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

Wedding band and watch, the only jewelry I wear

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. |

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...

It's elitist, snobbish and ignorant. Personally I wear a simple bracelet my gf gave me on the opposite wrist. Very sentimental. I have 3 Miansai bracelets. Between those 3 bracelets, I have one for every occasion. |

'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...)..

Here are pictures of mine, I don't wear them all at the same time but those two pictures show the ones I currently own.
The two first ones are Pandora's macrame band and double braided leather band with the gold clasps, the other bracelet belonged to my grandmother, I had the plate put on with my name to make it a tad longer (she had very small wrists), it's a great souvenir from her. I bought the chain bracelet in this one, the other one was a gift from a good TRF friend of mine.

Jesus, no. I would never wear a metal bracelet, with or without a watch....
Another thing are beads and leather as bracelets: those I'd use. Last edited by Rolexwatch; 27 March 2013 at 12:35 PM.. Reason: Adding image |

Very, very rarely. Sometimes at the shore on vacation I'll pick up one of those rawhide braided "bracelets" and wear it on my opposite wrist, but generally the answer is no.

Geez - some of these comments...
It's really quite a diverse world out there, kids. If a bracelet is not right for you, that's ok. Personally I'm not a big fan of hairy backs, bad comb-overs, and beer guts. But live and let live, I say. |

Agreed. Some people can make it look nice and others can't. I has to do with the person, their style, etc. Just like some watches look good on someone when others don't.

18K gold curblink bracelet on the opposite wrist. I have worn a gold bracelet for over 30 years. Glad I bought my last one in 2001 when gold was very cheap compared to today. :)

I wear this Links bracelet on my right wrist
and this new SS bracelet on my left wrist (with whatever watch I happen to be wearing): I used to wear this gold bracelet with my watch until it broke.

I don't wear a bracelet but if I did, it would definitely be on the opposite wrist....I would not allow a bracelet scratch my case.

Usually on right wrist, but sometimes with watch as well. Doesn't look 'girly' to me. Or passé, or uneducated or unsophisticated. Geez...

I'm not a bracelet guy, but there was one featured in a GQ magazine last year with Derrick Rose on the cover that I liked a lot. I believe it was some Tom ford design but it was a simple steel metal band. I haven't been able to find it but I also don't think I have the skin tone to pull off such a small piece.. I also may never pursue it because it was way overpriced..

Opposite wrist, gold torque bangle.
Used to be a 9oz curb bracelet, which I wish I hadn't sold, even though I doubled my money on it, It'd be worth more than 3 times what I paid for it now, scrap value. |
