I thought I was the only PHer sad enough to match his watch and cufflinks.
I don't go mad but I have several pairs of Chopard cufflinks (Mille Miglia rhodium & rubber to match my MM & smoked chrome gear knobs).I'm after a set of non tag branded ones too.
I wear a uniform for work so like nice clothes when I'm off duty.

I think the high-end watch houses are slowly coming round to the fact that there is a market for accessories that complement their timepieces. They are slowly becoming more and more popular with varying degrees of success, though I do think cufflinks are the only accessory most men can get away with aside from a watch and wedding ring.

It wasn't a criticism at all, I'm just glad it's not only me that does it.

Patek always had them, but I thought the price was a bit wild, even on eBay!!!I think the high-end watch houses are slowly coming round to the fact that there is a market for accessories that complement their timepieces.

Had this for some time(nearly two years!) but not got around to wearing it. Took the stickers off last night.
Seriously, if you bought a Rolex and didn't get around to wearing it for TWO YEARS! Then you really did buy the wrong watch. A Rolex should be a special once in a lifetime purchase.I bought my Rolex (a stainless GMT) new back in 1996 after receiving my first decent bonus, I'm sure I wore it home from the Jewellers and it's been pretty much been glued to my wrist ever since.

I also have a pair of stainless AP cufflinks which were very much an impulse purchase from the same AD. I had never seen any for sale and I haven't seen any since either so I am very pleased I did as I would have always regretted letting somebody else have them.

I have those ones, except mine are yellow gold. I bought them from an AD years ago, before the silly price hikes so they were a fraction of that price (and new).

They are really nice. If they were a half sensible price I'd buy some, not that I ever wear cufflinks or even dress shirts for that matter, But still I really like the PP calatrava cross design.I also have a pair of stainless AP cufflinks which were very much an impulse purchase from the same AD.

Well done for buying before the price madness - I sometimes think most of the worlds quantitative easing has gone into luxury watches when I rationally consider the prices sometimes!!
Something completely worthless from a financial perspective but mean a lot personally - this watch, badged prodrive and subaru world rally championship, that I was given as a 12th birthday present by a friend of my parents who purportedly knew Richard Burns well. Found it recently in a drawer and can't help but smile when I wear it!
