Water resistance

Global warming might kill off dress watches.  This is normal weather these days.  I think a Lange saxonia could survive it but maybe not the leather strap.  But if I were wearing a journe Bleu in this weather I’d have more anxiety than wearing a Daytona in london.

By way of the Dodo bird??

Dress watches are still relevent but are they going the way of the Dodo bird in years to come? With casual dress being accepted many places where it wasn't in the past will dress watches eventually fade away? I have several that I still wear but it usuall... 

Back before sport watches, almost every watch was a dress watch that people wore for everything...within reason

So I think people will just wear their dress watches with jeans or shorts the way most do now. I wear all my watches for basically every activity that I I going to storm the Bastille I'll just put on a G-Shock.

Fashion ebbs and flows over human generations.

BTW Mr. Dollar himself Jerome Powell wears a Rolex Sub Date, and he literally can buy anything for sale with physical palettes of USA currency cash.

It depends

You never know how things go. I like dressers, so i will put them on and collect. ...  

I’ll wear a dress watch with shorts and a tee shirt.

As long you’re not wearing Teva’s you’re good in my book🙂

Until a few years ago, yellow gold was called “old fashioned” in many areas of the world and over the last two or three years or so, many manufacturers have introduced watches in that type of precious metal again. Why would this not happen to dress watche...

This is like the question of a dress code in Parliament or the US Congress

Some occasions call for more sober or formal attire. Formal watches exude classy by themselves, and when you wear one you generally feel a bit special -- if you don't then it's not a dressy enough watch, in my opinion. Cazalea ...

Disclaimer - I bought the Anderson but swapped it later for something else. I held the Chopard but after waffling for awhile learned they'd sold it to a more decisive guy. :-( The rest are mine, all mine. Mike PS I forgot this one: ...  

Timely question…

I find myself wondering if my dress pieces will be museum pieces. Like you, there are certain watches that can be worn interchangeably, with DateJust being the best example. But as I have been dressing up less and less in the work setting, I have a hard t... 

I for one think casual and business casual is here to stay.

Dress watches will always be around but maybe seen less frequently. I still do wear and enjoy the ones that I have but it would have to be a pretty special one for me to buy strictly a "dress watch". Actually most of my dress watches are of the vintage va... 

I think "dress" watches generally look fine paired with more casual wear.

For me personally, the exception might be when it comes to a strap with a YG or RG case. On the other hand, a YG or RG bracelet I may be more inclined to pair with casual wear. That's just me.
