I used to wear a watch constantly, and then about 6 months ago I found myself without one - a strap had worn out on my favourite, the battery was gone on the back up, I couldn't find another, and I wasn't wearing waistcoats anymore so I didn't wear my pocket watch - I realised that my phone has a clock, though, and if I really needed to know the time I could look at that. Presto, a minor liberation!

If I go to New York this spring, though, I will buy another fake rolex since I like the idea of wearing one on many levels...

I am loving the whole waistcoast pocket watch idea. How sad you don't do that anymore :(

I might go back to wearing them, don't worry - and I still have the pocket watch.
