You don't really need the suit. I plan on keeping mine inside a jacket pocket, it's just nice to have something that nice on your person.stukov961 said:

Thing is I currently almost always wear only a tshirt on my upper body, and well there's no where to keep a pocket watch there. I don't like high temperatures, for example I'm perfectly happy with having around 16 degrees Centigrade indoors, so I always have light clothing that doesn't really offer any good pockets.Daystar Clarion said:
You could always attach the chain to you belt buckle and leave it in your trouser/jeans pocket...stukov961 said:
Already have my keyring attached in a similar fashion. One metal chain dangling from the waist is enough.Daystar Clarion said:
I used to have a modern wristwatch, but the complex electronics inside it kept going haywire on me for no good reason. It also gave me an ugly rash.
One day I was late for work, and found that the piece of garbage had finally decided to quit for good. I quickly grabbed the first replacement I could find: A late 1920s Omega pocket watch that had once belonged to a man who used to rent a room at my grandparents' house.
I soon realized that I was on to something good. The Omega, being entirely mechanical, was impervious to electronic malfunctions, never needed a new battery - and COULDN'T give me a rash because I kept it in my pocket!
I've been using pocket watches for over a decade now, and have never thought of them as impractical.

That's nice, although the glare is stopping me from seeing the finer detail, but I suppose that can't be helped.Flames66 said:Here's mine:
I generally have it in my jacket pocket.
A veteran pocket watch user. Nice to see.busterkeatonrules said:
But I already have my nearly indestructible water proof sapphire glass titanium wrist watch...Daystar Clarion said:
Rest assured, I will get a pocket watch someday, but not today. Or tomorrow.
And I kind of need my keys.
I quite like the way they look on a man, but then, I like unusual timepieces. I, for example, have this:

I have one myself. It's part of my drinking persona, Vladimir Lestrade (yes, like from the Duke Nukem video). In short, my friend was turning 21, so we decided to go on a pub ban challenge (get wasted, see how many pubs we can get thrown out of in one night). Since I am underage, I dressed up in a full suit, top hat, monocle, pocket watch and cane, with a small cape and a false goatee. I was no longer Lexodus, god among men; instead I was Vladimir Lestrade, foreign dignitary and ambassador to the UK from a small sovreign nation in the Baltics, and, armed with my passable Russian and a knack for accents, they were either none the wiser or very, very good natured about it all, and I managed to get away with it. And when we were kicked out of each pub I swished my cape dramatically and cried, ''Vladimir, AWAY!"
Much lulz were had.
Much lulz were had.
A grand total of three pubs and the Irish Centre, for fuck's sake. GO US!
Ahh yes I do find a Pocket Watch rather handy in this day and age, it also makes me look sophisticated to some.
