Does anyone worry about their watch clashing with their every day clothes? Especially rolexes with colored bezels like the GMT Pepsi?

mtgjr · 25 December 2016, 12:53 PM

Nope. Not an issue. And I work in a very conservative office/field, and wear suits daily.

Atleo · 25 December 2016, 12:54 PM

Yes. But I wear a stainless steel explorer for that reason. Also, every day clothes for me are a navy or grey tshirt and dark jeans because I'm too eccentric to stray from what works. The blue and red might work for me but not for someone who varies their wardrobe with differing colors, or collegiate hoodies and shorts, or crocs or woodland camouflage etc.

With that said, I've seen people wear a fake gold timex with a suit to important meetings and court and such. I don't think less of them. They may not be watch people.

Red and blue on a watch when nearly everything else I'm wearing is not those colors would bother me though.

My Hulk, with its sunburst green dial and green bezel is my every day wear. Never felt like it didn't belong.

Loevhagen · 25 December 2016, 04:32 PM

Yes.

walt2810 · 25 December 2016, 04:36 PM

Funny thread since I jut started to wear mine for the last 2 months. It looks great so i don't worry about the clashing or lack of clashing :)

Sure.

I would not wear my Pepsi with certain combos of clothing. I choose watches / clothing which go together.

Dark · 25 December 2016, 06:30 PM

I doesn't bother me

BigCFM · 25 December 2016, 06:45 PM

It would never cross my mind. Especially these days where I see people wearing Apple and other types of 'smart' watches in a variety of garishly colours.

They are wearing the watch for themselves only, and that's exactly what you should do.

sicumj · 25 December 2016, 10:31 PM

My GMT is black faced and so is my date/just.

Roll the Lex · 25 December 2016, 10:58 PM

I hate the pepsi with my purple dress shirts. Looks awful. But it's my only watch. So life goes on.

No worries. Works good. Lasts a long time.

Vinyasa · 26 December 2016, 12:08 AM

I couldn't care less about fashion, I wear Rolex for my enjoyment and not for wardrobe coordination.

travisb · 26 December 2016, 01:38 AM

Not at all. The LVC was my daily for 2+ years and never worried about it. I actually like when things clash a bit sometimes.

red1108nyc · 26 December 2016, 02:01 AM

Not everything has to match in life. Little clash is good.

Yup, agreed with all of the above.

tjbender · 26 December 2016, 02:12 AM

Think contrast not clashing. The bezel adds just the right amount of pop and works really well since you have two opposite colours. They complement each other well.

WS9D · 26 December 2016, 03:03 AM

Not at all. Sometime I like when it clashes. Stands out from the variety of monotone watches out there (not that there's anything wrong with monotone watches)

zaydans · 26 December 2016, 03:29 AM

....or you could build a collection so you have something for different outfits and occasions. I could never live with one watch. Too many beautiful pieces out there to be limited to just one, lol!!

Timesurfer · 26 December 2016, 03:58 AM

Nope, very versatile.... besides its a classic!

Still haven't worn a combo where it doesn't work on some level.... Ok, I might be biased!

watchwatcher · 26 December 2016, 04:48 AM

The modern PepC colors are a little more subtle...not an issue. Nor is rocking an LVc, for that matter.

Especially for us retired guys who can wear jeans and t-shirts every day.

Mr. K · 26 December 2016, 05:30 AM

If I was lucky enough to have a white gold GMT Pepsi. I would wear it with anything and everything. Who cares if it clashes.

One Ping Only · 26 December 2016, 06:31 AM

I worry about a lot of things, but not that

SeaAndSky · 26 December 2016, 09:42 AM

Oh yes! That keeps me up at night. Between that and spending hours on the internet researching whether or not it's safe to do anything with my watch on I have no time for sleep.

AK797 · 26 December 2016, 11:29 AM

Matching clothes to a watch is a bit too frou frou for me. Maybe with cufflinks but that would be it. Even with a belt is too much for me to bother with.

Afghanvet · 26 December 2016, 11:50 AM

Nope... but my collection is black dial/black bezel... so no worries!
