My husband isn't small built but he has quite slim wrist and the oversized watches look like the horological equivalent of clown shoes on him. Horrid.

No, not really.
I have to wear the larger size watches or it looks odd, but hate the bling and oversized ones.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

i meant for women. men shouldn't wear jewellery of any form (except perhaps cufflinks). especially those stupid gold neck chain things. anyone caught wearing one of those should be vigorously beaten and then chucked in a pit.0 -

Mrs McT rarely wears any jewellery at all other than her wedding ring and watch.men shouldn't wear jewellery of any form (except perhaps cufflinks).
I think men can get away with a watch, cufflinks, and a wedding band.

Would you wear a wedding ring?Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Tin pins? Collar and shirt studs?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
also on the subject of watches, it irritates me that no-one seems to make left handed watches. obviously it doesn't irritate me that much as i don't wear one anyway.0

right handed people should be grateful for left handed people as without the lefties all dying early the aging population issues would be that much worse. your tax rate is probably a couple of percent lower thanks to us.0
