I have a need to wear tuxedos and white tie a few times a year. It has always been my understanding that with white tie and tails it is considered a faux pas to wear a wrist watch. Do any gents have experience with wearing pocket watches while wearing a waist coat? If so would love to see some examples!

It took me about three months after buying my first luxury watch for me to understand that it’s a watch and it’s made to wear not just look at. How long did it take everyone else to realize that?

I only have five watches so far. Looking to add more, but funds are limited. Also I forget the models of these. If anyone can help, that would be appreciated. Orient- My daily wear watch. It's also my first and thus far only automatic watch. Timex Ironman 30 lap- I wear this one when working out as well as professionally. I work in the medical field and having something easy to clean is a bonus. Also having it on a 24 hour clock helps with documentation. Citizen Eco-Drive- My second daily wear watch. I got it as a 10 year gift from my employer. Bulova- My wife gave me this one as an anniversary gift before we sailed on the "Queen Mary 2." It's my go to dress watch of course. Vincero- I bought this due to them being promoted on RMRS awhile back. I only learned about fashion watches later.

Mine was actually Smart watches, while I detest them now they were my gateway into this addiction. Despite my dislike I often do wear smart watches as I sell few different brands. What was your introduction? Anyone have a watch they dislike but feel they need to wear?

This was an anniversary gift from my wife a couple years ago. It is a compass and sundial. Her reason for getting it for me was the compass will always guide us in the right direction together for all of time.
