TeeJay Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 For those situations where you're not trying to look totally flash and smart, but have to look 'presentable', what would be the best watch/combination (ie watch and ss/leather/NATO etc) Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I'm no expert, but I'm sure many would agree...SMP or something less flashy still Ingy maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Thanks for the responses. I've just had a quick idea and knocked it up on photoshop... Would this fit people's idea of 'Smart/Casual'? If people saw someone in jeans and a button down shirt (or even a polo shirt) with casual shoes, would this be considered an appropriate watch?

TeeJay Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Thanks again for the suggestions Another criteria I should've mentioned, was it can't look 'too expensive', which was one reason I thought of the X-33 (because everyone knows digital watches are cheap ) What do people think of the concept I mocked up? Would that be passable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkerouac Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 SMP, just about any Pam that doesn't have a bulky bezel, IWC GST, or IWC Inge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedo Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Just got a Pam 113, and given it is a white dial, it looks quite classy. Any time a chrono would be inappropriate this is the watch to wear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 SMP would be my vote, as well. I would send it in for AR treatment, though. I don't care if it has single side on the gen, I would get it double-sided. It makes Omegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 i would go for the iwc pilot's watch (3717). might look more expensive than you would prefer, though.... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks again for the continued suggestions I'm seeing a lot of suggestions for the SMP, and that's something I have on order, however, I think it might still look a bit too expensive for what I had in mind... Any comments at all on the X-33? How do people think it looks mocked up on the leather strap? Would it look better on the double-ridged rubber deployant strap? I've decided to definitely get one, but wasn't too keen on the stock bracelet... When I was younger, I wanted to be an astronaut (didn't actually wind up being one ) so an astronaut's watch would certainly be a fitting tribute to that dream...

Sylar Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I like to wear either my Rose Gold FA Jones or my Ratrapante. I have been favoring the Panda lately with day long sleeves and suits. IWC pilot is my choice when i am wearing jeans a nice polo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people saw someone in jeans and a button down shirt (or even a polo shirt) with casual shoes, would this be considered an appropriate watch? I am in fact a fan of the X-33, but not on that strap.. It looks too cheap. The stock Ti-bracelet is not as well made as on other Omegas, but it fits well with the style of the watch. Other nice choices for smart/casual is the regular Tag Heuers.. Link or Link GMT, they would be considered a bit cheaper than the Seamaster Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobs1971 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 It depends on your style, but 'representable' to me means no SS bracelet. In situations like that I would go for a PAM111 or 183. Maybe the BCE or IWC Pilot/Spitfire on croq. edit: but for the look of a video store clerk I would go for a nice gen quartz Seiko or Tissot. All the reps we have on this forum look all a bit expensive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
