Why worry, Rolex goes with Tux and jeans/t-shirt.

I believe ANY Rolex looks good in jeans and a tee.

I think it can bee cool to match things up.








See how the shoes pick out the red on the date hand



See how the shirt brings out the pink in MOP.



This shirt works withe blue dial



Then maybe it doesn't always happen

Having seen all these great responces its obvious im not alone here..
A watch is considered a piece of jewlery among other things, and jewlery is suppost to complement your dress attire...so it make good sence to match your watch with what you are wearing...
ofcourse as some have said, a rolex can go with anything..because they are so versitile they can, but I love to choose which watch to wear based on the clothes which I feel best go with it...that being said, I am lucky enough to own enough great timepieces to do this...and I know that is a fortunate position to be in.

Some people appreciate attention to details and other couldn't care less.

In the end, it's truly not important. Whatever makes YOU happy!

I wear my YG DD with just about everything and it matches the rest of my metals (pen, belt buckle, cufflinks, etc). I also match leathers (belt/shoes/wallet).

Again, it's not really important but obviously I feel that it's worth the time and investment to me.

I am often complimented on how I dress, but since most American men are wearing untucked t-shirts with athletic shoes or flip flops, it's pretty easy to dress better than most.
