Can the Diver be a dress watch? Show me!

[markiemark]

Well the title speaks for itself, but can the Diver be a dress watch? I wear every day a dress shirt, and I don't want it to look weird.

Usually I don't request pics from you boys, I use the search for that. But could you please post a wristie of your Diver (preferably on rubber) whilst wearing a dress shirt.

Thanks a bunch!

let it be said. The "diver" is not a dress watch. No way. It should be a "divers" watch, yet I have doubts as to who would seriously dive with the AP, Gen or otherwise. The Offshore as a watch is not considered a "dress watch" 

RO is a dress watch. I hear good things about the new 41mm watches.....

I cant think of a "dressy" offshore. Royal Oak is the line for dress....Like big? then I can only say Breitling or something that will not attrct to much attention!

Also despite the new v.4 or 5 i lose count the forged carbon is a steal that really does not raise questions because of it weight. 

I used to own a Gen Alinghi, look and feel perfect.

Accuracy is defined by the people that judge it, but the diver is a right move for a good looking close to Gen watch but suit and tie?

NEVER!

Hope your questions are answered and the next time i have a shirt or tie on I will upload a picture of the diver FC....

First of all I would think there are some divers you could get away with that being said rubber is not worn for dress.

I used to think that wearing a tool watch with a suit made you the tool... But ive seen people wear all kind of dumb gen watches with suits that are worth more than my whole gen/rep collection combined... So who am I to judge?

Wear whatever you want, just let the cuff out so your sleeve won't bunch up, and throw it on leather to match your belt & shoes.

There you go " throw it on leather to match your belt & shoes."

+1, as simple as that!

I wear mine with my suit every day. I will post a picture on Monday. I think it looks alright. Would prefer it on leather though

Diving watches are for diving.  

[ceocorona]

I disagree.  I think a divers watch can easily be used as a sporty dress watch.  The suit can dress up a watch just as easily as a pair or shorts and a polo can dress the watch down. This of course is my personal opinion

I wear my diver on bracelet under dress shirts all the time

[Nanuq]

All my divers are vintage, so they're thin and small. They hide under a shirt sleeve just fine.

Here's another classic example:

The Submariner goes easily from beach to board room to dinner party. In my opinion only gaudy, chunky divers can not go with a dress shirt and suit. And what about a black and white UPO? It certainly can go with a suit.

I was referring to the AP diver

[SSTEEL]

The AP Diver on bracelet would look more suited to a shirt cuff imo.

I read this in tapatalk, and didnt know we were in the AP area until just now.

[CokeSmurf]

Of course it can.

IMHO: SS watch, go for an SS bracelet, steer clear of any rubber straps.
Gold watch, go for a brown strap, it will always be a classic combination.
