Residency Interview Suits and Watches

[username456789]

And what is specifically wrong with wearing notch lapels on tuxes or bluchers with suits?

The same thing that is wrong with wearing a casual sport/diving watch with a suit.

Also, to be correct, wearing a tux is the one time where NO WATCH is most appropriate. The idea is that if you're at an event where a tux is indicated, it is an occasion during which you should be focused on enjoying the regality and not worrying about the time.

I would also add that arguing that notch lapels belong on tuxes or that casual metal watches belong with suits is the sartorial equivalent of arguing that literature and scientific journal articles should be written in text speak simply because many young people communicate that way today.

What? Obviously a Timex Ironman Watch (casual/diving) is inappropriate with a suit. They OBVIOUSLY don't go together at all.

Please tell me you're kidding about bolded.

There's a huge difference in writing in complete sentences and writing in AIM chat - OMG, LOL, brb, ROTFL, A/S/L, etc.

Of course not. Educate yo'self.

If you want to purposely deviate from what is considered standard and appropriate, I won't stop you or anyone else. But don't do so under the false premise that what you're doing is more correct.

Exactly my point.

 

[fancymylotus]

Someone's been reading too much Emily Post

 

[DermViser]

Exactly my point.

I'm saying that it's not on the same plane as the 2 examples above in terms of an actual difference. Also a metal watch is not a diving watch.

 

[username456789]

Also a metal watch is not a diving watch.

All metal watches are not dive watches. Many dive watches are metal watches.

 

[DermViser]

All metal watches are not dive watches. Many dive watches are metal watches.

You can dive into water with any watch that you want to as well. Hardly makes a fully metal watch somehow unfashionable.

I can't tell if you're trolling now.

You do know that a "dive/diving watch" is a thing, right? And that most people don't wear them to dive?

Being "fashionable" is all about context. I love many varieties of casual metal/dive watches. And they can look great. Just not appropriate for more formal attire.

I don't see how classifying a metal watch as "diving" makes it somehow unfashionable vs. a Timex Ironman watch which is obviously unfashionable with formal wear.
There are many Rolex metal watches that would hardly be classified as "dive" watches.

he's referring as watches that are classically considered "dive" watches; namely the rolex submariner and possibly the omega seamaster professional and the likes. the trend over the years has been to transition from the diving arena to the professional and formal settings, which @GuyWhoDoesStuff takes offense with.

So bc the purpose of the watch has changed that makes the watch ugly or unfashionable looking with formal wear? Why not evaluate whether the watch looks ugly with formal wear? It seems like so-called fashion is do the opposite of what is intuitive and call that fashionable and everything else unfashionable.

@FIREitUP, you're correct, the picture I posted above was the Omega seamaster watch:

And I don't see how that watch does not go well with that tux in terms of how it looks. Unless we're going to call it a diving watch and make it a rule that it doesn't go with formal wear.

Like I said before, I feel like there are way bigger issues amongst interviewees in terms of fashion mistakes than watch bands. What do you think an interviewer will notice? A horridly fitted suit? OR THE COLOR OF YOUR WATCH BAND?

I'm gonna start posting pix of the stuff I see walking around my hospital.

 

[DermViser]

I agree with his scientific journal post. It would be ridiculous to write a scientific journal article in IM speak.

 

[FIREitUP]

I know this guy looks like a total fool wearing a metal band on his watch:

by the way, this is a rolex submariner, not an omega seamaster planet ocean...odd since daniel craig bond is an omega bond

It's not the color. It's the material -- leather vs. metal. Just like a peak vs. notch lapel. Completely inane.

dude..look at the watch he's wearing. it's a rolex submariner 100%. the hour markers at 12 and 6 are dead giveaways

This is a very slippery slope. The game has not changed, the players are just younger and ill-informed.

Ignorance is not an excuse.

Yes, and it annoys me to no end. It's one thing if it actually looks ugly or unfashionable. But when you're splitting hairs this small, where it's more just personal preference, without regard as to WHY it's unfashionable, then it's crazy.

dude, you're wrong. the 12 hour marker is a triangle, it's not a seamaster; someone not affiliated with omega made that picture with the planet ocean, not omega. i would bet money on it.

So the OmegaWatches people themselves are wrong and are misattributing their watch to 007?

This is pretty hilarious if you knew me in real life.

I'm absolutely not, nor do I profess to be, particularly "cultured." Hell, I grew up in small hicktown, USA.

But when it comes to dressing well, there are many conventions out there that are not rocket science. We all pick and choose to some degree (I think opera pumps with a tux look silly even though it's more correct), but things are classic for a reason, and I'm not the one who made the rules.

For the love of all that is holy, Omega Watches website has their watch as the 007 watch worn by that actor: http://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/bond/bond-limited-editions

Works of art, of course, always have a unique provenance and narrative behind them and similarly watch collectors like their timepieces to be that little bit special, to have a back-story, a personality, a connection that makes them stand out from the crowd. In 2008, for example, the OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale fetched, after fevered bidding, more than a quarter of a million dollars. But who wouldn’t bet on that being easily bettered if it ever came back onto the market?

I'm not arguing that at all, I know omega has the 007 rights. Just look at the watch in that picture that is on his wrist. it is not an omega. you can almost see the words "superlative chronometer officially certified"; it's a rolex submariner. the picture you posted is not from the omega website. someone used that picture and superimposed it with a picture of a planet ocean.

It's a Rolex Sub in the original image you posted. Clear as day. Bond has worn the Sub in the past.
