Do you guys with gold wedding bands wear SS watches?

Sounds kind of OCD, but I have a real hard time wearing all SS watches with my gold wedding band. I think that's why i've mainly stayed vintage with gilt dials and gold hands. I prefer two-tone, but the gold always seem to tarnish or wear off, and a good gold bracelet is $750 and up (maybe someday for a grail build). I know I'm missing out on a lot of great watches. Does anyone other than me really care? I think that's why I'm holding off on a TC...

I am OCD for that as well. But I'm the opposite, I have a SS wedding band and would not be able to wear a gold watch.
Have you thought about getting a second wedding band?

lol. the "let's get nekkid" look would be best. but yes, changing wedding rings probably not a good idea most of the time. unless she really doesn't mind. I'm not a gold person, so my wedding ring was silver, and I would do a two tone but mostly my watches are always stainless. I really don't see an issue of wearing a stainless watch with a gold ring, but I can see where some people would not. You can always wear your watch on your other wrist. Actually I do that once in awhile just for a change.

I wear a tungsten carbide ring. No thought is given whether or not my watches match with it.

I don't wear gold at all. I am even uncomfortable wearing a pen with gold fixtures.

The Prophet told us "A man who wears gold and silk in this life will not wear gold and silk in the next." I realize this was really a condemnation of conspicuous consumption in the face of poverty; but I am still aware of the letter of the law, along with its spirit.

I have a yellow gold and a platinum wedding band, but no gold watches. I do try and match, but I wear the gold ring a lot more than the platinum, because it was about 10% of the price (much thinner, non designer) and much more comfortable. Having a yellow gold ring definitely makes me want a gold watch, but I don't really like buying rep "gold" watches.

i only really care about matching when getting dressed up, and in that case it's always platinum band and SS watch.

I wear a platinum (silver) wedding ring. If I wear a gold watch, I put it on my right hand.

I always match metals. Watch, wedding band, and belt buckle. My OCD is so bad I have 4 wedding bands. Wife has OCD too so she is cool with it [emoji41]Brushed stainless or gold for sport watches, polished platinum or gold for dress watches. Same with belt buckles, try to match color and texture.
I know it's pathetic but the truth...

You guys spend too much time thinking :rofl: but might try that one as an excuse 'wearing my stainless watch tonight dear, so can't possibly wear my gold wedding ring' :thinking:

Just have a tungsten ring and wear SS or good watches with it. But now I'm starting to second guess myself. Thanks a lot you jerks!

Wear the watch on the right wrist, not left. Bingo, problem solved.
