Wedding attire etiquette

We have a wedding we are going to in 2 weeks time shoes are polished trousers ready along with shirt and dicky bow and also a waistcoat . Here is the problem I have .. I wish to wear a pocket watch in my waistcoat now do I also wear a watch or do I just wear the pocket watch .

Off to ebay now as I need to buy a chain for the pocket watch

just the pocket watch IMO.unless you want to look very eccentric

I was thinking it was a good opertunity to wear the yellow fellow as well as the pocket watch



another good thing is the wedding is in a hotel not too far from where we live but as a treat to ourselves we have booked in to stop overnight so I can take another watch to wear when we go for our full english breakfast next day

stuff the watches and the wedding.....just go straight for the full english

thats a bit dangerous

Go for both why not then if anyone's asked why you have both you have a great excuse to talk about watches

I would go for both too. Taking a pocket watch out to check the time is ok but sometimes it's handy to be able to glance at a wrist watch as well. 

I think I will probably end up going for both after all if something is to be done it must be done with style

you could always set the pocket watch to New York time and say you need to keep up with the Stock exchange

For what it's worth, I'd probably go with both. Perhaps get one on each wrist
