Oh, NOW you're saying 36mm is unisex. You have persistantly been adamant about proclaiming that 36mm is now the womans size.
There IS a right answer here. It has already been answered well by several people here.

He is right... We're all just lesbians... All of us even the boys. That's the answer

Funny thing is - a very lesbian coworker just walked by and she has on a tiny feminine watch with her flannel shirt. I swear on my SD!!

Couldn't you see an ad from Rolex (Jocke, you listening?) with a man wearing a DJ, and woman wearing a Deep Sea, and the text below:

So, who wears the pants in your family?

I certainly don't have a problem with women wearing a 40mm "mens" watch. Just look at Jen. Her SD looks great on her. That's the current trend. But that doesn't mean the 36mm "magically" becomes a womans watch. There IS a correct answer, and you just answered it.

Oh, dear. This is so confusing. Lesbian women wear ladies' watches. Straight women wear men's watches. Okay, I think I got that. Now, since I wear a 34mm Date, that must make me either bisexual or perhaps of ambiguous orientation.

I think I'd better hide in the closet until someone can advise me about what watch I should be wearing.

The Horological Gender Police will set you straight...in more ways than one.

My wife wears a Datejust 11600 Rhodium as a daily and thinks it is too small. Lets face it, except for a few examples out there, watches have been on the small side since the 70's

I caught my wife with my NATO GMT on the other night. Said she wanted to see how it wore. I actually kinda liked the way it looked. I told her she could wear it whenever she wanted.

So he just says, "hmm. Well I've never seen one on a lady before, but now that I do, it sure looks like a ladies size."

You can PM me for the restaurant name and location if you'd like to round up a lynch mob
Jen you started something with this thread!!!!
I will be in JAX on Monday for work and will wear my SD.
Get your lynch mob together and we will see if he likes the SD on me or you after we rough him up? I think he will choose you!!!
You look great with the SD like the rest of the TRF women who choose to wear a 36-40mm watch.

Lisa, why are you making it hard?

Come on out of the closet... You could just be a silly lesbian like me

Heck, I got put in and thrown out of the closet all in one today! And I never even knew I was in it

I really don't have a clue where you're coming from. You have been on a rant for weeks (months?) to the effect that a 36 mm Rolex watch is now a ladies size; that Rolex announced that as a fact at Basel; that men's size starts at 42 mm; and people have been saying over and over again that it isn't so, that that is not what Rolex announced at Basel, that women can wear what they want and what fits them best, etc., etc., and etc., but you keep saying over and over again that 36 mmm is a ladies watch; and now you are suddenly saying such watches are unisex as if that is what you have been saying all along.

Lisa, you are so right!

I'm storing all my Rolex watches in my safe and going into therapy. Why did I choose the watches I chose and what does it say about me as a man???

Don't listen to them Jen, more women should wear Sea-Dwellers, that way they can time the cooking while doing the dishes

We can discuss all day long who wears what size watch, and certainly fashion trends dictate a lot of what's what.

Let's keep sexual aspects out of it.

Thanks.

Howard,

I'd normally be fine with that, but I'd probably worry myself sick that it would mess you up a bit, you know ... in your mind. I wouldn't want to send you on some gender bender merry go round. You could end up with gender vertigo.

Yeah, although most are tongue in cheek i do get the feeling that a few guys still think chaining to the kitchen sink is the order of the day

(i'm just saying this as the wifes looking over my shoulder )

it's funny... when we go out, I wear my dressier Breitling and I always ask my husband if he'd like to borrow my SD for the evening
