[Discussion] Which type of watch would you wear & when (alien.top)

I'm starting to build a small collection & am interested in views as to when the appropriate time & place would be to wear the following potential parts of a collection:

- Dress watch such as a vintage Omega

- Modern Longines quartz Grande Classique (I know this may not be an obvious addition - but I already have this one)

- Rolex Explorer I

- Chronograph watch such as a Junghans Max Bill or Omega Speedmaster

- Dive watch such as Tudor FXD, Submariner or Omega Seamaster

Is there anything that would be missing from this set

White Tie/Black Tie: technically not supposed to wear a watch, period, but a dress watch like a JLC or Tank is OK (unless you have a Seamaster 300M...with a garrote in the crown...)

Business Formal: Dress Watch, really anything on leather

Business Casual: Bracelets are good to go, so divers, explorer, chronographs, plus anything above

Smart Casual: Sport Watches are actually preferred

Relaxed Casual: whatever you want
