Re: Seamaster "Bond" model appearance

GQ's "Style Guy" says that a sports watch should not be worn with a suit or for any formal occasion. The Bond Seamaster fits into that category since it is technically a diver's watch. He also said that he's a bit of a traditionalist in that sense, and that many people today do ignore this rule. I mean, why can't you wear a $1750 Omega Seamaster with a suit that probably cost less than the watch?

I have worn my Bond Seamaster with suits on many occasions, and I have never received anything but compliments on the watch. If people can wear novelty ties depicting their favorite football team, I see no reason why one can't wear a very classy watch, even if it does technically fall into the "sports watch" category.

FYI...The Style Guy did say that one of the benefits of a watch like this is that it is so versatile. It can be worn with dress casual clothes or with jeans and a t-shirt.
