[Question] Dress Watch with Streetwear (alien.top)

My dad gave me his dads watch. It’s an older watch but it’s definitely on the more dressy side.

Most of my attire is graphic tshirts and baggy pants. Is it foul play or faux pas to wear my watch with this attire?

My first instinct would be 'no' - the standard fare would be something more along the lines of a GShock, chunky diver or similar piece.

But it actually choice down more to how you accessories around it and pull it off - a big diamond encrusted watch well probably looks a bit odd in isolation, but add a matching chain and suddenly it becomes a coordinated style. I would hazard that a dressy watch will do exactly the same - odd in isolation, but a cool statement when planned.

There is also of course the other thing to consider - how much do you care what others think? If you think it looks cool, then go for it.
