I was in meetings today, one of my relatively rare shirt sleeve days in the Summer, so I was wearing my slim, trim Ball Eternity on a strap. I have become pretty fond of the watch itself-- a classic look and nice size at 39.5mm. Then, I looked for a long time at what else was on the left arm.
Almost 26 years in residence, it's not changing or going anywhere. I looked a little longer...
The starkness of the contrast between ring and watch color struck me, then bothered me. I looked around the conference table. Stainless steel watches and white gold wedding bands, every one of them.
I owned cheap two-tones but since moving to nice watches and have worn stainless for years, never really paid that much attention. Okay, a little, and when my wife did tell mea year ago she liked the watches which matched my ring, it did make some sense. Maybe I was just so smitten with the watch that I chose to ignore the contrast. Maybe its just the contrast with the style and all-black look of this particular piece. Maybe I should have been wearing two-tone all along. Maybe I'm wildly overreacting. But it just looked off today.
So, those of you who have a ring upon you, how much does it matter to you relative to your watch?

Now that I just gotta see!
