Ha! I'm glad there's a place for those who have to cope with this sickness.

You don't need to take it off at the airport. I walk through the metal detector with it on and I'm fine. Do it all the time. Just need to empty pockets is all. Also, I leave my belt on.

This has always puzzled me however. I have set off the metal detector before b/c I had a piece of chewing gum foil in my pocket. But my big SS watch doesn't set it off!!!!

Some of you might call it the vest which is an undergarment worn under your shirt - it's usually white in colour and could come with or without sleeves!!

Kinda like Bruce Willis wore in the Die Hard movies, or do a quick google for pictures of one of Scotland finest. Rab C Nesbitt. A true model of the "simmet" wearer.

Usually, mine is always on. Of course, I rest my wrist/watch band on the mouse pad so it does not get scratched.

Your life seems ripe for a cineplex . . . What about a course in "Underwater Fingersnapping?" Try this for an activity - next time your girlfriend washes her hair, sit behind her and watch it dry. Finally, consider going to Tide's web site to read up on "sudsing action." Your life sounds action-packed, little mister.

Yep. I have a watch on 24/7. 90% of the time it's my 16610 .The other 10 are split between my Black Monster and my Hamilton

I would wear mine while surfing TRF, but its at Rolex getting repaired. Thank the stars that I own a small jewellry shop so i get the repairs at cost.

I cant wait for the Sea Dwller to come home to papa... I miss it dearly, and I walk unbalanced as I am missing 163 grams on my left wrist

Lighten up, Dalton, no harm was intended, you asked a light-hearted question and got a light-hearted response.

it's funny how a single emoticon can say so much. Gotta love it. No offense taken and I wasn't really bothered by your comment, that's why I didn't say anything.
