Now, if he'd excluded me from the list of the greatest boobs of all time, then I'd be insulted.

So you accept the challenge?

there was a woman whose name reminds me now of "less" and she was pretty randy, any clue? and Thrasher's fan maybe was still here? IIRC RT and fringe did not take part.

She has shown enough that there's not much left to the imagination (see-through shirts, wet t-shirts...that's as far as I got when I finished).

I understand there are creams for that.

Actual Fashion Question:

I just got out of a meeting with about six other people. Many of my younger male colleagues apparently now wear timepieces only maginally smaller than those generally seen on Flavor Flav. I tend to dress "old school," and I think these shot-put sized watches scream "Look at me! I have a shiny new toy! It can tell you the time on an island Less has never been to!"

I've got a modest collection of watches that have personal meaning, the largerst of which is a 1969 Zodiac. It is smaller than a typical men's Omega. I like wearing a distinctive watch. I get the watch as "statement." I just don't like the statement a watch the diameter of a coffe cup makes. So:

Oversized watches: A style that has some chance of lasting? Bad fad?

Feeling like an olde phart,

I thought the young 'uns stopped wearing watches, around the time they gave up home phones.

That has been an unfortunate part of the high-end watch market for the several years. Panerai, TAG, and, yes, Zenith, have been the biggest (npi) offenders. I put it down to the same insecurity that causes some men to jack up their pickup trucks, date women younger than their daughters, and buy Italian sportscars that cost more than the average house in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Stick to your older watches, Ferrets. You don't need that sort of validation.

This is part of the "validation" that just says, I have cash to spend and nothing better to spend it on. Ferrets, IF you need this validation, and some people do, I would suggest just two words in order to help you better spend your money: Trophy Wife.

Perhaps both.

I find the large watches annoying because they don't fit under cuffs, so my shirt would ride up my wrist.

For TM's sake, I will refrain from answering this question.

Thank you, my imaginary friends. As to some of the comments, I'm way past the need for validation, and my spouse, an attorney of skill, cunning, and ruthlessness, says that she IS the Trophy Wife. I believe her.

Yours in sensible timepieces, wearing his father's 1938 Hamilton Tank, a high school graduation watch,

Now that is a watch to be coveted. It has a story that doesn't begin and end with "I got this sick bonus...."

There is a story to most of my watches. Thus, click on the first picture here for an excellent shot of my Zodiac.

There is a story to most of my watches, too. Here's the story:

My wife bought me a watch.
