So what do you guys think of gold bracelets and steel watches? The bracelet on the other arm ofcourse I’m not an animal.

I’m kinda old fashioned so it feels like a no-no for me. The dilemma is my families men have always worn gold bracelets (and pinkyrings but im gonna skip those…) and I’d like to keep the tradition going.

Thing is my father, grandfather and uncles all wore either gold or two tone watches. Gramps goes straight up Tony Soprano style. Others wear things like a gold cartier tank on a strap or a two tone DJ.

I either wear a vintage stainless DJ, something a bit more sporty like a explorer, tudor bb36 or a steel colored cartier tank. Also not yet married so no gold weddingring on my watchhand.

To me a gold bracelet on the other wrist feels off with all of those. Any advice and or opinions?

    At first I would not think so much about it: If you want to wear it you should do it! Fashion rules are there to know them and to - sometimes - break them if they don‘t suit you.

    If you wan‘t to meet in the middle: why not a bracelet out of white gold?

    Wear what makes you feel good. I always have a watch on my left and a paracord bracelet my son made me while he was in the hospital on my right. Reminds me of what is important and what is not important, including other people’s opinions.

    Heirlooms and other items with strong personal meaning are exempt from matching guidelines. This is because if anyone ever asks about it you’ve got a great story to tell them.

    Family tradition vs ephemeral style rules: family tradition always wins.

    Don’t worry about mixing your metals. If anyone gives you shit about it, shrug and say “family tradition, I’m so lucky to have a great family.” Ask what family traditions they have…
