Large metal watches with tailoring.

[ClassicStyle1950]

Thank you for sharing that most personal story. To me, that's the beauty of an heirloom watch that will last from generation to generation. About a year ago my son graduated from Marine Officer Candidate School, just as I did over 30 years ago. It was the most meaningful day of my life. (And yes, I know I'm supposed to mention my wedding and the birth of my first child here, but...) I presented him with a Sea Dweller, engraved with his name, and "Marine" and the date of his graduation. It brings me great joy to think of him giving it to his son some day and maybe telling a story about his old man.

The Sea Dweller has justifiably taken a few knocks here. Fine. I like it better than the Sub because it's bigger on my large wrists. I also like the story, and the ridiculous over-engineering. No, I don't dive. But I do beat the hell out of it and use the dial as a timer almost every day. (How long have I been walking? How long has my wife been telling me about her day? Is the steak done?)

I'm a watch guy, and feel naked without one. I could never bring myself to wear an Apple Watch.

That's a neat story. Your son will appreciate that watch for the rest of his life.

Nowadays it's become quite usual to wear big sporty watches with a suit or tailoring in general, also under the influence of celebrities who sport pan-sized pieces on their wrists. Although I'm not par tout against the trend, would however use a grain of salt: if a Nautilus, a Royal Oak, a Submariner, to mention some of the most known, certainly look great with a sport coat, and don't cut a poor figure even with a suit, I would avoid any exccess in the form of gigantic watches, like any or the most of Richard Milles, Hublots and similar.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Richard Mille is the Ed Hardy of watches.

But as to this thread's purpose, why not lean the other way and wear dress watches with casual clothing? Reverso is a sports watch after all...
