    Feel free to talk me out of it anytime -- sometimes I specifically ask for watches to be bashed.

    Well, it's your Birthday today. Technically, you are one year older. Time for a set of gilt hands, I suppose.

    My watches come with guilt every time I buy one.
    ohh... different spelling. Nevermind.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    These are just numbers, how young you feel is what matters.

    Yeah, yeah, that's what people use to say when they're already of a certain age.

    The problem starts when the brain - happily - keeps its youth and the body painfully disagrees.

    Yes, I know what I'm talking about.

    I think it can pass as casual wear, not exclusively a dress watch, right? Any way to dress it down so that it doesn't too much out of place with, say, a hoodie and jeans or cargo pants? I'm thinking, would nylon or perlon do the trick? Edit: or canvas, or just flat leather?
