La Belle -- that would be me, too!
I love elegant watches, but I am the Watch Destroyer. Truly. I bash them into things, exploding their parts. I lose them and step on them. And the acid in my skin often kills the batteries before their time. (I was also a flute player with the black smudge on my chin for the same reason).
My parents warned DH (when he was still just a SO) not to buy me that expensive Seiko. But he did, bless him. I still have the box, but the watch died within a year.
