White gold band with my SD most of the time. Both choices are driven by my preference for silver over gold.

wristworks · 13 December 2008, 12:19 AM

Brushed Platinum wedding band very chunky goes well with my Deepsea. I wear a gold ring on my other hand which was my fathers.

ippon20 · 13 December 2008, 12:27 AM

I have a polished platinum band and all SS watches. It's funny because the patina on my band is worse than on my watches, almost making the brushed oysters look polished in comparison.

sirjohnbrian · 13 December 2008, 01:27 AM

The first Rolex I bought for myself absolutely had to match my wedding band. I have a two tone rings with diamonds and the Jubilee Datejust with Diamonds is almost a perfect match.

Perdu · 13 December 2008, 01:48 AM

I have been married 22 years and worn my wedding ring on my wedding day and maybe 10 times since. That solves the problem of coordination.

We both wear TT wedding band and have SS watches. It's what we like. We also drink porto w/ dinner. Then again it's what we like. We are a bit odd.

alohanakoni · 13 December 2008, 03:17 AM

i don't wear a wedding band...my watch is my wedding band.

roamer · 13 December 2008, 03:43 AM

Nope. My wedding ring is gold and my Rolex is SS. I am not a very blingy person and didn't even consider getting a YG Rolex. I was 100% sure I wanted an SS watch/band.

dallasdan · 13 December 2008, 04:26 AM

Platinum ring with my SS Sub or SS DJ. Gold ring clashes.

Atlanta · 13 December 2008, 04:48 AM

It did match my TT Tag 4000 - not it does not match my SS GMTc - but that's okay with me.

daytona1 · 13 December 2008, 05:30 AM

Mines a tattoo. It matches though. It doesnt really go with my Day Date but I can live with it...

Rebel · 13 December 2008, 05:33 AM

I have a SS Exp II, White Face......wear a gold band to the left and gold fraternity ring to the right.

Wife got me a cheapo silver wedding band a few years ago. I wear it now and then to match my Rolex.

Spark · 13 December 2008, 08:01 AM

Not until Rolex start making a ball and chain bracelet

ttannert · 13 December 2008, 01:39 PM

Yep! I have a brushed titanium wedding band and either SS or TT watches!

East Bay Rider · 13 December 2008, 02:20 PM

Nope. When I got married I got the simple gold band. No frills. My SS GMT-II came 15 years later.
I really would be surprised if anyone even noticed.

SUPERDOC · 13 December 2008, 02:44 PM

I'm too obsessive compulsive to have it any other way...

Not only do they match, they're oyster style...

YG for my TT and yg watches

WG for SS

Nice!

rbc · 13 December 2008, 03:02 PM

I like TT watches and they match well with my gold wedding ring.

Beecher · 16 December 2008, 06:53 AM

I dont wear a wedding band (cause im not merried) but I do wear 2 gold rings, both on my middle fingers. On the left, a white gold with saphire (which matched my blue faced last watch better than my sub), and on the right, a YG with a small diamond. I had been considering that when i get a YG watch, wearing it on my right had to match the ring, but I just switched the rings, and the YG rings looks great with the SS watch. I would never consider mixing and matching like that before, but since i fell in love with a black face TT daytona, Ive opened up a bit, hahah

The most common colour for rings is probably YG, and stainless for watches, so I dont think it matters, and I dont think anyone would even notice, never mind look down on you for it.

Now, YG cufflinks, and WG tie arresting apparatus. That just aint right...

f16570 · 16 December 2008, 06:59 AM

What you mean like missing? Wife knows where it is and that works for me. Have not worn it in years. Gold was never my thing.

Widows Son · 16 December 2008, 08:15 AM

I think you'll find most jewelers will agree that people mix and match jewelry colors today. Most of my Masonic rings are size 11 and only fit on my left hand. I'm wearing an Air King now with a stainless Masonic ring. For dress I'll wear a glod Masonic ring and a gold dress watch, usually a vintage Hamilton or my TT Date.

Rolexitis · 16 December 2008, 08:59 AM

Nope....wedding band is YG and Sub is SS.

builtforspeed · 16 December 2008, 12:29 PM

I've got an old platinum wedding band lying about here somewhere. I'm just not willing to put it back on, even if it does match my YM!

Cheers,

Chris

Nope - I have YG band and all my watches are SS.

S/SOnly · 16 December 2008, 11:55 PM

Yep.... Titanium and Stainless

DSJ · 17 December 2008, 12:55 AM

Yup!

Welshwatchman · 17 December 2008, 01:36 AM

My wedding band cost just £50 but is far more precious and treasured than all my Rolex watches combined.

She's gone now. I was fibbing.

Rebel · 23 February 2009, 12:48 AM

I have a SS ExpyII (White Face). My wedding band is Gold as is my College Ring with Fraternity Crest on stone.

However, I should point out that I usually do not wear my rings. Only once or twice a month for dressy events, etc.
