watching a watch

the last time i wore a watch was about 10 years ago. it was a cool fossils watch with a red face and you press a side button for the time to light up. if i dig around my bedroom, i might be able to find it, but i'm not going to so please use your awesome imagination instead. i thought i was so cool wearing that. so spy worthy.

then i got a cell phone and wrist watches became the thing of the past. it just didn't make sense to double time things. why strap on another accessory, pay double for another thang, when the cell phone just does it all....just does it all.

that is until about 2 years ago when i saw chanel's j12 white ceramic watch and fell head over heels in love with it. that was probably THE ONLY time that i ever thought i NEEDED a watch...that i couldn't live without one. my s.a. even brought it out for me to "try" it on, see how it fits, you know, have some fun. yeah right...she was banking on the fact that i was a weak chanel mofo.

anyways, i tried it on and indeed it is LOVELY, but the sometimes rational voice inside my head told me loudly, "YOU DON'T WEAR WATCHES! PUT IT DOWN! ARE YA NUTS?!" so i did and walked away, wimpering a little of course cuz it's just sooooooo pretty! of course, that doesn't mean i don't look at it fondly or stare like a pervert when i see one.

anyways, here's the chanel j12 with diamond markers....on another lucky chick's wrist.

and here is another version encrusted with diamonds. chanel loves to bring in different variations for this classic. this one i had to put on my sunnies when i saw it. dayaaaam my friends, dayam!

if i must say so myself, if i was to ever pick up a watch, the white ceramic chanel j12 will be the one. it just pops off your wrist. so dang hot!

love the first watch! there was a time when i was in college and a little bit of grad school where i wore my watch to bed - you know, part of those i need to know what time it is all the time so i can work around my cramming sessions! ha ha i still wear a watch, though it's the first thing i take off after i get home from work :) good resistance there on leaving that beauty behind.

you is me- this is a GORGEOUS watch *drool* and leaving it behind did take a lot of will power. ack, at least that means i'm not too unreasonable when i shop.

wow, i can't imagine wearing a watch to bed. you must of had a watch tan as well :)

omg! i totally have a "watch tan" on my wrist when i was in manila this spring. i can't afford this chanel, but i found this:http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/women/watches/stella_watches/stella_white_topring_watch-es2442p.html?departmentCategoryId=30000&N=0&No=12&Ns=p_wsc0%7C0%7C%7Cp_weight%7C0&rec=25&pn=c&imagePath=ES2442
