Does anyone match their Rolex to their clothing/accessories?

[kyledrum2002]

As an LV owner who wears suits everyday for work, I struggle to wear my LV unless I have some shade of green in my tie. I don't worry at all with casual clothing. I only own one Rolex and it gets limited time due to this issue. I love the watch as it is beautiful and was a very thoughtful and gracious gift from my wife as a 10 year anniversary gift. I will never flip or sale it. It's a keeper for lifetime. However, I'm shopping for an additional Rolex to wear more with business dress. Just curious if anyone else battles this issue as owners of a Rolex with color.

I know, I know. I would have chosen a black sub, but it was given to me as a gift. To be fair, if I had the black sub I would definitely be obsessing about wanting green as it is my favorite color. I wish I could be one of the guys who say they don't care and wear it with everything. I just can't.

I have an LVc and have no problem matching it with my clothes.

You do know green goes with ALOT of colors besides shades of green?

I do. I think it looks great with different blues and purples.

[Cru Jones]

I guess it comes down to personal taste, but, I wear by LVc with anything (suit and tie or casual). And it always looks great.

[johneh]

Just wear it. If you're wearing suits it probably stays under the cuff for most of the day anyway.

Sometimes you look better when you don't look like you're trying so hard to look good.

[canIwearTWOatOnce]

yes but i wear a lot of black white and gray

[Koala]

meh I wear my favorite watches with everything, regardless of whether they match or not

[tjjma]

I have always thought it's silly to to match watch with wardrobe, in particular the LV. In fact I think the opposite is true. Let the watch stand out by itself. Having a LV with a matching green belt or tie just makes it look like you are trying too hard.

I don't ever consider matching my watch with my clothing...then again, I don't have any watches that aren't black and steel.

[Guitarfan]

Yep, I match my watches to my clothes all the time. It's half the fun isn't it?

[thomaspp]

Yes, sure. Always fun. I wear my 1655 with orange socks, have a gold wedding ring for gold watches and a platinum ring for stainless or white gold watches... the crazy shit we do... ha

[Sublover2166]

No. I wear my 2 Submariners with anything and everything.

[AK797]

I like matching cufflinks.

[abovedeck]

Matchy matchy is not in fashion. When it comes to precious metals, it is customary to match gold with gold, etc. and even that is ok to mismatch at times. But for colors, I laugh when I can tell the person purposely matched.

[Dyim]

I try to colour match if possible and if the watches are handy. Ie not in the safe. Black, red, blue, green, silver, rose gold.....

But mostly I match for the purpose. GMT if travelling across more than two time zones, divers for snorkelling.

[kilyung]

Everything goes with gold.

My Rolexes match everything I wear.

In modern color theories, complimentary colors go well together. Complimentary means the colors in the opposite direction of the color wheel. So green goes with red, dark orange, pink, purple & fuchsia. Also, all the colors in between in the middle such as brown, gray, black.

So for masculine colors, the green watch goes well with purple, black, beige and gray. May be burgundy too. Green does not go well with blue or yellow.

Green goes with green too, but not the same shades, may be army fatigue green / beige. Otherwise, it will be St Patick's day look.

Hope this is helpful for all fine dressed gentlemen here at the forums.

Never put any thoughts into what to wear when it comes to outfit and watches.
Yes, the Hulk goes with everything, including black suites.

[MCO1]

I don't have an LV but I "get it". Not so much with steel watches on bracelets....I think very little about having red/blue when I wear my pepsi gmt which might be the same course of action with the green. However, I have the problem when wearing a leather strap on a watch mainly my Speedmaster. Should all the leathers match(belt, shoes watch strap) does it matter? I have never been able to mix black and brown leathers. My solution was a shell cordovan #8 colour watch strap can kind of go with black or brown leathers. One of those OCD kind of things.
