This is the best photo I could find. Definitely not a Rolex, but a Rolex "homage". Brand wordmark looks maybe like Fossil?

Should be able to enlarge this to see.

Pretty sure it's this: https://www.fossil.com/en-us/produc...e-hand-date-stainless-steel-watch/FS6029.html

You know what they say? "Fake it until you make it, but then just keep faking because you're a fake!"

congratulations! nothing worth doing is easy, and parenthood is one of the most challenging but probably most rewarding thing you can do.

To be fair, the guy did disclose that he has no assets. Even something pleb, like a used Air King, requires some money.

It may be the lack of sleep, but I don't understand the first sentence.

BB has memories and milestones attached to it so when it goes to her later down the line, she'll know and hopefully it will be more special.

Thanks, Mitch.

Thanks,

Not really a girl’s watch TBH…
Now yes family/heirloom watches are special.
My kids are pretty lucky as both their parents like watches… They already got a Rolex each (+ a Cartier for my daughter who is the elder), and later will have our watches collections.

I've seen plenty of bb58s on women. My wife wears mine sometimes and it looks great.

🤷🏻‍♂️ well actually women wearing huge men’s watches is fashionable indeed.

I wouldn't say 39mm is huge my any means and it looks very good on any size wrist in my opinion. But you have your opinion on the matter, which is totally fine.

I think women in dive watches are great.

I already find 39mm quite big for most men’s watches so for women… but as you say everyone has his opinion/taste…

 

[symphvaria]

39mm was considered a large watch for men for the vast majority of the 20th century. The original Royal Oak and Nautilus were both 39mm watches, and they were considered “jumbo” sized on that alone. 39mm being the new norm is a very recent development.
