" The Watcher is Esquire&amp;#039;s watch expert, an obsessive whose entire life consists of little more than looking at, wearing, and thinking about high-end watches. He will be taking questions on horology from Esquire readers on any subject. Except quartz watches. He considers that subject taboo.  Dear Watcher, I am getting married next month and would like to get my husband-to-be an elite watch for the event. (He is allergic to rings, which give him a skin rash.) I am thinking about a Rolex Submariner, which I am told is the ultimate man&amp;#039;s sports watch. He is very active and I am thinking this would be a great everyday watch for him. What do you think? \u2014Lisa, Geneva NY Lisa, First let me say that your husband-to-be is clearly a genius. Any man that can convince his fiance\u00E9 that he is allergic to wedding rings deserves to be in the bad husband Hall of Fame. That said, getting him a Submariner is just a bad idea. Not because the Submariner is a bad watch; on the contrary, it&amp;#039;s one of the icons of the watch world, the once and future dive watch. But a man needs to pick his own everyday watch; it&amp;#039;s one of the few ways he can tell the world, and himself, who he is. So I would suggest gifting him a dress watch. Chances are you want him to look elegant on special occasions, and a dress watch is something few guys would buy for themselves. A dress watch needs to be thin, it needs to be simple (not even a date) and it should be a precious metal, because it&amp;#039;s an heirloom piece he will want to pass on your kids. I would look at a Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin in rose gold, which to me is the ultimate express of understated class on the market. If you want something a little fancier and more old-world, I would look at a Breuget Classique, which like JLC has a flawless pedigree, a long history, and a virtuoso movement made entirely in-house, which is the real mark of all luxury watches.
