Just a little peek.

All my watches have to be tuck-able under the cuff. Discuss.

I still own a closet full of dress shirts that feature two buttons on each cuff allowing a tighter and looser fit over my watches, so when I needed to wear more formal attire, even bulky watches were no issue. However I see your point for slipping under the cuff of a shirt.

Did you ever hear The Tragedy of Chad, Destroyer Of The Cuff? I thought not. It's not a story the Horologists would tell you. It's a Cruncher legend.

·

It's debatable if this is necessary if like me you live in country with 330 days of sunshine and a more casual attitude toward dress code.

·

Mine don't. Sorry I don't have to wear a cuff. It looks pretty good under the cuff though.

·

Umm, I wear t-shirts.

Is that a quadruple pass NATO? 😉

Both of these would work for you then! 😎🫣🤏🏻

This picture reminds me of the Transformers watch I used to own as a kid.

You can put any watch under the cuff if you don't button your cuff

The only watches in my collection that don't fit under the cuff are my Invicta Hydromax, which are homages to the Rolex Deep Sea Challenge. (Hydromax review.)

I don't even wear these things, they're just conversation pieces.

I have no idea. Looks like some Velcro job. I just pulled the photo from the net.

I don't buy watches over 12mm thick. I might relax that to sub-13mm for an automatic chronograph but probably not.

This reminds me of an old story about Jackie Stewart. In the 1960s, Jackie, who was driving in Formula 1 at the time, got a Rolex sponsorship. He reportedly had his left sleeves tailored wider and shorter so he could better display his sponsor's watches!

It's rare my cuffs are so tight that a watch doesn't fit easily. If they are, then my shirt is probably a little too snug elsewhere too! Based on the jazzy socks and blue jeans, I don't think you will struggle with tight cuff syndrome.

I would also highlight that straps and bracelets take up valuable space within the cuff. I tend to find most watches on a thin leather strap will slip under the cuff without issue - even a chonks like Tudor Pelagos or BB GMTs.

Mine don't.

End discussion.

Depends more on the shirt than the watch.

LOL 😜🤣 Hydromaxes are that big?!? I have been meaning to get one, and I knew they were bulky, but until now, I had no idea just HOW bulky!! 😮😮

That said, I am still going to get one! 😎

·

I have an 8" wrist, and I own an Invicta Sub-Aqua, which is 15.9mm thick, and it still fits under my cuff. This is a video that I made.

Excellent! The Modern Seamaster Railmaster is exactly the Go Anywhere Do Anything as that Explorer. So yup, it must fit under the cuff.

Yea my work and play mode of dress is typically jeans and a button down shirt. My watches lean towards thin and dressy, I don’t own any divers or chronographs.

Take the plunge, @triflic !! You might like it!

They are monstrous! You have a bigger wrist than I, so you might be able to wear one.

The Hydromax is 29.5mm thick, so almost double your Sub-Aqua! 🤣
