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.
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.
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.

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!! 😮😮
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.

Railmaster…Omega Railmaster
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

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.

Mine don't.
End discussion.
Here is mine under the cuff
Depends more on the shirt than the watch.

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.

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! 🤣
