I just hate Rolex watches>>>>>>

Everytime I need to know what time it is so must I look at the watch.

That is so disturbing I have to take focus away from the road when I drive.

So I now considering to get a talking watch instead.

You probably need to shave your arm like JJ so you can see the watch rather than having to study the watch to figure out what time it is.

Jocke, I will send you a talking watch for your dress up Rolex watch. I saw what your work watch looked like and you would have to pay me to take it off your hands.

Ah...getting older. You can tell the time when looking at the watch, but can't remember what the time was - 10 seconds later.

I do this too. I can't keep myself from staring at my watch sometimes, especially when it's overcast outside. Nice lighting for watches.

Jocke, maybe you're not seeing things as clearly as you should looking through those JJ model sunglasses?

Actually against the law to look at your watch while driving in the state of Pennsylvania.

You are required to pull over in a safe manner, before looking at your watch!
