Wedding Band suggestions

I figured fellow watch aficionado's could lend some advice for men's wedding bands - ideally something to go with an ss Nautilus incoming!

I’ve picked mine out to my parter. She knows now which one to get me.

Chose this as it’s simple but not plain. Didn’t want diamonds or anything on it. Also there is a family sentimental gold nugget ring so wanted a white ring to alternate.

I agree with this. I also recommend to try on the various mm widths so you can get something that looks nice on your finger and is still comfortable.

Agreed, domed comfort fit in platinum, a classic choice.

Sometimes friends joke that I'm wearing a "dad ring," and hey, that time will come.

Have you looked at different materials? I’m thinking about getting a forged carbon wedding band made!

For those looking for the forged carbon or titanium look, they now make a black diamond ring, even though you'd never know it. Looks like a normal titanium ring, but is incredibly light and durable. I saw it a few months ago when shopping with my wife.

This is a wedding ring, something that will represent your commitment to your partner for the rest of your life and will then become an heirloom for future generations. Stick with a classic pm band. Tiffany makes some of the most comfortable if you're looking for a "name brand". I think anyone who goes with/went with a titanium/carbon/black diamond/etc. will greatly regret their decision in 20 years. Not only is this a fad, it's a bad one....think mullet, platform shoes, fanny pack.....not a good look.

If I were to marry I'd want a simple thin platinum ring.

I recently went with the 18K yellow gold from tiffany. It's probably the most comfortable ring ever.

My wedding is in a few months so I went to a few places, but once the Tiffany ring went on I knew it was the one. I went with one that was light as I've never worn a ring before in my life.

The platinum one is a good choice if you are used to jewellery other wise its added weight might feel off for a while.

My dad owned a store and I worked with him and I also worked in another jewelry store.

I saw some cool stuff from a company called LaskBrook. Even have meteorite rings, as well as other classic styles. https://www.lashbrookdesigns.com/store/meteorite

I have a platinum band but once I got this $25.00 silicon band I've never worn anything else, ever.

Simple traditional bands for us, engraved inside by the owner of the jewelry store where they were purchased. We don’t view them as jewelry so much but as symbols of our commitment.
We also got a spare plain gold band for her for wearing at times that she doesn’t want to wear the diamonds, beach, yard work kind of things.

My first wedding ring was a Christian Bauer comfort fit platinum with a couple lines I think.
Didn’t work out so well.

Next one I got was a comfort fit SS ring. No markings. Platinum didn’t work for me so I went the opposite way. So far so good.

We wanted matching bands and bought these for our upcoming wedding. My fiancee wanted a simple gold band and I prefer white metals. We saw these and both loved them (they are rose, white, and yellow gold).

Exactly what my two ER doctor friends now wear after cutting off fancy bands for years.
