Health warning.

Will it become necessary to have health warnings attached to all large/heavy watches regarding soft tissue damage vein damage and the likes of carpel tunnel development.or perhaps wearing one on each wrist to provide a balanced carriage.

A joke usually either needs to have a punchline or be witty.

This doesn’t have either of those.

I have sensitive wrists, is it safe to wear a 40mm Submariner on dainty little girl wrists like mine?

Yep, we are getting ridiculous "health warnings" on just about everything else, so why not big watches.

This is a doll’s dainty wrist right? And not a real girl?

Nope, that's really Julian. Despite living in SD, he spends most daylight hours indoors.

LOL, yes and no respectively. I did a google search for girly wrist and 99% of the results were wrist shots covered with tattoos. Google FAIL!!!

This was one of the few pics that looked girly and didn't have tattoos all over them.

I’m trying to be serious here, there must be lots of accidents caused by the extreme mass of these beasts, I read an article about a guy driving along and had to swerve to avoid a dog, the mass of the sea dweller carried his hand onwards and forwards making him drive off the road and into a gully.
