I know no one will care...

[Kayleigh Katz]

But there's a great sale on Gucci watches at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea tomorrow (it was today too and I made out big time!). It's 18th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves, just look for the line, you can't miss it.

 

[TacticalEvilDan]

Heh, thanks for the heads-up, but I'm:

1) In rural western NY
2) In posession of a standard but servicable Seiko my folks gave me about 10 years ago

What's the big deal with Gucci, anyway?

 

[1069]

Watches: pfft.
If I ever start caring what time it is, maybe I'll buy one.

 

[new coup for you]

i got a Fred Perry today for 10 bucks

 

[Kayleigh Katz]

Worth the drive in. I picked up 5 Twirl 112s in diff colors, they are soooo cute!

2) In posession of a standard but servicable Seiko my folks gave me about 10 years ago

I'm just going to pretend you didn't say that.

For men? Maybe not such a big deal. For me? When I'm looking for a $500-$1000 run around the city watch it's a nice, fashionable choice.

I wouldn't wear one to go out in, how gauche!

I didn't see any there, but you should look into the new men's fragrance by Gucci, it smells nice.

 

[Ethereal]

Gucci is for hoochies. Burberry is the classy sh*t.

:lol: Burberry is for British white trash, "Chavs"

If one actually values substance over style, there's always Audemars Piguet.

If I pay $500 for a ****ing "watch" it damn well better do a ****load more than tell me what ****ing time it is. I can find out what time it is for free. A $500 "watch" better be waterproof to 300ft, give me air and water temp, current depth, calculate the residual nitrogen in my blood after multiple dives, surface interval time required, decompression stop time and depth, my ascent rate, the gas pressure in my tank, estimated remaining breathing time based on available gas and rate of gas consumption, time until I can fly, and keep a running, downloadable log of all my dives.

It also should have a vibrator attachment.

Anything less than that is just a waste of $500.

I really don't like jewelry, for either gender. I have some earrings and a nose ring, but they're all simple surgical steel. I used to have eyebrow rings and a lip ring but I decided that was just too much crap in my face.

I would never wear rings or a watch. I just don't think it looks very good.

One of my chief complaints about female aesthetics is that women tend to cover themselves in baubles and crap. To me a big ugly shiny thing is a big ugly shiny thing regardless of whether it's costume jewelry or designer.

Yeah, besides my (stainless steel) piercings, I don't wear anything.
It's not comfortable. Rings hurt my fingers. Anything on my wrists feels like it's chafing my skin. Necklaces feel like they're ****ing strangling me. I dislike anything binding, eschew undergarments entirely, and probably wouldn't even wear friggin' clothes if it wasn't the law (it's not like it ever really gets that cold where I live).
I believe I have some sensory integration issues.
I'm extremely sensitive to both noise and to anything touching me, including air (my husband and I have had horrible fights over the issue of ceiling fans; I cannot be comfortable with wind blowing on me 24/7, and I will not put up with it in my own home, and certainly not when I'm trying to sleep).
So, no. I don't wear jewelry.
But I do recognize the difference between quality and kitsch.

 

[new coup for you]

Yeah I feel very similarly, wearing a watch is like torture to me. Fans give me a headache. I'm not sensitive to noise though.

I like Burberry so I guess I'm just a doo-bag. Rivrrat would probably slap me if she knew how much I spent on watches. Nothing brings together a nice outfit like a quality time-piece.

Gucci is for black people

Gucci is for fashion whores with no style. As soon as a rapper starts talking about a product line it's time to find something more subtle. That would describe how I dress, subtle. Solid coloring, relaxed fit, subtle tones, and quality.

I was about to say my £50 Timex Ironman or even a good Casio G-shock does all that but then I saw this extra requirement --"It also should have a vibrator attachment"

If I find one on my watch, can I send it to you? :shock:

hehe If you can find one, I'd truly appreciate it. :mrgreen:

 

[americanwoman]

I don't like wearing a watch, but I love my bangles. I don't why I don't like watches except I probably don't care to know what time it is. As far as other jewlery I would feel naked without my necklace, earrings, and the couple rings I wear. If I forget to put something on or am in a rush, I feel weird all day long, until I can put it on.

 

[Kayleigh Katz]

I love clothes, accessories, jewelry, all of it. :mrgreen:

BTW, there's an clearance on Odin's items at DEN in the East Village. I'm heading over later to see what's left. If you go bring some cigarettes with you so I can bum 1, I'm dying for a smoke today. :mrgreen:

 

[new coup for you]

if you want to go to a good place in the East Village go to Uzi and 99X

 

[Iriemon]

I think we ought to raise taxes on middle class folk and cut taxes on the wealthy because everyone knows buying Gucci watches is good for the economy.

But I'll stick with my $25 Timex.

 

[Kayleigh Katz]

You can't be serious. OMG, Uzi?. Are you sure you're gay? Uzi is like... ugly Gap clothes. And isn't 99x just boy clothes? Who cares about that? :doh

Let's not make this about politics. Can't we just talk about clothes and fashion and where to get good deals?

And who makes, transports, stocks, markets, sells, and services those watches, I wonder?

 

[scourge99]

(my husband and I have had horrible fights over the issue of ceiling fans; I cannot be comfortable with wind blowing on me 24/7, and I will not put up with it in my own home, and certainly not when I'm trying to sleep).

I can't stand fans. They make my eyes dry out and I get all stuffed up and congested when they blow on my face at night.

Fans are good for one thing, getting you cool until you are no longer hot. Then, turn the god damn thing off.

Heh heh, sorry, I couldn't help but make fun of an argument I've heard over and over about why the richest should pay less taxes.

 

[Iriemon]

Proof that wealthy people buying Gucci watches is just what this economy needs.
