Do you wear gold jewelry with your rolex?

I think anything that is so blatantly branded such as LV monogram just screams out notice me!! That includes certain items of jewellry for men as well. Less is more and those that matter will recognise what you have without the need to advertise!

In the upper echelons of society, having gone to prep school at Philips Exeter is worth much more than driving a Ferrari. We don't go to bars and clubs that admit the general public or waste money on "bottle service" to impress the peasants.

In terms of material items, some things are classy and some are crass. Here's a test to see if you can tell the difference. Which duffel bag is classy and which one is the crass "status symbol" that the peasants aspire to own?

I hope this is all in jest otherwise you are coming across as very crude and vulgar, all the qualities you are trying so hard to define in others.

I don't, but would. Gold on each arm/finger/neck can be too loud, but how you carry yourself and your outfit has a lot to do with it, as well.

Less is definitely more. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing jewelry to an extent. For example on my left hand I wear my ring and my watch, and on my right I'll sometimes wear a bracelet or two. I would love to own a Cartier Love bracelet. I know they're "overpriced", but so is a Rolex. =-)

[superstarmar]

I wear my TT Bluesy Sunburst with my diamond channel
wedding band ring and a diamond cut link chain ...
No bracelet or other rings ... I'm comfortable with that
and it works for me ... The chain is a Medium style link
Figaro not too thin but not too thick or fat either;
lest I might appear to be a gansta which I'm not ... Lol

[Racerdj]

Only my wedding ring.

[Muzz]

Just my wedding band and sometimes cuff links.

Wow, you are exactly the type of people I can't associate with. Everything you said points to a person who banks his life on diplomas hanging on the wall of his very stuffy office and looks down at self made milionaires. Many of us come from ethnic backgrounds, for example my father who came from Italy when he was 17yrs old with his first ever pair of new shoes for the trip. With very hard work and determination bottled with massive amounts of sacrifice, he has become very succesful. With your strong opinion, you would look at him with contempt because he bought something "flashy". Not very nice

Yes.

Bought them both for just this reason. The ring must match the watch. Gold watch, gold ring.

I don't necessarily agree with that member's post either, but I don't like ostentatious displays of wealth. Sure, it's your money, you earned it, you can do whatever you want with it. But that doesn't make it classy or tasteful. As they say, you can't buy taste.

[derekstlmo]

I like Cartier Jewery

[anothernewphone]

I have a ton of tattoos, and I like to dress more conservatively now that I'm so adorned. I relate that to jewelry and watches - I don't need loud, I just want really nice.

Pretty funny post, but you should really include emoticons like: , , , etc., so that everyone knows you're joking and not being a pompous ass.

I wear gold Braclet necklace and a ring it's an Asian thing and me personally I love jewelry in my opinion who cares what other people think as long as you are comfortable and happy on what you have that's all that matters

[mtgjr]

I love jewelry, too. Some people tell me I take it a little too far, but hey, as long as I'm happy that's all that matters. Right? Unfortunately, I forgot my watch for this picture.

[Mrkamir9]

What's wrong with men wearing jewelry? I wear a gold chain given to me by my grandparents, my wedding band with diamonds from my wife, and (occasionally) a gold bracelet given to me by my mother. All pieces I cherish, wear and will keep forever. I also love wearing a touch of handmade leather, or beads with my watches. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I know thousands of watch guys who wear leather and beads everyday... And it looks great. Go to other countries like Italy, Greece, the whole Middle East, Asia, Puerto Mexico, India etc etc... It's the normal...

This also comes down to style. It doesn't make sense for some guys...I'm sure some guys still wear cargo shorts, I would never wear cargo shorts. We can go back and forth about these topics, everyone is a different age with a different style!

Point is, wear what you want. Not because it's "Cool" but because you enjoy it. Not everyone can pull it off... Doesn't mean men shouldn't 😉

Erm, this is a Rolex forum. We wear watches that are worth more than gold. Why all the gold hate? Gold is an ostentatious display of wealth? Really? And what are these manbags about??

IMHO the eyepatch makes this work

[Azluzvay]

So what do you think defines luxury? Wearing a crap load of gold jewelry looking like Scarface or an expensive watch.

[mtgjr]

I can't decide whether the large medallion (some people insist on calling it a hubcap) is white gold or platinum.

That's why love going to Ctf all the time

[Marcus09]

The watch for men IS jewelry. I personally wear my Rolex along with high quality clothes, you know like Polo, Hackett...
I hope that answers you question.

[Marcus09]

Here's how I wear my Daytona at work 😁

[Oscarpapa]

Being British we are into the understated look, so watch and wedding band is it. I know a guy who orbits around my circle of friends who has the works, gold watch, several rings on each hand and the gold neck chain and who thinks he is cool and the bee's knees whereas we all think he looks a clown.

I really hope you don't think you have any class. Especially the way you talk.

What a dumb and ignorant post.
