As a novel idea, have you thought of becoming a cleanskin. I used to love good dress watches, but some years ago my favourite packed it in so I decided to see if I could go without. After some withdrawal symptoms (looking at my empty wrist) I found it was great and very freeing (like not wearing underwear

). After all, other than the jewellery aspect of it, you don't need it for the time. Every where you look there is a digital clock somewhere, on your mobile, in your car, pda, etc.
