i wore this police
i bought this the day before i flew to santorini for my wedding and i still really like it. i know police are a fashion brand but i love it because it was my wedding watch and because of that, it gets to live in my watch box with my other faves.
if i was to get married today, id probably wear my oris.
I wore my Omega Dynamic Chrono mainly because of continuity as I have owned the watch since I was 18. I'm since divorced.
Recently went to my cousin's wedding and wore my '64 pie pan hidden crown Constellation. If I get married again I will probably wear the connie though I'm undecided.
Old shape Explorer.
First time no idea some 40yrs ago she passed away in 2010 and i got married for the 2nd time in July and wore this,
he loves it
JUst kidding

I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
I wore my late father's Omega Constellation for my wedding and had my Omega Seamaster 120M in my pocket as it was my wedding present from my wife.
All i remember is it had a date, so i'd never forget it in years to come!
Well it was abroad and I took my old Sumo, come the day the big bugger wouldn't fit under my cuff with the links in. So I didn't wear anything watch wise.
This one for me...
That watch is beautiful,a proper icon. Definitely on the want list.Originally Posted by S.L
I wore a IWC Portuguese chrono with blue numerals for my wedding in Feb.
I love both: Portuguese and Santos 100. I was wearing Mark XVI- my wife gave me as a wedding gift 15min before ceremony.
1st Wedding (1968): wore a 1966 Caravelle diver.
2nd Wedding (1986): wore a 1976 Heuer Daytona.
I wore my Omega Seamaster Ti with blue wave dial.
A fairly dressy Longines I think: long since consigned to a drawer and now who knows - haven't seen it in years.
Oris Big Crown with red sunburst dial.
This one!
It was new at the time (which dates me somewhat) and I was not especially into watches but it seemed different and a cut above the average for quality.
What's more I still have it nearly 40 years on!
A gift from my wife
Picture the day after
Like several others - my Seiko Quartz Chrono which was the only working watch I had at the time - in this case a RN Pilot Series 2 - on a NATO!
Pretty sure mine was a Sewills Prima dress watch (from before Eddie took the brand over).
Still got it somewhere in NOS condition, no idea where!
This:
Long gone now though!
Breitling SuperOcean, but that was when I was a one watch guy...
With my 501 and R.M. Williams boots with cuban heel................
Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
I will be flying to Las Vegas in 11 days wearing my Blancpain Air Command for the duration. Seems suitably subtle but discerning for the tables and the wedding or pool side in my eyes.

A Seiko Kinetic and then whilst on honeymoon we stopped off in Singapore and bought ourselves a Tag each.
It was an Omega Seamaster Pro "Bond Ltd Edn'. One of these, in fact. Sold it as my taste changed.

Then on honeymoon we got a G-Shock each (hers was a Baby-G, naturally).
Another SMP, midsize, it was my wedding present on the day and first decent watch , seen below some 11 years later after a good life:
It felt special on the day and I still couldn't part with it.

Will look appropriate in the elvis chapel lol!
A chromachron, designed by Tian Harlan. My favorite watch at that time, but my tastes have changed.

"A man of little significance"
A Speedy of some description. I was unfaithful to it and trade it in for a Seamaster a year or so later. Still got the same wife, thank god.
My advice for the OP (Carl):
Wear the Zeno Explorer 1 homage that I refinished for you......but don`t blame me if you're late for the wedding because I didn`t service the movement
Best wishes...I`m sure you'll make the right choice.
In 1979, at the tender age of 21, I got married wearing a gold-plated Rotary quartz watch. The watch didn`t last long but the marriage lasted 16yrs!

Sector ADV1000 back in the day when Sector made good watches. Still have it and it still runs great.
Wore a 36mm Datejust, white dial.
Mine was a Zex - my datejust was still languishing at Bexley
perfect! That is classy..We worn these.
Thanks Paul. It seems that I wouldn't be alone in the choice either with Jimster opting for a Zex.My advice for the OP (Carl):

same model but from 65....great day and great wife.....watch is gone, wife still here!69' speedy.
Well it finally arrived and all too quickly, though everything went fantastically and I had a great day.
I got married Saturday and decided on a Stowa Marine Original on a Toshi Saddle strap plus a Mondaine pocket watch for the service.
For the evening I wore a Precista Czech Airforce on an avocado Toshi and the Mondaine pocket watch again.
Congratulations.
Sadly, I got into watches several years after I got into my wife, so to speak, so I was married in a Hugo Boss quartz item. Wife appears to be a keeper, but my taste in watches has become slightly more sophisticated, and varied.
Yes, but what watch did you wear?
It's just a matter of time...
Congratulations.
Mine was nowhere near as classy as most yours, but you may detect a theme.
Omega seamaster , had it instead of a wedding ring. Still going strong today, however has less wrist time.
