Stainless Buckle on a Gold-Tone Watch a Faux Pas?

[ctimrun]

I just picked up a gold-tone watch, and put a great new Panatime strap on it. The buckle on the strap is stainless, and thus silver in color. I'm leaning towards replacement with a gold-tone buckle.

I wouldn't, unless you spring for something thats actually a real gold plated buckle. Otherwise, the gold tone is going to wear pretty quickly and you'll be worse off than when you started.

Excellent point, thanks. Should I decide to replace, I'll be sure to get a real gold-plate buckle.

If there is gold on the watch



There should be gold on the buckle
