offshore Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 ... Is it too silly to go out of the house like this? Opinions please... Yep!.. Silly, and how would you be able to wipe your nose
KB Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Veni I have never lied to you and I'm not about to start now.................Yes it does look too silly to go out of the house like that. :yucky: Ken
dadog13 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 it is kind of GHETTO STYLE...i would expect Puff Daddy or 50 cent wear a watch like that...just that their would be genuine and BLING BLING!
M3Vert Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I like it! It's unique and I'm all for that. Steve I've seen a photo with a Pam over the sleave and quite liked it... Is it too silly to go out of the house like this? Opinions please...
V Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Posted May 17, 2006 Ok.. ok I got the feelings This is the original photo btw:
V Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Posted May 17, 2006 Also... Audemars Piget suggest to T3 owners to wear their watch over their sleeve... Maybe because it is HUGE and there is no other way to wear it
ubiquitous Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I've seen pictures of Ralph Lauren wearing his 2/56 Egiziano over the sleeve of his leather jacket before...

Thor Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Seen in the last time several people (80% women) wearing their watches on the sleeve... personaly i dislike it... but you have to know yourself if you feel comfartable with it or not...
V Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Posted May 17, 2006 More in the subject... from an article on Panerai To wear a big watch, though, certain logistical hurdles have to be cleared. Sometimes it’s hard to get your shirt cuff over the watch. An obvious issue to the shirt wearers, but really I assume that if you are into this kind of thing, one would hardly cover it, indeed Ralph Lauren agrees. At a recent fashion show in Milan, Lauren wore his Panerai over the sleeve of a leather jacket. "It wasn’t ridiculous," Lauren said. But the idea of a watch so big that it has to be strapped over clothing sends some traditionalists into fits. From another article about watches: This seems to be part of the larger discussion about oversized watches vs. the more traditional sub-40mm mens watch size. Perhaps in 15 years people will be arguing about those new gawd-awful 38mm watches that are so out of proportion with the standard 46 mm JLC Extreme World Chonograph. What about strapping those big honkin’ chronos on the “outside” of one’s shirt sleeve? In a couple of decades this could be traditional. Be the change.
swdivad Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I think it looks wanky... like you're trying to show everyone your watch.... LOOK AT ME... I HAVE A (FAKE) PANERAI ON!!! (jumping up and down putting your watch in their face)
Dani Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I did not like the way it looked at all. Just my 2nok
SubFrog Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 It's like wearing dark sunglasses inside just to be cool. Yes, It's silly.
longshot Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I think it would be fine in Europe But in the US, no... We Americans generally have zero fashion sense. But then what do I know, I wear my Utilikilts in public
exper Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 I saw that the VP of Cartier UK also wears it over the sleeve but he says its just to show peple how proud I am of my watch. Not sure it would work for us so don't do it
V Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Posted May 17, 2006 Ok.. we can take away the fact that the watch is a rep... If it was a genuine same opinions?
swdivad Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Ok.. we can take away the fact that the watch is a rep... If it was a genuine same opinions? :yucky: still tacky IMO
pubus Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Id wear my watch over the sleve only if it was freezing cold winter time and the sleve would be my winter jacket one. I wouldnt have to pop up my sleve to see whats the time Otherwise it looks pretty silly
flyback Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 gianni agnielli (ceo of fiat and ferrari) was wearing his watch like this. jean cocteau too. it's a master of taste. i like this way of wearing if the color of the strap is the same as the color of the garment.
Finepics Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Asking to be mugged for it, looks terrible (I would have to make out not to know you if I saw you!!). That Eigiziano sure needs a re-lume.
Indyclmbr Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Not the look for me. I wear my altimeter watch on the outside of my sleeve when I'm climbing/running in cold weather. Other than that, the watch stays under my sleeve. Of course, you could always roll the sleeve up a bit or push them up the the middle of your forearm. Climb on.
