Ironsave Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Great thread! Honestly; I have not owned a watch since the Casio calculator watch I had in high school in the early '90s. Recently; my Fiancee has mentioned this to me; and was poking around as to what style I like...... I may have to start a thread: "Best bang for buck watch?" lol...... Keep it coming.......

Audible Nectar Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Great thread! Honestly; I have not owned a watch since the Casio calculator watch I had in high school in the early '90s. Recently; my Fiancee has mentioned this to me; and was poking around as to what style I like...... I may have to start a thread: "Best bang for buck watch?" lol...... Keep it coming....... Best bang for the buck watch? My cellular telephone. My wife hinted at buying me a watch - or at least was trying to inquire if it was something I was interested in. I said "Nahhhh - it will just end up sitting in a drawer while it ages". I have a bit of a weird resistance to body jewelry. It just seems foreign - as if something is on my body that doesn't belong. When I was young (maybe 14), I was given a watch as a gift and could never get used to wearing it. I can't wear sunglasses either - the simple light weight on my nose and around the eyes gives me a headache. My wedding ring is the one item of jewelry I do wear, but only on occasion as it gets in the way of my work and is just too nice to trash it on the job. I have better uses for audio gears and Super Bowl tickets if you want to talk about expensive items I dream about..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shmoe Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Man! No response Eh I'll come clean.... the Brietling watch I posted is actually a fake I recieved from a friend a few years ago. I never wear it, but thought I would dig it out for this thread. I usually wear a black Fossil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, been away for a while, at watch forums [] I was about to say nice 'Ling, but something did not look quite right. I bought a fake Rolex in NYC from a guy on the street, just so I could say I did. He wanted $20 for it, we bought two for $35. I ran great for a long time. Easy to tell it was a fake, but I was not trying to pass it off as real. The fakes really crack me up. Don't bother me in the least. Sort of like a tribute band. I am loving my new watch. Going on two weeks almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have a bit of a weird resistance to body jewelry. It just seems foreign When I got married, I slipped her ring on (her) and she put mine on me. In 41 years, I had never worn rings or anything other than a watch. I knew I would not like wearing a wedding ring but, I was going to MAKE it happen. So now I'm out & about for several months with my new bling on my finger. Frankly, with my stubby little fingers, I thought it looked stupid. Interestingly one day, she said to me (bear in mind that she sells jewlery) "you know.... I don't really think your hands look right with a ring on them..... you know that you dont HAVE to wear that ring don't you?" I said that I was making all efforts to get accustomed to it. She went on to say.. "ok, let me be more clear.... frankly, I do not think that ring LOOKS good on you....your hands look better without rings on, I don't think you should wear it" hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Well.... I DID find myself being VERY self conscious of it.... and knew it held its own distractions for me as something foreign to my way of being. I don't remember the rest of the conversation but we'll just leave it at, she won. Today I don't wear it. Interestingly, just a couple weeks ago, I asked her where it was. She gave me a mumble mumble answer.... I said "I'll bet you sold it for the gold content" Though she laughed at my silly idea, it was a nervous laugh! 10 years later, I'm not sure either of us know where it is.
