No pics, but I have a 20” 4mm plain Franco chain in 14k white gold. It weighs 52 grams. It is my daily and never comes off.

I had a nice 20” 18k yg box chain. My old lady said she didn’t like it on me and asked to try it on. She did and I never got it back. I’m not really a necklace guy though.

White gold. I wear it under my shirt. It's for me, not the world.

My Dad made the crucifix from dental gold, platinum and palladium mix.
I had the chain made back in the late 80's when you couldn't find a nice white gold chain. Chain is 18k with platinum and palladium mix, no rhodium plating.

I rock a flat byzantine with a fancy clasp

I used to have a sick Cuban link, still on the hunt for a replacement.

Been wearing this cross and chain for around 30 years. I never take it or my wedding ring off.

Keep em coming boys. Some really cool ones except for Chewbacca and Bro Watch's LameO posts because they are too cool to wear a chain. I think as long as you under 6mm in width a gold chain can be a very nice compliment to a Rolex and a daily wearer.

there aren't enough differing designs, most of them seem very fundamental and related to each other.

where I think you can experience some creativity is to look at silver and non precious metal designs and then have those designs bespoke made in precious metal.

Well I ended up going with a 24" 5mm miami cuban chain. Plain, simple, and feels great on the neck. Could not be more happy. Nice compliment to my TT Seadweller.

Can never go wrong with a cuban. Such a classic design

Well the 5MM 14k did not last long. I flipped it yesterday and am having a custom made 6.5mm cuban made out of 18k. Its just a little bit bigger but the weight of 18k just about doubles going from 53grams to 100 grams. After owning a gold Rolex I have come to realize that anything less than 18k is not going to cut it. Pics to come in a couple weeks.

I wear a 110 gram platinum Cuban link bracelet.

It's almost impossible to find platinum Cuban links unless you special order them.
