Do you believe that? Do you walk with an expensive piece at hand?

whiskeyman · 24-07-2015 09:22AM

I've no time for watches

kfallon · 24-07-2015 09:22AM

If it does then I'm no man at all!

kneemos · 24-07-2015 09:29AM

Quirky watches are interesting.Rolex's and the like are just slimy.

Robsweezie · 24-07-2015 09:30AM

what about the woman?! pig!!!!!!!

Wossack · 24-07-2015 09:34AM

is it not 'clothes maketh the man'..? your version sounds like some marketing bastardisation

The Backwards Man · 24-07-2015 09:35AM

A good timekeeper doesn't need a watch.

RichardCeann · 24-07-2015 09:36AM

I wear a ten bob job. It looks okay too. When I graduated, my ma bought me an expensive D&G watch. I've a few expensive lads, but too scared to wear them.

The simplest!

It's 'the suit makes the man'. How are you fitted?!?

My wife bought me a 'binary watch' as a gift

It looks cool but I have no idea what time it is

Manners maketh the man.

Though I'm a girl and don't even own a watch but if I did it'd probably be a mans heavy metal watch with a big face.

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

It's ALL about the accessories. Everything else is twaddle.

I need that watch in my life.

CFlat · 24-07-2015 10:06AM

I can honestly say I haven't worn a watch in over 20 years, maybe longer.

I'm not sure what that makes me, late?

It's awesome for confusing the sh1t out of people in pubs

Also, the day she got it for me, I went out for a few drinks but got delayed and could genuinely tell her that I lost track of time.

I dont wear one.. if I dont have a phone, pc or a car clock to refer to, I am generally pretty accurate guessing the time by looking at the length of shadows and the position of the sun. I can also navigate without a map when Im driving going by the sun's position.

I wear an Oris BC3. Nice watch, bought it many moons ago for a significant birthday. A nice watch is a must for me - something subtle though, plenty of tat about.

NachoBusiness · 24-07-2015 10:58AM

Yeah, it's my Dad watch, and would hate to lose it as he had it a long long time.

Remember once shortly after myself and my g/f moved out of our old flat, we realized that we had left it there. Well, it was her fault as I had asked to remember to bring it. So anyway I went back on my own. When I'm in the flat I decide to get something to eat and as I'm waiting for the toaster to pop, I find a fcuking Uzi just sitting on the kitchen table. As I'm looking at, the bathroom door opens and guy that looks like a fat, long haired, Tony Manero comes walking out holding a book. My toaster popped.

Those are some awesome very mild superpowers you've got there

the same exact thing happened to me!

Mr Freeze · 24-07-2015 11:09AM

Pocket watch all the way, tucked into my waste coat and chained to my monocle.

What a catch you say! Damn right!

Danjamin1 · 24-07-2015 11:09AM

I wear a nice watch, I've got a few. One for every day wear and another couple for occasional wear.
