Hi fellas,

I'm considering getting a 18k gold curb bracelet but I'm not 100% sure if it will look "ok" along side my Sub C.

My question is, do any of you wear a bracelet with a rolex or any other watch for that matter and have no issues with it.

One thing that concerned me is the gold may get scratched by the 904l steel and vice verser.

I guess I need some guidance before I go out and buy one

Thanks for your help fellas,

Aude,

Nothing should distract the eye from the watch, in my opinion.

beshannon · 5 April 2014, 03:33 AM

No.

Watch and wedding band.

1bad750 · 5 April 2014, 03:34 AM

maybe on the other wrist? why risk scratching the watch?

bracelets are for women (no offense)

APguy1 · 5 April 2014, 03:35 AM

Ok on the other wrist then, I'm not sure if it would suit the smart casual look I go for?!?!?!?

Gold bracelet with gold watch is ok.

Can't you wear the bracelet on your right wrist? My wife does this and it looks fine. But to have it up against a Rolex... not so sure. Do what feels right for you though. I'm no fashion consultant.

Picked it up off a guy who wad in need of $$$ bad. He had gone to a pawn shop and they offered 450$ CAN so he called me and i offered him 600$ and that sealed the deal

. I just love the clasp. Clasp alone weighs 4.3 GR. All in all pretty happy with the purchase.

I would only wear this with my 16803. But now that it's sold i just wear it when the rolex is off or else it just clashes. IMO.

Oh that's great :D I think I'll get it but for the other wrist. It is quite bulky so it isn't like a ladies bracelet with charms hanging off it

That bracelet of your is damn heavy :D

iazrollie · 5 April 2014, 04:18 AM

nah...a watch is plenty of jewelry in and of itself.

Boothroyd · 5 April 2014, 04:23 AM

I'm a watch and wedding band type, so I would say no. But to each their own.

chieftd · 5 April 2014, 04:25 AM

Good score on the new bracelet Hulk! I wear a curb link 18K gold bracelet on the opposite wrist of my watch. I've worn a bracelet now for the last 35 years. My watch is a 16613. Of course, I think the combo looks fine. :) Cheers, Tim.

Is it quite weighty ? Also does t feel like you have your watch on the wrong wrist ?

Also what width is it ?

Thanks :)

james1787 · 5 April 2014, 05:02 AM

Just the watch and wedding band here. I think if I had a bracelet I'd wear it on my other arm. It would be too much going on for one wrist..

Wesley Crusher · 5 April 2014, 05:06 AM

For me, less is more. A watch is all I need.

Slider817 · 5 April 2014, 05:12 AM

Is saw someone in an elevator a few weeks ago with a Deep Sea and a whole load of chains and bagels on his wrist, I though it looked pretty cool, although the watch looked pretty beat up, but I think it went well with his while hipster look.

MortgageGuy · 5 April 2014, 06:27 AM

I wouldn't wear gold next to ss no

APguy1 · 5 April 2014, 06:29 AM

Ok I have never owned a 10k gold item or a 18k item so does one get damaged easier than the other like dents or scratches.

kilyung · 5 April 2014, 06:36 AM

Easy solution - no bracelet required

bayerische · 5 April 2014, 06:58 AM

Only other "jewelry" I wear besides a watch (if a watch could ever be considered Jewelry) is my wedding ring.

sco · 5 April 2014, 07:05 AM

I used to wear a white gold bracelet and a pinky ring on my right wrist / hand. I stopped a few years ago, it was just too much. Now I'm a watch and a wedding ring kind of guy. Oh and a necklace that stays hidden under my shirt that was bought by my wife when my first daughter was born.

salander · 5 April 2014, 07:30 AM

Nothing should detract from the watch on the wrist.
