a group of ladies in So Cal got together and form a club to share jewelry. But they are from the same neighborhood and have been friends for a long time.

You send the watch to someone else. He or she returns it to you as agreed. Now you notice a scratch on it. Maybe it was there before you sent it, but you didn't notice it. Maybe the other person scratched it.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Count me out.

If the watch was considered as part of the "program" and not a personal watch... Maybe the scratch issue etc... goes away? Fully insured and of course RSC fees could be part of the monthly or whatever.... It's kind of interesting to me...

That makes more sense to me than letting someone else wear your watch. I doubt that I would be interested, but that's just my preference.

Im not sure If I like the "borrowing" watches idea. But the whole "everyone puts money in" program/thingy sounds great

In an airplane, everyone's b$^# fits in a seat. But a watch, what happens to the extra links that come in and out? I pitty the guy that has the large wrist since he won't get or be able to find the extra links.

Well everything would have to be owned by the club for it to work (legally)
And either the clubhouse would know the sizes and everything would go back to
them and be handled (sizing and shipping to the next customer and thats how most
of the executive car clubs do it) or you could stipulate that the watch had to be sized
by a AD but that just starts to get complicated....

Sorry for that little outburst.
Sometimes you need a little feminine logic.

I would rather cut my liver out with a spoon and hand it to one of you morons than give you my watch!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeez.

Remember the liver option is still available, as is the cornea and kidney deal...I believe they can also transplant hands now so if you need one of those I am welcome to offers!!!!!

I'll get that Pepsi somehow!!!!!!
