Well, I'm required to wear long-sleeved dress shirts (and a tie) to work, so I have found that a lot of "sport" watches are too big to fit nicely within my cuff. Plus, a lot of "sport" watches look out of place in dress clothes - - kinda like the latest running shoes below a pair of pleated khakis. As many of you know, my solution has been to wear retro (vintage) dress watches that have survived the many decades since they were first made. Plus, the gold (usually solid) is a nice match for my plain gold wedding band. Just one example: this solid 14 carat gold Hamilton was crafted in 1948, the year after I was born! It still looks almost new (especially compared to ME!). The 19-jewel movement is a work of art, too - - Geneva stripes and all!
