I’m starting to build a small collection & am interested in views as to when the appropriate time & place would be to wear the following potential parts of a collection:
- Dress watch such as a vintage Omega
- Modern Longines quartz Grande Classique (I know this may not be an obvious addition - but I already have this one)
- Rolex Explorer I
- Chronograph watch such as a Junghans Max Bill or Omega Speedmaster
- Dive watch such as Tudor FXD, Submariner or Omega Seamaster
Is there anything that would be missing from this set
White Tie/Black Tie: technically not supposed to wear a watch, period, but a dress watch like a JLC or Tank is OK (unless you have a Seamaster 300M…with a garrote in the crown…)
Business Formal: Dress Watch, really anything on leather
Business Casual: Bracelets are good to go, so divers, explorer, chronographs, plus anything above
Smart Casual: Sport Watches are actually preferred
Relaxed Casual: whatever you want
