Icon20 Rolex on wrist and cuban link bracelet on other wrist

Wanted to get your opinion. I recently picked up a GMT2 116710LN from a local jeweler + a 18k yellow gold cuban link chain. I was thinking of also getting a cuban link bracelet for the other wrist. Now just a few issues. On the hand i wear the GMT i wear a platinum wedding band and a White gold diamond pinky ring i received from my mother in law as a wedding gift. I personally like yellow gold for cuban link jewelry but i feel it might look strange with one wrist/hand with plat, wg, and stainless. Then the other wrist yellow gold matching necklace only.should i get a white gold or yellow gold cuban link bracelet?

+1. I only do white gold jewelry, which compliments my platinum wedding band and SS timepieces. I have a Miami Cuban Link chain 7mm 20” in 14k white gold

I am of the opinion it doesn't really matter, I have never looked at someone and thought that their bracelet is a different material/colour to their watch or ring. (I am willing to concede that, that may just be me though).

I say, buy what you like, if you think it looks good, then enjoy it. You never know, you may get a two tone Rolex at some stage and that combination looks stunning.

I match all of the metals in my watches and jewelry. A finishing touch. At times I wore a Platinum watch, WG signet ring, Sterling silver ID bracelet and necklace. The frames of my glasses and the metal in my belt also match. I would do the same for YG. It is a detail that does not matter to some but confirms or denies to others and to me it matters. Match the metals is my take.

I prefer not to mix metal colours but I'm sure no-one will notice if you choose to!

Don’t let forum members ruin you vibe man.

I like jewelry.

Every time someone mentions something isn’t a watch and a wedding band, toms of forum members start explaining how that isn’t manly.

Haha

I wear a SS Rolex Datejust on my left (sometimes a Seiko skx013) and a Tiffany ID bracelet on my right.

I’ll post a pic soon

I ordered a RG Cuban bracelet to match my watches and jewelry, it should be coming next week. I don’t think it matters too much if you go with multiple metals - after all, TT watches look good!

Bracelet arrived today. Usually I wear the watch on the other wrist, don’t worry, it’s just there for the picture.

Looks great and goes well with the Daytona.

Nice! Where did you order it from? My Miami Cuban 14kt white gold link chain is from Daniel Jewelry Inc. in Hialeah Gardens, FL. They do amazing work.

Simultaneously owning multiple steel Rolexes which look nearly identical is smart but simultaneously wearing a gold chain with a steel Rolex is not?

Don’t worry about mixing metal colors. Only you will notice. I would just stay away from water though. With that much heavy PM you’re going to sink.

Are you suggesting that these members I am mentioning are insecure of their manliness for other reasons as well?

Me too.

I used to wear a gold ID bracelet on my other wrist, a gift from my first wife a long time ago. After I divorced her, I found myself, so I didn't need the bracelet anymore. But you do you.

No, not at all. It’s a brave new world and things are very different in all sorts of ways.

It is very important to find yourself.

With work and a relationship sometimes I feel like I am steering away from what I used to be.

I’m trying to get back on track though

I can’t wait till the world opens up again and I can claim what used to be mine
