markiemark Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theknowledge Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 First of all I would think there are some divers you could get away with that being said rubber is not worn for dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt666tm Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apcollector Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Diving watches are for diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnb Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I wear my diver on bracelet under dress shirts all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 All my divers are vintage, so they're thin and small. They hide under a shirt sleeve just fine.Here's another classic example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 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.

SSTEEL Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 The AP Diver on bracelet would look more suited to a shirt cuff imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CokeSmurf Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
