of place while wearing either formal or less-than-formal attire.
For the record, I like what Marc is doing with his expansion of Islander watches to be more that SXK replacements.
I like the looks of those Islander "Datejust" watches. I'd weirdly like them even more if they came in two-tone and had a cyclops.
