Post subject: | Watch and French Cuff? |
I'm just wondering, do people generally wear watches if they're also wearing french cuffs and cuff links? None of my watches feel or look right when I wear them with french cuffs. |

I always wear French cuffs with a suit, and always wear a watch, but generally a more dressy one. I actually have my shirts cut slightly larger on the left wrist to accommodate a watch. |

I do, but I actually wear a slim Raymond Weil Parsifal with that setup. It seems to fit the best to me with that combo. |

Why not??? All of these slide easily under the cuff when needed. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I buy off the rack and only occasionally wear French cuffs, but when I do it's simply a thinner watch. No way will my Headwind or Aquatimer work with my 7 3/4 inch wrist or the thickness of the watch, but a thinner dress watch works. I wear either my vintage Accutron or my cheapie Jacques LeMans square watch on mesh. Unless you have really small cuffs or a really big wrist, I would think your Datejust would work. My old Datejust would fit under any sleeve. |

The datejust would certainly work better than the navitimer world, but it gets stuck againstthe edge of the cuff; I have to lift the cuff and drag it over the watch to get the watch under the cuff. I'm surprised that Wessa can get his Navi (admittedly, I know it's smaller than my world) under his cuff. |

The biggest concern I have when wearing cufflinks is not scratching the bracelet (or case) on the metal connecting part of the cufflink! ![]() ![]() |

I actually have my shirts cut slightly larger on the left wrist to accommodate a watch. I only wear french cuffs as well with my suits, but I opt for the Super Avenger as my daily wearer. I buy shirts off the rack however and haven't run into any issues surprisingly enough with the thickness of the SA. ![]() |

lol, it's sad Wessa when I'm scrolling through your pics going "but where is the hot tap cufflink?!?!... ahhh there it is, all is right again" ![]() perhaps we should have a "guess who's wrist" comp?... definitely a few out there I'd recognise! |

I wear regular cuffs more often than French. But when I wear French, I still wear my Breitlings just like any other day. Typically, though, when I dress up for style, I wear my Chronomat and not my Airwolf. Sometimes wear my family Omega heirloom, which is slimmer. But I don't mind the big chunky Chronomat, regardless of the cuff. |

Since I last wrote in this thread, I sold the Navi World to fund a Navi 01. I am very happy to report that the 01 slips right under the french cuff! |
