Is it just me, or do some wrists look downright funky in wrist shots? :)

I'm as guilty as anyone, my wrists are nothing too pretty, but man, I've seen a few this past year I've been here that look like they belong to John Merrick! :)

Just a little watch humor, don't ban me please.

You may be correct, but on occassion we do get to view some really nice girl wrists, so that evens out all the not so great ones that we have to endure.

I think we'll need the entire Sports Illustrated swimsuit team to achieve any sort of balance. :)

I submit my wrist and that for my Long-Haired General for the scrutiny of the jury...

I've never thought about the asthetics of wrists so I'm intrigued to see how we score on the "Merrick-o-meter"!!!

Couldn't agree more Ari, I saw this one pic posted that had so much potential....one of the cleanest GMT's ... But the guy's wrist was SO hairy its like the watch got lost in it.

I'm not hatin on the hairy dudes...but this guy was on another level.

ps. I never knew Sasquatch wore a rolex.

Megalobyte · 15 September 2011, 10:41 AM

Well, I don't know, I think wrist shots are like taking a pic of yourself wearing a speedo. :) I could swear sometimes it seems like there's an extra bone that shouldn't be there, or the alien creature trying to come out. :) When I post a wrist shot, I try to crop out most of my wrist.

The only wrist shots I don't think look too bad are that classic, look at me, my Rolex hand just happened to casually be exactly halfway in my jeans pocket so you can see some, but not all of the watch, any more would be showing off, and it's all about modesty... :)

conrail · 15 September 2011, 10:46 AM

Interesting thought. I gota say, based on the wrist shots posted, there are some HAIRY doods out there...my goodness.

GradyPhilpott · 15 September 2011, 11:28 AM

I have to photoshop my hand to post a wrist shot or no one would notice the watch.

It ain't pretty.

moviefreak · 15 September 2011, 11:42 AM

I remember J.J wrist shots... Like a polar bear with a watch...

Or how about the UPSIDE DOWN PHOTOS of wrists in pockets???!!!

spyderco10 · 15 September 2011, 04:18 PM

yeah most wrist shots are pretty scary looking. and it's not the hair, i don't know what it is.

evilfij · 15 September 2011, 04:23 PM

Ha. My watch makes my wrist look better. It covers up a quarter sized burn and an inch long scar.
