# you'll notice the watch on the pic only had the three buttons
it was a sort of halfway house - three buttons as opposed to 2 meant you had a stopwatch, but if you wanted to be ultra-showoff you had the 4 button version (back in 1979 this is)that proved you were cool. Or at least that's what the 4-buttoners told us 3-buttoners back in the day. But we all looked with disdain back on the 2- and no-buttoners.

# My watch has
no buttons. It's round and only tells the current time. WHAT SORT OF VICTORIAN NONSENSE IS THAT?

# I've had no watch for years, mainly because of work
they worry you'll tear great rending scratches in the paintwork, so I just guess the time. I'm usually right to within 1/4 of an hour

# Actually
my previous post was a complete lie. I don't wear a watch either (I just wanted to fit in) but I haven't really seen the need for one, and it makes
one arm slightly heavier than the other, which surely should cause some sort of lopsided gait. SURELY?

# can't you balance it out
with some Elizabeth Duke trashy bling chain and some sovereign rings, then you gain a symmetrical pose like a knuckle-dragging neanderthal and at the same time gain forearms like Popeyes'?

# Good plan.
Or I could just superglue a lot of heavy coinage to my hand
