RO and cufflinks

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone wears their RO/ROC with cufflinks? I have found that cufflinks caused quite a few hairline scratches on the bezel of my PAM around the 12 o'clock area, but as the PAM bezel is relatively simple to polish and the hairlines are not too noticeable I'm not too concerned.

However, with the ROC I just got and the fine brushed finishing on the bezel, I'm really concerned about getting hairline scratches on it which I think will also be much more noticeable.

So just wondering if others wear cufflinks with their RO without issue, or do you avoid cufflinks with the RO?

On a side note, really like these cufflinks I got not too long ago :)



Cheers,
James

I usually wear Brooks Brothers Knot cufflinks and no worries about scratches. I'll wear metal cufflinks with leather strap watches.

Nice cufflinks James

Where did you get them? I want a pair

I had issues with cufflinks and SS watches in the past but now I have my shirts made a bit bigger around the cuff and that seems to fix the issue.

Tokens & Icons make that type of cufflinks. They are in the $300 range. Here are mine!!!

The movements are still functional. If I wind them they work.

Very nice! I was actually looking at those cufflinks a few weeks ago but they were a bit more than I was looking to spend so didn't end up getting them.

They seem to work ok for me, I had them on at most of my Christmas parties and I got a lot of complements. I would like to add the ones you got too

I am going to try and get the AP cufflinks but they don't seem to sell them in Canada

Not sure, I checked them out in this posting (at the bottom), after all the really nice carbon APs :)

http://ap.watchprosite.com/?show=for...3011&ti=580966

I would definitely pick the volcano cufflinks over the orange jeans

Thanks James, great find!

The orange jeans are less the 10% of the cufflinks

But I am not getting the jeans, they are a bit too orange
