your watch strap doesnt really have a relationship like shoe colour and belt colour ya know?

No one will go bananas? It seems I will.

Whatever, I'm not trying to discuss straps here. A watch face shape and a watch face color are the things of my concern now.

I think it's a good idea. However, there are many watches that are neither silver nor gold. For instance, the face of my watch is white, yet the rim is gold.

First off, the watch strap color should match the color of my leather shoes, leather waist belt, and leather bag (they are all brown of the different shades).

What else?

What about the watch face shape? How should the watch shape correlate with the type of my own face?

What about the watch face color? What about the watch face rim? What should they match?


You'll have difficulty finding a troll-faced watch.

What's your problem with quartz? Even Rolex have quartz models.
