Thread: Speaking of Tuxes...

    Speaking of Tuxes...

    Mrs. Cor and I are going to a charity gala in a week or two, for which I must dust off my tux. Leaving aside the axiom that wearing a watch at all with a tux is gauche, what should I wear? Here are my possibilities:'

    The obvious choice:

    Name:  Credor wrist 8.jpg

    Has a date, but good color match for a tux:

    Name:  Zenith Elite November 2015 Small 3.jpg
Views: 67
Size:  356.9 KB

    Another subtle choice:

    Name:  Omiwatari wrist 1.jpg
Views: 70
Size:  389.2 KB

    Dark horse choice:

    Name:  Malvern August 2017.JPG

    There are a couple others that might work, but those seem like the main options.

    Have at it.

    My favorite of the bunch is the Zenith, despite the date, but come on, mate. You know it and I know it. It’s the Credor. Wear the Credor.

    I mean, the dial on your GS is crinkled, you should send it back to them to have it smoothed out, and the ChrWARD appears to be purple, which really only works if you’re wearing a purple jacket and/or trying to kill the Batman using comedy-based villainy. Say whatever you want about the Credor, but that dial is smooth and not purple.

    Yeah, gotta agree with Raza: Credor (although the humor is that Raza makes it clear he doesn't like it... his problem not yours...)
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Oh, @Raza’s views on the Credor are an ongoing joke between the two of us. Just like my view of those strange, square, pointy things he calls watches that he has.

    Bond would choose the English watch. Ooor a rolex. Or an omega. So, the Christopher ward.

    Only because he had never heard of or seen a Credor.

    I figured he just wore whatever company paid for the product placement.
