Hello everyone,
It's been awhile. Great to be back on the forums. Sadly, my parents passed away within the last year. Been difficult but realized how much I enjoyed reading your posts everyday and my love of watches.

I apologize if this has been discussed before. I have always worn regular button cuff shirts in the past. Since discovering Charles Tyrwhitt I now ordered about 8 french cuff shirts. I've had a few before and always wore my watches with straps assuming the cufflinks would scratch and nick the watch. Just curious if anyone does the same or just wear them together anyway regardless of the scratches.

For what it's worth I'm not someone who really babies my 16613. However, I prefer to avoid dings.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks TRF!

All of my shirts that take cufflinks are from Charles Tyrwhitt, and my cufflinks never even touch my watch.

Yeah i was going to say my cufflinks never touch my watch.

Post a pic to show us what you mean please.

No problem with cufflinks.

Thanks for the responses. Actually never tried it yet to post pic. Just assumed would. I recall reading it before on the forms. You've convinced me. I'll give it a shot later in the week and post pics. As always,thanks TRF!

Still trying to engrain in my mind dings, scratches etc give the watch character.

jjnd08 · 12 February 2014, 01:04 PM

CT shirt. Cufflinks don't touch.

Been wearing cuff links over twenty years and never has it been an issue nor really have they ever touched my watch.

Some of my French cuff shirt cuffs are too tight for my DJII. I tried using a button hole extender but that just put the end of the cufflink right against the band, which wasn't good.

Current solution is to use silk knot links and just stretch out one of the links.

Good luck!

Sincere condolences for your parents, so sad.......

Thank you Ander. It's so surreal, just over a year ago I never imagined that this would happen. Im 37 now and reality really has hit me that family and friends In my life truly are precious.

Also, thanks everyone for the pics and info. My addition to TRF has returned:)
