[pwd72s]

One fad I never did get...that is, people sporting HUGE and often gaudy/ugly wristwatches. A friend was gifted an Invicta like seen on the shopping TV shows...he wears it proudly. I don't have the heart to tell him what I think of it...

I just don't understand why people would think strapping something as large as an old alarm clock on their wrist looks cool. But then, I'm old...so I can remember back to the 60's when thin and smallish (34-37mm) mechanical watches were considered very cool. Ladies watches were really small then..amazing they could get accurate (sorta) movements in such small spaces. Cindy has a gold ladies Hamilton with some diamonds that was given to her mother by her father back in '57. Cost us more that it's worth to have it serviced, plus having a goldsmith replicate missing bracelet links and repair the clasp. However, it's priceless to Cindy for the memories & the inscription on the back. I'm amazed at the beauty and workmanship...
