Thanks, God! Wow, your folks must have either been very eccentric or wanted to toughen you up with THAT name. It's a great forum, and seems to embrace the odd digression from horological purism, which is nice. I feel very welcome.

Back to this nice new watch of mine. I want to take a straw-poll here.
Is there a limit to the contrived and affected wrist/arm positions that can be employed so as to allow strangers and friends the opportuntiy of admiring a new watch? I have done so much left-handed chin stroking over the last week, I am getting a nasty rash. I have also told an implausible number of stories that have involved the teller pointing his watch (in the third person, mind you) at onlookers as a seamless visual part of an entertaining or enlightening story about aircraft arrivals in foreign countries and so on. I have also attended an untold number of dermatologists' appointments just so I can move the watch, slowly and deliberately, to show them the obviously benign freckle that lies underneath. My question to the group is this: where are the limits for maoeuvres that can be deployed in the name of displaying a watch? Using the above as starting points, can we find where that limit lies? |

Just to clarify; when I said I hadn't had a soap incident in a shower for 25 years, I was making specific and exclusive reference to watches' waterproofedness. On re-reading the post, I can undersatnd that some people, especially those who went to boarding school, may have been uncomfortable with the level of self-disclosure here.

I rotate the extreme sporting activity in my story to suit my mood. I'm finding the watch is finally getting noticed. I didn't plan for the break to be compound, but then, you can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs. |

Well, thanks Allan. I know bugger-all about watches, but am learning. While I learn, I'll just indulge one of my other hobbies, which is taking the piss out of myself.
