There is a horological question of form and function
Salamanca,
You questioned what is the horological merit of this thread.
I think it is an appropriate discussion because watches today are considered by some to be "accessories that happen to tell time". I don't subscribe to this but in fairness, I have to relate it here.
We are surrounded by timekeepers for time signals e.g. mobile phones, computer screens, car dashboards, microwave ovens, etc. Even my toothbrush has a time display!
Thus, our watches, especially for men are the only precious accessory that we can change to match our apparel and shoes.
You have to admit that the task posed by psychotic was a difficult one: What watch could match a purple shirt, yellow tie and dress shoes? 
Anyway, this thread allows all of us to have a bit of horological fun to post our suggestions. For you, I sense a need for this bit of horology....
Regards
MTF
Slave to Fashion
More and more, I find myself buying clothes to match my watch collection. I remember how I used to slap on a pair of jeans and a T without giving any thought to how I looked and walking out the door. Now I am quite conscious as to which watch I pair my wa...
It depends on what work and who you are
psychotic It depends on your job and where you are on the organisation chart. :-) This chap could wear anything and pull off sartorial elegance..... His watches can even be made from dinosaur poo, meteorites, volcanic ash, moon dust, and the same steel or...
A very fair and informative response
My job is very pedestrian, MTF. In fact, I can openly wear Pateks to work and nobody would look at it twice. Not because Pateks are pedestrian to my colleagues, but because they don't know the difference between a Patek and a Casio!! With the exception of...

Oh my gawd!
Are those cufflinks for the Patek Sky Moon?! *drool* Thanks for coming to my defence. And I do agree with your take that compared to our better halves, all we men have are watches and shoes to complement our daily wear. And I do have fun with all my timep...
I wonder if they throw in the cuff links for free?
If you can buy a Patek Philippe Sky Moon, do you think they throw in the cufflinks for free? :-) Should they? Regards, MTF PS. What did you think of the second lot of watch suggestions I gave?
Here is my suggestion
Change the name of HOrological MEandering "HOME" to WAtch MEandering "WAME".
That's fine, but be sure you don't buy watches to match your clothes.
Priorities must be in order.
I'll second that
Though I might be guilty of letting my wardrobe influence my decision if I'm sitting on the fence between 2 pieces. But good thing my love for blue-dialed watches match my usual habit of throwing on a comfortable pair of blue jeans and T.
