What to wear:<\/strong>\u00a0A simple dress watch. A watch with too much bling may seem like a cry for attention, while a watch that\u2019s too sporty may signal that you\u2019re more interested in your toys.<\/p>\n

We recommend:<\/strong>\u00a0A\u00a0Rolex Air King<\/a> or Omega de Ville<\/a><\/p>\n

What it says:\u00a0<\/strong>The Rolex Air King<\/a> is a purist\u2019s Rolex \u2013 it has everything that makes a Rolex a Rolex, but with a clean, classic look that goes with a variety of outfits. The Omega De Ville is another reasonably-priced watch that goes well with any dress situation. Both show that you wear the watch because you value precision and craftsmanship, and not to show off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
