Do you stack your VCA 5 motifs with Watches?

Honestly, I wouldn’t. But that’s just me! I’ve seen many people on social media do it. Not as many irl. If you’re wearing a SPS 5 motif, I would say definitely don’t. But that’s in regards to the bracelet… If you stack pieces, inevitably they will scratch each other. I think the only way to avoid it might be to have both pieces sized so snug that there is no more movement at all. If you want to protect the watch, I’d wear the 5 motif on your other wrist.
I sometimes stack with my watch. The key is to shorten bracelets so that they don’t move
I stacked my DJ with my 5 motif and never again. Looked beautiful together but noticed the scratches the next day in bright light. I know scratches are inevitable but they still hurt a bit.

Yes you have to have wear bracelets really snug to minimize movement. This prevents watch from getting scratched.
I will try that but I don’t want to have them resized so I sometimes will twist a motif to tighten. Thanks for the advice!!🙏🏽
Don't do it. Scratches both things. I'm really not sure why people stack bracelets with their timepieces. The only watches that are scratch resistant are ceramic, and only if you're not hitting them with any diamonds.
No, not anymore. I used to stack my David Yurman bracelets with my watch but, that stopped when I upgraded my watches and as I switched more to 18 kt gold bracelets.
Personally, I wouldn't! I value my AP watches as much as my VCA bracelets/bangles. This is the main reason that I need to change the length of my 5 motifs to be worn on my right hand while now I am wearing my watch on my left hand. I even never stack my 5 motifs altogether.
My Rolex is usually the only thing on my left arm. My five motifs go on my right. I love the stacked look though, and will do it once in a blue moon, when I’m feeling reckless.
Maybe I am the minority here who don’t like to stack my jewelry at all. I just feel stacking everything will make the final look too “busy” looking. It’s a personal preference but I prefer to focus/admire the beauty of my jewelry one at a time
At least different piece on my right or my left hand, 1 pendant or necklace (but not both) and statement earrings!

I think I may have once, but it’s not for me. One, I’m OCD about scratching, so I tried putting something between the two pieces so they wouldn’t hit each other, but the best I could come up with was a very nice looking hairband, which looked terrible (ah, there’s money to be made in producing beautiful barrier bracelets!); two, I don’t like the way the 5-motif (a relatively light bracelet) feels next to the much heavier watch. I love the look, but I guess it only works if you keep your arm horizontal and never move it.
