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

wantonebad · 30 May 2018, 06:17 AM

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.

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.

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!

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!

antbkny · 30 May 2018, 10:16 AM

Mil-spec paracord on occasion

No problem, my wrist is just under 7 inches and it fits me fine FYI.

Spartacus · 30 May 2018, 10:25 AM

yes, mostly DY, I blame the hours spent waiting in the store while my wife picks something out. Luckily the local Cartier staff are terrible, I’ve dodged that bullet so far!

No problem, you can adjust it with the slide piece. It’s fairly snug in this pic.
