Haven't been around for a while -- but thought this was a TRF sort of topic.

Had never owned jewelry besides a watch, although I'd seen a lot of guys wearing bracelets, necklaces, etc. Last week, I received a david yurman black rubber bracelet with silver clasp as a gift. I started wearing it and found it to be a fun accessory.

Today I picked up a woven leather bracelet from bottega veneta, which is great as well.

Don't think I would wear a gold or diamond bracelet, but dark leather or rubber I'm okay with.

Any bracelet wearers here? Or anyone with an opinion on this?

lguevara91 · 30 May 2018, 06:17 AM

I wear a james avery gold fisherman's bracelet on the right with a dark brown woven leather bracelet and a rolex on the left everyday! I like wearing bracelets on the same wrist next to my watch as well but am very picky with the material as to not scratch my watch more than i already do lol

My avatar has me wearing my AK with a wood bead bracelet on the same wrist

I've had a few over the years, I wear them for a time, tire of them and move on. I think the longest I've worn a bracelet has been a few months. They can be distracting while working out, and taking them off an on can be a pain.

datejustrms · 30 May 2018, 06:19 AM

If you enjoy wearing bracelets go for it. Personally, I wear my watch and wedding band only.

droptopman · 30 May 2018, 06:27 AM

I wore a YG chain bracelet for years (right arm), but stopped about 12 years ago. Not sure why, maybe because I wear more SS watches the last decade or so.

They look good on some people and can be a nice accessory.

Blansky · 30 May 2018, 06:34 AM

Yup.

I wear a couple.

Art 1 · 30 May 2018, 06:39 AM

No way

cop414 · 30 May 2018, 06:53 AM

Generally not but sometimes I’ll wear a Col Littleton like this or a POW/MIA bracelet but always on the opposite wrist.

Thanks Tim! As is the case with all of these, at 9 inches long I’m afraid it wouldn’t fit right on my 6.5 in wrist. Thanks!

That's cool, I might have to get one!

watchmework · 30 May 2018, 06:53 AM

I wear a bracelet every now and then but on the opposite wrist that I wear my watch.

joli160 · 30 May 2018, 06:55 AM

Only a watch for me

Abdullah71601 · 30 May 2018, 07:00 AM

I wear an oyster bracelet with a watch head attached to it every day, but have never been into the purely ornamental variety.

chieftd · 30 May 2018, 07:22 AM

I have worn a gold bracelet, opposite arm of the watch, of one style or another for over 35 years. I'm a fan of gold jewelry and have a few rings as well. My current bracelet is a curb link design in 18K gold.

superdog · 30 May 2018, 07:23 AM

Ive tried it.

It never lasts more than a few hours.

My dad wears a yellow gold bracelet alongside his yellow gold DD2.

Rebel · 30 May 2018, 07:26 AM

I have a leather bracelet. Wear it every now and again.

breitlings · 30 May 2018, 07:50 AM

brought up to only wear a watch and cufflinks as jewelry (with a wedding ring). I added to that my cross on a necklace as I grew in my faith. I do have a few s.t. dupont pens and lighters.

brandrea · 30 May 2018, 08:11 AM

I’m strictly a watch guy

PLNYC · 30 May 2018, 08:18 AM

I’ve tried a bracelet on the opposite wrist but I didn’t like it

GradyPhilpott · 30 May 2018, 08:30 AM

I wear a KIA bracelet in memory of a good friend.

TRM · 30 May 2018, 09:38 AM

I have several and alternate as the mood strikes. I never wear one on the same wrist as my watch however. I read an article recently that said if a man is going to wear a bracelet it should be only one, don't stack them and end up looking like Johnny Depp. Seems to be a good rule to follow.

Dyim · 30 May 2018, 09:53 AM

Watch and wedding ring only.

Limestonedan · 30 May 2018, 10:07 AM

I occasionally wear a Speedometer on the opposite wrist. It works well with the DeepSea D-Blue. I've received lots of compliments about it and not the watch!

Can you post a link to where you got it?

There are Speedometer distributors in the US/International. I searched and found a US Jeweler/dealer. Be careful as there are fakes claiming to be Speedometer and cheaper versions on the market. A good indication is the price point. Buy from a reputable retailer. They come with certification of Authenticity etc.

Here's a link to the Speedometer website: http://speedometerofficial.it/en/

Company Distributor USA:
Kenro Industries Inc.
393 Jericho Turnpike
2nd Floor
Mineola, NY 11501

Hope this helps.

Does bracelet leave scratches on your deepsea if you wear it on the same wrist?

I never wear it on the same wrist as D-Blue for the reasons you mention above.
