Rolex & Bracelets

Do you wear a bracelet on the opposite wrist of your Rolex? If so, do you prefer silver, steel, gold or beads? Post pics.

I am the type of person who thinks a nice wrist watch is more than sufficient to play the role as a jewelry for men. Hence, no bracelet for me. Just a personal opinion of course.

Either Omega's rubber bracelets (casual) or David Yurman beads (dressy) on opposite wrist!

I started wearing a narrow black fitbit on my right wrist during the initial lockdown in March of 2020. My wife and I get in 4 to 5 mile walks almost every day. I like tracking my exercise but not interested in an Apple Watch and I still enjoy wearing a real watch on my left wrist…

Cuban bracelet opposite of the watch hand for me. Yellow gold, though thinking on switching to a white gold or rose gold cuban.

Rolex & Bracelets

I wear a Garmin Vivosmart 4 on my opposite wrist. As trackers go it's about as inconspicuous as they get these days. Gets charged about twice a week. Hmm, needs charging this morning.

Same here too. I don't really feel like it, wearing a bracelet on the other wrist. My Rolex is just enough for me.

I'm with the fitbit guys. I've worn my trusty Alta for coming up on 4 years now, 8 years with the brand altogether, and no plans to wear anything else.

I used to wear a Fitbit on my right wrist ( watch on the left ), at least i did until i did a superman impression over the handle bars of my bike at 25mph and the fitbit died - luckily the Panerai was untouched !

Bracelets look great opposite a Rolex or other watch. Just don't have any at the moment.

I tried this fad and it didn't last long for me. Tried both same wrist and then on my right by itself. Oh well...

Sometimes I wear a beaded bracelet on my right hand. It is one of my favorite gifts my wife has ever given me. The beads are a black lava bead, and it has silver circlets with her name and the names of my kids engraved. It matches extremely well opposite my 16610 as the colors are very similar.

I tried wearing a fitbit for a while, even trying one of the watches, but I really prefer my mechanical watches. I just couldn't get into the whole digital thing. Normally these days I am wearing one of my Rolexes, but today chose to wear my 1963ish Gruen 510.

I like bracelets and I like color coordinating. I've seen some really nice combos out online. I have a leather braided bracelet and then another nice 3 strand, twisted leather bracelet with engraved beads that show my 3 boys' names on them. I'm looking for something cool that would add some color, so tiger eye beads are fun or lava rocks.

I also have friends with teenagers in the house, so whenever someone offers to make a simple braided yarn bracelet I will happily oblige. Those don't scratch the watch so I'll wear those on the left wrist next to the watch. My Rolex has a blue dial, so I always ask for at least one blue thread when offered.

Eventually when I get a Pepsi I'll tie in some red and blue. Right now I'm looking for something narrow and subtle with blue in it to wear next to the watch but in a fabric or material that won't scratch the watch. Nicer than a teenager made friendship bracelet!
