Maybe a stupid question but oh well

I sometimes feel silly with a SS watch while wearing gold diamond ring and gold chain, the watch seems out of place unless it were gold no? Yes I know the TT looks nice but there is something about an ALL SS watch and other gold jewlery that just seems off to me and I have taken to wearing my silver rings or white gold stuff with SS watch.

Am I being silly? And I am not as vain and shallow as this sounds just want some feedback.

Thoughts?

That is why I do all SS baby!

No, just fashion conscious. Many years ago that was one of the reasons I went with a TT DJ. However, now the only jewelry I wear is a watch. So, SS or TT, makes no difference to me . . . now.

tandrup · 28 January 2010, 04:31 AM

My wife keeps telling me that I should wear Silver and SS steel cufflinks with my SS watches. And she is looking for a TT Rolex for the exact same reason as you are talking about - she wants to be able to wear both WG, YG and Silver jewelry with the watch.

I don't think you are being silly, although I think it's a bigger deal the more jewelry you wear. I don't wear chains, or rings (except for my wedding ring) and I don't have to "match" the other jewelry to my watch.

Safetrends · 28 January 2010, 04:33 AM

Maybe a gold bezel might do the trick?

BarkMaster · 28 January 2010, 04:35 AM

I am the exact same way! Maybe worse! I even go so far as to make sure that the hardware on my pen is YG.

Heck - even my topsiders have YG eyelets.

tt or yg will look better if you wear yg jewelries.

For each watch I own, I have jewelry. I understand what you mean, and I feel the same way. For each watch (18K YG, 18K WG, and SS) I own a coressponding 18K WG or YG or SS chain or chains.

In addition to this, I also own a bracelet and ring in the very same metal.

If I have a watch on I have a chain, bracelet, and ring of the very same metal on me also.

I am a little gaudy as some might say and I have almost a "womanly" obsession with diamonds (Diamond is a woman's best friend?)
but I coordinate appropriately.

When I get my Daytona, I don't care how much I love diamonds, there will be no diamonds on the WG Daytona. That is a sweet watch and I would never mess it up with that!

moviefreak · 28 January 2010, 04:38 AM

I think I would feel the same way.. go gold or TT..

Willi · 28 January 2010, 04:46 AM

I don't think you're silly at all, I'm much the same way. SS and platinum or sterling stuff only. If you fancy a YG chain and ring, definitely go all YG or 2 tone.

SLS · 28 January 2010, 04:54 AM

Sounds like a great excuse to get a TT watch!

Percival · 28 January 2010, 04:56 AM

Well its good to know I am not the only one with such a neurosis!

I have a SS DJ and a TT DJ but for some reason I enjoy wearing the SS more but then I dont feel right with my other YG rings and bracelet etc.

There are people with more problems...

What's a topsider and eyelet?

Btw to the OP, I am in the same boat but then again, I'm not into jewelry like that any more.

Gerardus · 28 January 2010, 05:00 AM

Well in the past i felt the same way, gold with gold.
At this time i think it is okay to wear it together SS +Gold.

I think he means something like this and the silver eyelets would piss him off?

I think Rolex feels the same way or they would not make TT watches!

chebert · 28 January 2010, 05:11 AM

thats why i always have a TT in my collection. i also look for TT in bracelets and wedding ring so it all matches. cufflinks as well. i dont think you are crazy, i believer your appearance ALWAYS very important in relation to your success.

Yes a TT is essentially wearing SS with GOLD but it is somehow different if the watch is all SS and you wear a YG ring and chain, I dont know why but it is.

Shoes don't "piss" me off (or on, for that matter)

Coke is to cola as Topsider is to boat shoes... A brand used as a generic term. They are so I don't leave scuff marks on my 6,000ft long megayacht, of course!

My 18 karat TT watch doesn't match my 14k Yellow Gold ring. they are two different shades.

chrisok · 28 January 2010, 05:43 AM

I wear a stainless wedding band,stainless pen,and stainless watch...guess im really too scripted. I really need to loosen up...lol

bobernet · 28 January 2010, 05:45 AM

Fortunately, the only jewelry i wear is a platinum wedding ring, which matches my SS watches. I'm worse than you... I'm looking for a new Mont Blanc with platinum clip and accents, because my current Meisterstuck LeGrande with gold clip clashes with my watch and rings. :-)

P.S. When I wear cufflinks (rarely) I always wear white gold or platinum to match.

Dan Pierce · 28 January 2010, 05:46 AM

Poor mans platinum for me.

Where did you get those rings I like.

tkc324 · 28 January 2010, 05:51 AM

I am also very anal about the color of jewelry i wear.
Everything I have is silver in color... white gold ring, ss daytona, white gold necklace and platinum mont blanc.

submariner16610 · 28 January 2010, 06:38 AM

tt is the way to go. it will match everything..

spuds · 28 January 2010, 06:39 AM

SS watches.....
Titanium wedding ring....& titanium 'barbell type' cufflinks on a crisp white cuff when worn.

Works for me.....

DarkHorse · 28 January 2010, 02:12 PM

It's not an unreasonable consideration, I'm conscious of matching metals or at the very least not wearing contrasting colours. We may both have OCD :)

That's one of the coolest things about this place. It's filled with guys who are as an-...er...OC as I am about these details. I not only would worry about the rings or bracelets but also belt buckles, tie tacs, the whole bit. Now I even try to get the strap color to match whatever color is dominant for the day. Sheesh !

Anybody else got a blue anodized watch (Zenith Defy "Sea", in my case) on a blue strap ?
