Title: Jewelry
Post by: Dugout DickStone on September 14, 2010, 08:28:37 PM
So, besides my 1973 Massachusetts sate judo championship ring, I don't wear any.  I think someone who has had my kind of success in life should have more.

what do you guys think?

Wedding band and a watch.  The watch because I can't stand it when people use their cell phone as a timepiece.  What if your phone dies?  My super elite looking yet not over the top Citizen Eco-Drive will never die.  EVER!!

There was a K-State bowl ring from, i believe, 1980 on ebay.  Some topeka pawn shop wanted $200 for it....

I agree on the watch, nothing puts the guy sitting across from you during a big time business meeting into checkmate faster than having a better timepiece than he does.  You know it, and so does he.

I got mine last year.

It's gotta be a nice but not over the top "hey look at me I'm a gigantic douchebag" watch.

also- don't buy your watch online.  if you want to insure it, you'll need to prove you bought it from an authorized dealer.

Wedding band. No watch (might as well wear a sun dial  :lol:).

Not sure if there's ever a scenario for straight men outside the Mediterranean who aren't rappers to wear necklaces or bracelets. If you're going to wear a gold chain, you might as well rub rogaine on your chest and buy a track suit.

the whole watch or no watch thing depends greatly on what you do for a living imo. i personally have no need/desire for one, but i can see why clams or lsoc would want a nice one.

Decent argument. I actually own a watch that I wear when I visit facilities that don't allow cell phones. Really sucks the first time when they take your phone away and your "time blind" for the day.

There's a guy in my office that does the fancy watch thing.  Has, like, a lot of them.  Tries to tell me about them a lot.  I'm always, like, "Is it a Fossil or something?" and he gets all mad/sad.  Pretty good times.   :party:

i agree w/ this.  it's in large part a status symbol, imo, so go big or go home.


also, i love when a watch wearer is asked for the time and still pulls his cell phone out.   :lol:

I agree with this. Used to wear nice watches, but now that I do food product development I don't want to get food/ingredients all inside and on a watch so just don't wear one anymore.

FYI, you're about to walk into an angry tornado of anti-tie fastener sentiment:

Pin, clips, and chains are for 50 year olds and dumbasses.

are you having a lets stand around outside and see who's tie stays put competition?  when i go outside I expect my tie to move around, when I drive around in my car, i expect my tie to move around, when i'm in a setting where it matters, my tie is going to hang like it is supposed to.

there is a third group. it's the group of important people with important jobs that have to look important to other important people so that they will be taken seriously. an important person with a two thousand dollar watch is going to lol at your dillars fossil. disadvantage=you. i wear adidas cross trainers to work though so it's pretty obvious that i'm not important. no watch will make up for that. that's why i don't wear one. poor little unimportant rick daris.

I lose and break watches all the time, so no more watches for me. 

I work with loads of guys from India and they wear the crap out of jewelry...the LOVE the rings.  AND, they frequently rock mustaches and unbuttoned dress shirts with no undershirt.  Basically, what I am saying is that Indians are disco guys.

i can't stand rings.  not sure what i'd do if i ever got married, prob just buy another watch instead of a ring.

absolutely love when guys wear pinky or thumb rings, they rock.
