New wedding band that matches my SubC!

So normally I wear a yellow gold wedding band. The wedding band is a unique color, because it and my wife's rings were made from a single gold krugerrand.

Today my wife surprised me with a meteorite wedding band! It happens to match my Sub to a tee, and could not be happier.

Do you guys ever care to have a band that also matches your watch?

Nice! My wedding ring is made of tungsten carbide so it's silver and matches my sub and other SS watches. If I ever get a full gold watch, I might get another band to match it. But for now, my ring is always matching my watches!

Cool ring but don't get how it matches. I thought you'd gotten a stainless steel brushed ring

You need a watch with a meteorite face to match that ring!

I went the same route and picked out a wedding band that had a touch of polish and brushed look that matched the PCLs and brush of my GMT, love how they compliment each other!

Very cool, but no need to match for me. I wear a rose gold band with my SS Sub-C.

There won't be a match for me. My fiancée wants to go yellow gold for her wedding band, and I'd prefer my band match hers than my watch.

Don't see how that ring is a match? But it's nice, nonetheless.

Is that a Jeff Cooper? My wife bought me one of those which I lost on a business trip in the Caribbean Sea... Needless to say, she was not happy.

It's just some brand called Triton. Tungsten Carbide from Ben Bridge, only a couple hundred bucks, but I got them to thrown in some Rolex marketing swag to make it all worth it!

I don’t wear a wedding ring like my father and grandfather. Seems to run in the family. We did wear a Rolex though haha

Now that looks really good, I like that combo. As for the op I don't see a match at all except that you have two cylindrical items going around appendages.
I personally don't care, My wife bought me a gold ring and that is more important than the Rolex. Matchy matchy is not my thing and wifey thinks that's only what women do, no offense to anyone, before people lose their minds.

Gotta check out that company as I need something I can beat up at work. Thanks for posting.

For those of you with a jubilee bracelet, carlex makes rings that look exactly like a jubilee.

I agree. Cool looking ring. But I don’t see how it matches either. And btw I don’t think it has to.

Wearing my father's ring which my mother gave me when I got married (a couple of years after his death), I see the ring as a symbol rising above fashion. I'd never consider replacing it unless it was lost which isn't going to happen. Many decide not to wear a ring, I can understand that but I don't get wearing it as a fashion accessory. Mine is an heirloom from Tiffany's from the '40s with two dates and pairs of initials engraved in it. I wonder if the casual attitude towards the symbol isn't representative of the casual attitude take toward the significance of marriage today.

I wear a flat white gold ring that got scratched to hell and I touch up occasionally with scotch brite. Matches my EXP2 perfectly.

Looks good OP. I wear a platinum band to match my wife’s ring. I’ve never really cared too much is it matches my watch perfectly.

I went in a different direction. My original YG wedding band sits safely at home while I wear a Qalo black silicone band. The Qalo is wife-approved, of course.
