Black metal bracelet with gold bezel watch?
Has anyone tried gold finish watches on a black metal bracelet? Did you like it? Do you have photos?
Either a link bracelet, or mesh.
For comfort, I prefer link bracelets or a mesh strap over leather or NATO..
I have some gold finish watches and I'm considering trying this.
I find gold a bit ostentatious, especially when there's a big gold bracelet involved.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

This is the watch, as purchased with aftermarket stainless, gold tone finish bracelet. Further below is the bracelet I ordered for it today. I don't often see digitals here, but I've become a bit of a Bulova guy.
This is the incoming bracelet. By PluWatch, ordered from Amazon. Probably available elsewhere also.

i'm trying to imagine that particular combination however my own view is i would never match up a cool vintage piece with a modern bracelet of any kind -one does not do that and i notice the clasp release is white metal so double no for gold tone match

be interesting that was not the watch I would have thought of when asked the question but can see the black dial edge being the point so it will either look strange very right or very very wrong
but got to be honest with that one think would leave as is really as it's a bit of a classic and some tend to get a bit sad when they are played with

That would indeed be nice. However it could require opening the wallet and turning it upside down so that everything falls out.
I think nobody would bat an eyelash at a gold tone watch with a black leather band. Black metal might work.
I've been considering a black bracelet on gold tone watches for a while, mostly because I really like bracelets and don't like a whole lot of gold. I decided to try it. This one is 20 mm, so if it turns out badly, I should eventually be able to use the bracelet on another watch.

although vintage digital watches are historically presented on bracelets -i have worn mine on aged leather and they are extremely dressy on such with the hidden lugs -if you really want to change it up that Bulova would look superb on a vintage brown [or black] leather with a gold tone buckle of course
