Last time I put a gold (filled) bracelet and lugs on my 14k Omega 321, I got some definite Nays. But gold prices dropped a little, so I picked up this solid 14k brick bracelet to match my 14k Omega 321 Chrono. It also addresses some of the endlinks rubbing on the lugs concerns from previous. Feels like it dresses up this dress chrono even more.

Yah or Nay?

Beautiful watch. The bracelet is not my personal style, not what I would choose. I like these on leather, complimenting but not stealing attention from the watch.

Now that bracelet is elegant. Not for everyday, but special occasion, why not!

If you're headed to the Sands Hotel to see the Rat Pack it's a good choice.

Gold bracelet on a gold watch - yes. This combo especially - not my taste (the watch is great, the bracelet alone is also OK, but for something else).

The bracelet is nice, and they look good together, but IMO the combo is worse than the sum of the parts. But if it is your jam, I say rock it.

No, I'm not feeling that combination either. A clash of design styles IMHO.

I'm in the camp of "bracelet is very nice, watch is great, but they don't add up". I love the texture on the bracelet, but what bothers me is that right after the lugs, the bracelet is lacking about 4 mm in width. The impression for me is "that's a narrow strap that doesn't match a solid chronograph".

Now, if you put this bracelet on a thin rectangular watch like the one in my avatar, that would be gorgeous in my opinion.

Nay; to my eye, it’s an aesthetically discordant combination.

Either get an original Omega bracelet with proper end links or go with a neutral leather strap with texture of choice.

How about on this Omega Chrono...320. An older asthetic with rounded lugs to match the vintage bracelet. Actually looked better to me even though the watch is larger, but same lug size.

I think the bracelet is a bit too thin for the lug space. Nice bracelet, nice watch but I am not a fan of the combo. A leather strap that shows off the watch is more my style.
