Men wearing jewellery. Where do you stand?

The other week I was watching the Formula one post race interviews and saw Lewis Hamilton wearing large diamond earrings and a gold chain so huge you could moor up a ship with it! It pained me as an English man, but I thought he looked ridiculous.

This got me thinking. Jenson Button, another F1 driver, was quoted once that a man should only wear 2 items of jewellery – a watch and a wedding ring. I must admit that this is a lot closer to my way of thinking but I’m a white 50 year old man…

Fellow Sinners: what watch are you wearing today that’s not a Sinn?

All of us on this forum love our Sinns. My 103 and 756 are my most worn watches, yet sometimes I feel like wearing something different. Among fans of Sinn, what are the other watches you wear that you like just as much as your Sinns?

I thought that since most of us on here have similar taste, this might give us a good idea of other watch brands / models to check out.

I’ll start: Oris Divers Sixty Five…
