Reader Poll: Diet Coke Break...Watch Him?

rolzoom.jpg

I hate jewelry. My fingers and wrists are so weak that strapping metal to them usually results in the inability to write, open door knobs or feed myself without the use of bendable straws... and I've gotten too old to wear friendship braclets.

However, it has come to my attention that nothing is sexier than a good watch--a lie I presume was started by the rolex corporation and various father's day gift peddlers.

What say you about jewerly on men? Is it time for me to get a watch? Aren't they redundant thanks to the meticulous time keeping of cell phones?

i say - forget the watch. get yourself a nice little scooter.

yeah, cause those are basically a watch with a slightly more powerful motor.

cell phones AREN'T sexy!
Men's watches can be sexy on women and vice versa...but scooter is INFINITLY more sexy than either.
I suggest a baby blue vespa with moderately baggy blue jeans and a groovy pair of sunglasses.

1. by "vice versa" do you mean that women's watches can be sexy on men? if so, i'm sold.

2. now i'm completely confused. i thought that skinny cut jeans were coming back.

In Praise of Cheap Watches

An upscale hotel's lore
Tells of illicit sedation
Designed for much much more
Than building of ease and rapport.

Preceded by drinks and tomfoolery,
With one eye for another's fine jewelry:
Le Coultre, Philippe, and Rolex.

Once the owner passed out on the floor,
There remained little more
Than to slip out the door.
A deserving predation, some could say
By an opportunistic habitué?

Depends on the guy and the watch they are/aren't wearing. Sometimes good and sometimes bad.

skip the watch and get a good pair of shoes.

but monday, you've always loved my shoes.... from the brown "old man" shoes to the orange shoe laces, i have heard nothing but compliments from you. i guess you mean "get ANOTHER good pair of shoes." aaaaah.

Are you smoking crack? Your shoes are appropriate for a high school teenager. to get a watch to match the look, it would have to involve cloth.

Cell phones are seriously declasse. If you want to impress someone, never get caught using one. Much less to tell the time.

I think you should take a page from flavr flav's book: http://www.culturekitchen.com/files/images/flavoroflove_0.png
