DOES ANYBODY STILL WEAR WRISTWATCHES? WHY

Goddammit.


This really sucks.



Now I hafta [size=7]admire][/size] the bloody man for something again.



Life sucks.

Bought a new wristwatch a couple of month ago and just now relised that it only lost one second within these four months.

Well, it's a Pulsar, a brand bought by Seiko.

But I do have a cell phone - don't use it quite often, however, and thus realised yesterday that I got four SMS and three calls were waiting in the mailbox


(I'm glad, I differ a lot to Tico :wink: )

I wear a wristwatch coz it looks nice and it more convenient to easily looke at than getting my phone out, soppose i could strap my phone to my wrist.

hamburger, Im an old auction "reat". We have lots of antique auctions aroun d here and I love the "ephemera" tables where they place the old ledgers and timebooks, school writing journals and penmanship journals( some of the handwriting was fancy calligraphy script). One of the greatest foms of historical records are old deeds because they described in great detail the contents and the life and wishes of the sellor (usually deceased). In those old deeds, it was the habit, if the husband dies, to sell off everything except certain property that belonged to the wife. This money was to be used to "take care " of the widow, but, in old Quaker style, the woman actually could not inherit the property.

Oh yeah, here's another idea of how you can check the time on your cell while a meetings going on.

If it's going to be a meeting where you'll mostly be sitting, put the cell phone facing up, between your legs.

Then, if you need to check the time, just spread your legs a little and look down.

That way, everyone will just think you're looking at your genitals.

I like that.

I remember this one, kinda similar....

A man was asked by a customer service rep to spell out his last name....

ok, says the man, that would be....

S as in Sneaker
M as in Mundane
I as in Idaho
T as in Tangle
H as in Horatio

The CSR asked "T as in what?"

I wear a digital wristwatch while I'm jogging.
But I really only need the calendar function.

I carry a wristwatch in my pocket but haven't actually worn one in years.

Thats the same line they reserve for Warthog pilots. The plane doesnt even have a clock on the dash, they, instead installed a calendar.

Warthog, eh?
Slow and heavy, but more than likely to make the return trip.
I'll take that.

During the first Gulf War, one of those A-10s returned to base in Saudia Arabia with more than 300 flak holes in it--and the pilot got out to show the damage to the reporters . . .

dont ever get one of em pissed at you. That chain gun can mow a football field in a few seconds

I gotta buncha watches - usually wear a Seiko chronograph - its accurate and apparently nearly indestructible; its about 10 years old now. Its waterproof to 100 meters, and I generally don't take it off unless I'm poking around electricity ... if it stays on my wrist, its less likely to get lost. I've got a Tag-Huer I wear mostly when I'm flying - it has some functions specifically for that, and its convenient. I have some tony, pricey dress-up watches too - gifts, all of 'em, and none of 'em keep time worth a damn.

Oh, and I'll agree w/Set about the Victorinox/Swiss Army watches; very dependable and quit rugged. My brother favors them, and he's rougher on watches than I am.

I think I'm addicted to knowing the time. I wear a watch when I'm not at home, and there's a clock or two in every room. I currently have a Fossil watch, but have gone thru a lot of Casios.

Sometimes I force myself to not wear my watch, just to be sure I won't have withdrawal symptoms.

I think it all started with a former career of mine, when I had to constantly know the time and keep track of the daily schedules of everyone I worked with. If someone asked me how many minutes to the next break, I needed to know that precisely. It got to be a habit, I guess.

The next watch I'll buy is a simple one from 'Glashütte' - but since the prize for such is from $ 10,000 upwards that will last until it happens. :wink:

You have cash to splash, Walter? That's a very expensive treat!

I suppose, therefore it will never happen - it's just a dream.

It did seem rather out of character, Walter. Just call me gullible!

Gullible.

walter : here is your watch. you can pick it up at ferdinand adoph lange in glashuette; tell them i'm good for the money ! hbg
