Hi all
I have posted various watches on this forum that I own. Have shared with you my 2.0 carat Renato, my Technomarine in black ceramic, my Omega constellation (mens), my Swiss Legend Karamica and my Invicta Diamond Speedway with 1.80 ct of diamonds.

Here is my dilemma.......I have to attend an evening function Thanksgiving weekend. (not black tie). What to pick? I thought I would like to wear my Renato, but someone thought maybe the red alligator strap was too sporty, which leaves my Speedway. What do you think? I will be traveling and don't want to carry excess jewelry. Many thanks all. BTW, the Renato is 35mm, while the Speedway Diamond is 31mm with rhodium finish.
Thanks

I think the one with the diamonds will be fine, unless your attire will be all frilly girly dainty - then the watch would look too big (JMO). If that was hte case, I would just not wear a watch.

I think the Renato would be perfect b/c the strap is alligator as opposed to metal which seem to make the diamonds bling just a tad bit more. We seem to have the same taste in watches. I am drooling over that Renato and i've decided to get the orange and brown one for Xmas. I just ordered my 2nd Invicta today. Anywho, you'll look fab either way

Off topic - but I had to tell you that staring at your Renatos has really made me fall for this brand. In fact, I have the SS diamond wildebeast as the #1 item on my xmas wishlist right now.

Thanks for the new addiction :sweatdrop:

Watches are my guilty pleasure! Renatos are one of my weaknesses! I only wish that I could have captured the Sapphire properly, because it is also a gorgeous watch. The diamonds and watch crystal dazzle. Renato now has the 1.0 carat in the Sapphire which is the black.

I love all of the above watches and have worn them to work, just to be able to wear them more. Not that I think one should wear 2 ct watches to work. It's funny that I knew exactly what I wear in terms of my outfits, but found myself worrying about the watch! What a pity that humans only have 2 arms lol.
Thanks for all your help!

-Wasn't there a dumb (IMO) fad a few years ago to wear more than one watch at a time, I believe on the same arm? I remember seeing photos and thinking WTF?
