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
Ya know Jen, that timepiece would have never been noticed on a man.

I say that it was your lovely hand that made this watch noticeable!

Good on you!

You have given me new ideas for my usual stupid comments. That was a funny and clever comment.

He's got a grip - too much of a grip as a matter of fact. He needs to take his hand off it.

Daytonas and subs look HOT on a woman's wrist. Definitely not too large.

Actually, my father has a Rolex as well, the TT blue sub in fact.

My dad is a great man with great taste, and I would be proud to be able to wear his watch. Thanks for the compliment.

Exactly what I said. Now I could see a mid sized Yacht Master or something similar. That Sub looks like a free weight on your wrist. To each his own however.

That's your 'reality' not necessarily the reality.

The reality is you seem to think that your opinion is the reality, whereas it is merely an opinion.

So whilst you say "No offence" just be mindful of using a degree of decorum when you make personal statements towards another member, because you don't get a free pass to do that just because you say "No offence...".

I meant no OFFENSE becasue I didn't want her to think I was being rude to her specfic.

We can all have an OPINION and I didn't insult anyone.

There is NO insult here and no personal attack. Its OPINION only.

All I hear is that 36mm are womens size blah blah blah.

Good job my OD is a 34mm then isn't it?

Phew, I'd hate people to think I'm some sort of transvestite...I mean I've never even been to Romania.

The more people start wearing bigger watches...the more I'm gonna look at smaller ones.

I'd really hate to be fashionable...how tiring it must be!

I'm utterly shocked that this thread has persisted... and chagrinned by the irony that my post is prolonging it.

See what happens when you try to let a guy off with a warning? He takes your kindness for your weakness. OK, if that's the way it's going to be, let's see.

Calling women heifers - 6 points.
Presuming to dictate reality for other members - 6 points.
Presuming to dictate that people are fooling themselves - 6 points.
Arguing that people have rights to their opinions to sidestep Steve's observation that your opinion does not constitute other people's reality - 6 points.
Taking up the above and then arguing to play it down to just "having a discussion" - 6 points.

Even if I gave you a 60% discount you'd still be out of here. Goodbye.
