Does anybody wear a bracelet with their Rolex?

Anyone wear a bracelet with their Rolex? If so, left or right of it? On the opposite wrist? Thanks

I actually do both, sometimes it will be on the same wrist, sometimes on the other one...it depends on my mood mostly!

Yes, on the opposite wrist. Never on the same because (1) it looks unbalanced if the other wrist is left bare, and (2) it'll likely scratch my watch.

Not me. I wear a wedding band, a college ring, and watch that's it. No bracelet no necklace.

Just me.

I wear this leather bracelet when I need to tone down my DJII a little bit for casual wear. I like the look:

Bracelets are a little girly IMHO. I had handcuffs on for a short stint does that count.

Me, no. I know of one lady who wears both on the right and another who wears both on the left. Why?

My wife wears a diamond bracelet that she got to match her rolex. She got a fairly small on to wear on the same wrist.

I feel that the look of a bracelet on the right hand or the pinky ring is a look that has passed.

In some Eastern European circles, the bracelet and ring are still lingering, but the more educated and sophisticated circles - long gone.

No bracelets on my wrist, whether I'm wearing a Rolex or not.

Really? I guess I'm out of this circle then! And here I was, thinking it took more than something on a person's wrist to judge her...

X2. It's a nice sexy/masculine contrast. I like that it won't scratch the watch as well.

'mewellery' , 'murses' , - its all a part of the times we live in..
I couldnt live without my 'murse' .. when Im out and about.. and same goes for my 'mewellery' .. which is a part of my 'being'..and given to me, by my 'better' half, upon our engagement...(1984)
It's what we cherish and hold on to, because, that is what it was intended to be.......!!..(I've posted pics b4..but lost them with a 'flash-drive' loss...)..
