As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Watches with sex appeal

Post by BostonCharlie »

If this isn't the elephant in the room, maybe it should be. ;-)

A friend reported having a friend who, over time, had owned and driven various exotic and luxury cars. He was single, and he was surprised that among these cars his Jaguar was the car that evoked the most positive response from women.

Is there a men's watch brand or model with exceptional sway over women?

My guess is no. The only "nice" watch brand most people have heard of is Rolex. I suppose if someone were just interested in another person's money, a Rolex might impress them. Though honestly I bet the average person would underestimate the cost of a rolex, especially when you get into Daytona territory.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I'd also think no.

I think women want to see that a man looks well put together.

They'll recognize the Rolex name, but, as with most non-WIS, wouldn't really know any other brands or even iconic models, and therefore, beyond Rolex, wouldn't ascribe much meaning to any brand or model in particular. Even then, Rolex might come across as douchey or unimaginative.

So, I would think there'd be some sex appeal in looking sharp with with a watch, but probably not much beyond that rather basic level of attraction.

Good points about Rolex. For some reason I also think of a Cartier tank as having easily recognized cachet. Maybe less douchey ;-)

Your points recall this dating advice from Humphrey Bogart (as Rick) to Woody Allen:

In the movie Priceless (French title: Hors de prix), poor, young Jean receives this watch from his wealthy 'companion' Madeline. A token of affection or of ownership? Later, the story turns on this watch. Anyhow, it might represent what an older, fashion-conscious French woman would choose for her boyfriend.

If there is a good-back rub-watch, send me a link, please.

Wifey prefers pilot and field watch designs. Mine and hers, interestingly enough. So I guess they cancel each other out.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

This pains me to do as a lifelong fan, but here goes.
Back rub watch you say? It seems the Hublot MDM in 18k gold is the choice of those with "experience"

Given your expertise, I'd be interested in hearing whether you think there's a good "Back Rubb" watch. ;)

Kraft is certainly used to many happy endings, so there's that. :P

I'd honestly expect something more expensive (and less ugly) from Kraft.

Kraft’s watch clashes gruesomely with those cuff links from hell. No dress sense whatsoever.

With the revelations that have come to light about Kraft, his choice in accessories is exactly what I expected.
