I know this sounds crazy but why don't we ever wear two watches at one time, like one on each wrist?

I know this is completely out there but my reasoning behind it would be that a watch is also seen as a piece of jewellery so one on each wrist wouldn't be too bad. I always get the feeling that my watches don't get enough wrist time so wearing two at once makes some sense to me (just trying to rationalise my crazy idea).

It may look ridiculous but imagine wearing both a GMTIIc and a Hulk; you would have access to 4 time zones and not to mention 2 beauties you can admire on your wrists at the same time.

Would love to hear what you all think? My wife says it would be embarrassing for her. Haha:)

By the way, this is my first post on TRF so go easy on me!

Only at a watch get together.

Otherwise not for me as I dont see them as Jewelry. Sure will get people thinking about you though.

gengar126 · 1 November 2012, 04:50 AM

It's funny you should mention that idea--I just tried wearing one on each wrist last night, trying to see if there was any way I could make it work. In the end, I only looked ridiculous, but I also wish it was more acceptable!

If someone asked me for the time, though, I wouldn't know which wrist to check! (But I guess that's a good problem to have, haha)

Did it once collecting a watch from service as I didn't have a safe pocket,
found it odd that the watch on the "wrong" wrist felt heavier

Fidel Castro wear two Rolex's all the time.

Here we also got Maradona with his two Rolex Daytona's

If Maradona and Castro can wear two Rolex's, then so can you!!!

Porsche · 1 November 2012, 05:38 AM

OK, sounds like a GREAT idea, but you go first!

Sweramic · 1 November 2012, 05:38 AM

Chronograph and GMT. Cause I could!

gengar126 · 1 November 2012, 05:42 AM

The next question is...do they have to match?

And wearing two on one wrist is a recipe for huge scratches!

that makes two of us

karmatp · 1 November 2012, 06:29 AM

I would laugh out loud if I saw someone wearing two watches. It is hard to even put into words how tacky it would be.

PanosI · 1 November 2012, 06:33 AM

Forgot to mention that usually wear 2 watches in the house

As i have always said, wearing two watches means you have too much time on your hands !

7east · 1 November 2012, 07:35 AM

I saw someone doing it at the airport the other day. Looked a little ridiculous IMO.

Because...
1) We Capitalist Pigs have some class.
2) Maradona was not wearing two one one hand. One was on Maradona's hand, the other was on the hand of God.
3) Fidel wasn't wearing his own watches. It was symbolic. One was a watch he stole from the Cuban people, the other was a watch he stole from all the multinationals.
