Re: Seamaster: Tool or art watch?

One of the reasons why I'm opting for the Seamaster mid sized chronograph instead of the full sized is so that I can wear it everyday to work without it appearing too gaudy/showy. My wrists are pretty small too.

A guy at work has a Rolex Submariner and it's size just looks too big for an everyday watch. That's just my opinion...

: Well... I, for one, also wear my Seamaster Pro in EVERY one of
: those situations too. In fact, it looks great with my tux.

: (For the record, I haven't had a chance to go diving yet, but
: I probably would wear it on a dive if I happenned to bring
: it on the trip. Choices, choices...)

: The only time that I would consider allowing my clothes to
: dictate my choice of watch is when I'm wearing formal
: attire... my sense of style will not allow me to wear the
: 10 y.o. Timex Triathalon, or the 7 y.o. Swatch. Other than
: that, all the other watches are completely interchangeable
: in terms of clothing versus watch. (Okay, no blue faces
: with brown shirts either!) Your own sense of style should
: be the only reason you choose to wear one watch over
: another. After all, we buy and wear all our watches for
: ourselves, right? Who cares if the world thinks that my
: watch is too dressy for my jeans? Wearing the Seamaster
: makes me feel good on any given day.

: Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for the New Year!
