Anyone else wear a tennis bracelet with Rolex?

I'm wondering if I'm the only guy on here. I'm guessing some of the wives do ... decided to do something different.

Yes, I wear two tennis bracelets and a cuban bracelet, but not on the same wrist as my watch.

I'm not trolling. There are all kinds of people and all kinds of threads on here. I've been under the impression there is room for everybody as long as we're polite to each other. :)

Ok, fair enough. Serious question, then, since the pic only shows your wrist. Do you wear women's clothing also? (Not saying there's anything wrong with that.) Just trying to understand the context here.

Wow. Cmon man. I don’t like the style myself either but jeez! You act like you saw his nails painted pink or something. It’s just a bracelet. Reminds me of Chandler from Friends when Joey bought him a bracelet.

I agree...asking if he does drag *is* trolling and not polite. You don’t have to chime in on a thread, I read multi-page threads from start to finish without commenting, because I learn so much.

As to the look, it’s all up to you, OP. I work in tech in the Bay Area and many many guys wear bracelets with their (often) pie-pan sized watches : )

For me, I’d not want to risk scratching my watch, but if I found a leather band or something, I’d wear it. It looks cool, I think.

Bottom line, if this helps you enjoy your exquisite machine on you ur wrist, go for it!

Once in a while I might try on a thin leather strap but not really my style

I think it's a reasonable question....and shouldn't be taken as an insult. Asking out of genuine curiosity.

Yes!! This ^ We all love Rolex, right? at the end of the day that's all that matters, mutual appreciation of the brand.

A bit too feminine for me, but if you've got the confidence and the desire for that look then more power to ya!

Aesthetically I think the bracelet would go much better with a white gold or platinum watch.

And, of course, a shaved wrist.

Agree. To me the silver and gold clashes. If you like the tennis bracelet look I’d go for a steel/white gold/platinum watch.

I wouldn't wear anything next to my watch because I wouldn't want it marked up in anyway. Accidents happen, I get that, but to put it in a situation where it's a certainty is something I wouldn't do.

I'm not a fan of bling but if it blows your skirt up, you knock yourself out.

I think the watch looks great but I would not be brave enough to wear it. My wife would adore it.
Wear it with pride, congratulations.

All jokes aside if you guys think one tennis bracelet is out of control I dare you to go on Instagram and take a look at the hip hop community ...7,8,9 maybe 10 bracelets each wrist 4-5ct studs in each ear ...kilo Cuban link chains...Pateks with so many poorly set aftermarket diamonds you might vomit in your lap....see it every day.

This is quite a bit different than someone dressed out in $100k of earrings and bracelets.


OP: If you like to wear it, wear it. However, a yellow-gold watch with a white-gold bracelet is not good. "Clashing" is an understatement.

Nice watch and bracelet. If it makes you happy wear it with pride I know a lot wear other jewellery on the same wrist as a watch but that's not got me. I'm far too ocd about them damaging each other. For me my watch is the only piece of jewellery I wear, but that's just me.
