I wear a yellow gold wedding ring which was made in Hatton Garden. It's rather large. I call it a 'mans ring'!!!

I've got from De Beers a WG ring with a diamond and two Platinum 4mm bands, although I'm having a diamond added to the larger one (64mm).

I've also got a 22K WG bracelet on the right wrist.

Titanium

I have always worn titanium rings and a bracelet. I liked the brushed look, so my wedding band is also titanium and its brushed finish compliments the Submariner my wife bought me as a wedding gift.

Had all two tone before the SS GMT-C. Just gonna wear it with the two tone stuff, The rings mean to much for me to even think about changing, visa versa.

I recently got married and wanted a SS band, for several reasons:

1. I did not to spend the cash on a gold or plat. band. A Plat. ring in the size I wanted would have cost $3,000. For that, I could get a decent pre-owned GMT pepsi.

2. I wanted the metal to match my 116710.

3. I wanted a very durable ring.

x2 - 21 years ago she gave me a yellow gold ring. I bought a SS GMT IIC last November. I wear 'em both at the same time with no hesitation because it is all about the love. Plus, then I'd be in the market for a new diamond and platinum set!

My wedding band is a two tone white/yellow gold. Recently I've been using a stainless steel band to match my five different stainless steel or titanium watches. In the future I plan to get a tungsten band. My watch and wedding band are the only jewelry I wear. I used to wear a chain, but stopped using that a few years ago.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts on this subject. I finally figured out what I wanted and got a great deal on a 5mm Platinum band. I will still wear my Gold band with my other TTs and will cherish both of them. Thanks, Wesley
