    I'm not into watches: I don't even wear one. Those watches are, however, very nice. I like them.

    Fragony is going to rock up now and post a picture of his solid platinum, diamond encrusted Cartier.

    As for me-I love everything associated with men's style, so those watches make me drool. At the moment I can't afford anything like that, so I just make do with a cheap leather-banded thing that looks dressy, and is appropriate in most situations. One day, though...

    I do have a large number of pairs of cufflinks.

    I have a swiss army watch. Unlike the fancy watches, it'll never stop running.

    You forgot about him telling how the diamond version Motorola SLVR L7 will be completing one man's ideal accessory list.

    shower, but a more modest one. I lack the hot water supply for the coolest functions, could change that but then 'the boiler' would take too much space in my kitchen, it's a small place and I need all the room I can get.

    My watch looks expensive, but really cost only €100. Excellent cost-benefit exchange

    I had never seen so many watches as there were at the Singapore markets. All "genuine" the shop keepers assured us, and all under $15.

    My friend got a counterfit swiss watch just for the novetly of it, and when we looked at it any fool could tell it was a fake, it just looked good from a distance.
