A rare wrist shot, seen once every 10 years...

Was running late and left without a watch. This almost never happens.

I'm so bummed.
Share some wrist shots please to get me through the day.

isn't that the strangest feeling??

i had to pick up one of mine at the RSC in SF, so didn't think it made any sense to wear another one into work - but i kept looking at my empty wrist all morning.

of course you needed a 2nd watch because you would constantly be seeing how long till end of work and you can pick up your rolex!!!!

these wrist shots look genuinely weird like when someone you know who has worn glasses for the last 10 years and they take them off

I feel naked when not wearing a watch and it is like driving a car without wearing a seatbelt.

Awful feeling when you remember way too late that your watch is home and not on the wrist. Sorry Gus. Here is my wrist today. Close but not the same as yours.

I feel a TRF fine coming for several members....seriously, I think we all forget from time to time. It's when I leave my better watches on the kitchen counter on the way out I get nervous.

For some reason I believe you; it must be the faint tan line. So yesterday was new watch day for me and here's a car shot to try and help. Remember one day at a time. You can make it through withdrawals; many others have.

I would recommend SPF 10 or below and 90 minutes driving with your wrist in the sun. You should be good to go tomorrow 😄

Oh hell nah, I'll miss a plane, be late for work, possibly miss a child birth....before I walk out the house without a watch(kidding mostly). But I've turned around and have gone back just to get it, my day will be all wrong without it.

I mean I'll tape my iPhone to my wrist if need be, but I need a timing device just to satisfy my look at my wrist for no reason than just to look at my watch, and not know what time it is.

Another good reason to always wear a watch to bed.

I can agree with some of the other members here, that one simply feels naked without a watch.

Always disappointing when that happens.

My wrist looks the exact same without a watch. You can see exactly where a watch should be!

Thanks, again for the congratulations on the new watch.

And you know what will happen, Gus' watches will lose 15 second each to get even for being left behind.

Nice Speedie BTW.

Thank you all for the comforting pics and humorous comments.
I must have looked at my empty wrist a dozen times today.

Exactly. Or when someone you've always seen with a mustache shaves it off.
