Rolex & Bracelets!

It seems there is a new trend of people wearing high end bracelets with their watches.

What do you guys think about it?

looks very cool and unique and matches well, for me don't like things rubbing against my watch, my wife is a different story and wears all kinds of bracelets with her watches.

far from high end, but I often pair some simple leather bracelets with my watches. Nothing that could scratch my watch too bad though...

A watch is enough for me as I don't like those fancy bracelets.

You wear your watch on your right hand Angelo? Are you a lefty, or just cause?

I had to switch my watch to my right hand at the doctors office the other day cause they were examining my left arm and I didn't want to just put my watch on the counter in the examination room. I actually really liked the way it felt on my right wrist. It was a strange feeling.

Yep, I'm a lefty Chad and have always worn my watches on my right wrist.
There was a thread about this not too long ago so I switched wrists for a few minutes and it felt like my pants were on backwards.
Back it went on the right wrist.

x2, would worry about scratching the watch case, also it would bother me with a bracelet and watch on the same wrist. I occasionally just wear a gold bracelet on my right wrist to compliment the watch on my left. That's just men though.

Nice StingHD...

Personally I like the look.

I wear a cartier love bracelet and Juste un Clou bracelet with my watches. I really like the combo. And i get many complements on it.

I would stretch that to include class/academy/lodge ring.

I love the look but don't like the scratches that will follow. My shirts and jackets alone is already doing a good job filling my watches with hairlines.

Yeah it felt really weird. Loved getting a different view of my AP though. If I didn't already have 20 years of left side wrist awareness I would switch it up every once and a while, but I know within the first hour on my right wrist I would bang my watch into every door jam in the house.

I hope you guys doing this are young, because that looks ridiculous on anyone older than 25

I'm 35, but I don't know who you're addressing. All bracelets are meant for younger than 25 year olds?

Anyway, it's all a matter of taste. Leopard Daytona looks ridiculous In my humble opinion, but there are many out there who love it, wear it proudly and confidently... And you know what, pull it off.

It's all about perspective. Open Your mind a little.
