Suitability of wearing Aquatimer for office work.

...and with a great deal of style I might add! LOL!

I decided to wear my Aquatimer to the office today and it seems to have had an effect - a couple of new snorkels that I had been waiting on to be delivered for the last week or so turned up - very appropriate :)

Perfect timing for this posting.

A couple of weeks ago, I took a suit in to a high-end mens store near me for some tailoring. After I was fitted for alterations, the gentleman who prepared my pick-up ticket was dressed as follows:

*Armani Grey/Black "Nailhead" suit

*French cuff white shirt

*Black Tie with muted design

In my mind this attire would call for a dressier watch. But to my surprise, when he started to write out my ticket his wrist became exposed and was wrapped with a AT white dial on black rubber strap.

Now I recently acquired this piece of "Rock Candy" and use it strictly as a sporty look. I was however blown away by how good it looked with that guys suit. While this was not a corporate environment setting, none the less it worked well ..really well !!

I now view pairing up an AT with a dressy look when done with the right color mix. Of course I complemented him on his fine taste in suits and his IWC choice. He laughed and told me he wears it all the time at work and his co-workers are always asking to "borrow" it. I said ,"Do you let them?" He replied, "They can borrow my suit... but not my watch !! ".

I think, the Aquatimer in Redgold might be a good compromise for all opportunities.

i agree with most people on here i also have the galapgos at watch . The days i don't wear a suit to work i am very happy to wear my at. When i wear a suit to work i find my self wearing a more dressy watch. Good luck

I wear a suit and tie and all my shirts have French cuffs and I find the AT doesn't fit under my shirt cuffs, so wear my da Vinci or portofino which I think looks classier in a suit.

I only wear my Aquatimer on casual Fridays. It doesn't really go with a suit and tie!

I would suggest taking Michael's advice to heart, at least in the early stages of your career. It can be good to standout, but by reason of knowledge, skill, and accomplishments -- not manner of dress.

If you've established yourself, you can then have somewhat more leeway.
