Interesting sig, Robert.. something the matter?

As for this watch, wow, how hideously expensive. Nice enough watch though. I'd question the value proposition, but hey, for a limited edition of 7, I'm sure they'll find their way to the man who has everything (short of a $1.5m watch).

A rose gold watch sounds nice, I'm not very fond of gold watches. I prefer stainless steel, or titanium. I'm wondering about the comfort and effectiveness of a leather band, too. I much prefer the look of an all-metal bracelet, although it would add to the weight.

Maybe that's one reason why I don't really like wearing my watch. However, I just prefer the feeling of being free of encumbrance. At the moment it's just some cheapie watch; but I wouldn't mind getting a new one. Nothing like this Vacheron Constantin - more like something less than AUS$300, and I do like the current trend of square or rectangular faces. Something simple and elegant, and I like the dark face ones.

I second what Luw said about it being more proper to use your watch to keep track of time, and not your watch. However, sometimes I don't really care - Australia is reasonably laid back anyhow.

Jewellery for men is becoming more common - and a watch is a pretty 'safe' way of expressing your personality in jewellery for a man. But apart from watches, often I find men's jewellery all along the same theme, a bit of a hackneyed repetition and no innovation. It's token stuff, just so that you can say that men have jewellery. I don't like it that much anyway, but I do find the appearance in shop windows quite interesting.
