Matching watch to metal accents / hardware?

Quick question for folks here: Can I mix and match the color of my watch with the color of metal accents (belt buckle, shoe bit on loafer / driver) on other stuff I wear.

I collect high-end watches, but have only purchased stainless, in part b/c of affordability and in part b/c gold / rose gold feels a bit flashy at my age / for my style...

Given, the above should I only buy belts with silver or chrome buckles? Similarly, if I'm buying driving shoes or loafers (found some nice Tod's on sale), does it matter if they have a gold bit buckle?

You dont have to. Match metal color of watch to belt buckle or anything else just like a leather watch band doesnt have to match shoe or belt leather. It is perfectly fine to have sreel watch and brass belt buckle
