I have a watch fetish, so it's probably a good thing i'm not a man, as I especially love men's watches...prefer them actually, not that I would wear one myself because they look grotesque on woman's arms, naturally.

Take a look at this store on ebay...you can get some bargains there.

How about blooming rose by Rolex?

Ps, only in the case of cheap watches does the gold rub off.

Don't get me started about clocks..

I like any watch, clock that looks more complicated than it should, I have no idea why, I just love interesting watches.

Ticking vintage alarm clocks, church clocks, clock towers, pocket watches, grandfather clocks, I even have a clock tower screen saver.

I think mens watches worn by women look ok.
A lot of nurses do that so that they can see the second had to take a pulse.
I am glad to see all the replies here.
I thought I was the only one who loves interesting watches.
As for the Rolex - yummy!

I don't think a Minnie Mouse watch qualifies here Grin

ok ok lol
But men's watches are designed so as the time is easier to read. Whilst we have to squint to actually be able to see the time!!

Just not fair. Angry

But maybe they have gay guys watches, which would be more feminine.
Best of both worlds then.

Guess that does sound funny lol
Do they make a half way watch, not the big chunky guy watches or the itsy bitsy girl watches, but half way?
And can you get them in hard plastic/rubber, so then can also be in brighter even fluorescent colours?

Thanks for the tip
I couldn't grab the pic either.
So I went and googled for it and found something similar.
Biut mid-size looks good

Although its metal they also have the 'rubberised' ones and in some nice colours too. Cool
