A community for watch & horology discussion.
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…
