Do you match dials/clothes?

Hello, just need your opinions please:
Do you guys decide what Rolex to wear, based on dial color, and the clothes you are wearing. For instance, my daily wearer DSSD black dial goes with everything since its a neutral color, perfect everyday watch, but when I'm wearing jeans or a blue shirt, I tend to match with my Blue Sub, so I got everything covered.

Well.....I just got myself a DateJust II slate dial with green Romans, always loved that watch, IMO one cool dress/sporty watch, but for some strange reason I consider that the green theme crashes with everything I wear unless I am wearing something green, and this is driving me nuts.

I am being too an@l about this? please dont flame me. Hehe

Black easily goes with green, so does white, brown tan and gold

Nary a thought of clashing passes through my mind. Color choices are black, silver, gold, white, blue, and red (including bezel inserts) and I wear them indiscriminately With whatever I'm wearing (usually jeans). Oh wait, I guess I have one watch with white strap and pink numbers. It's 53mm size means I don't wear it with anything except maybe a wetsuit.

Wearing a BLNR along with a shirt not being blue, black or white is blasphemy.

I always match my watch to the clothes I am wearing. I also pick my watch of the day based on what color scrubs I am wearing and my Nike's have to match as well.

We aren't crazy, just coordinated!

Thanks for your inputs guys. I see I am not alone with this obsessive color matching disorder. I wonder if I can replace my Slate/green dial with the more neutral black/gold Romans??
Time to open a new thread.
