What a smart addition.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1083536 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:11:56 +0000 Angie 1083536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a huge fondness for large watches on small wrists, so high five Sona and Ingunn. Great watch. The brown strap matches your hair and was a good choice of strap colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1083533 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:08:19 +0000 El Cee 1083533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the big watch looks fantastic on you. I love its bold, graphic face... and the story behind it (and that it belonged to DH)&nbsp;makes it all the more interesting. The band seems to me to be a nice, versatile neutral... probably could go with just about anything. Enjoy your fab accessory! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1083506 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:39:02 +0000 Kimberley 1083506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea and it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1083505 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:38:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1083505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely adore an oversized watch - wear and enjoy Ingunn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1083503 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:37:28 +0000 Ingunn 1083503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I love how it adds a little&nbsp;punch to a outfit base on neutral basics. It also feels very nice&nbsp;to wear something that belonged to my husband. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1082956 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:57:07 +0000 unfrumped 1082956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much cooler than buying a&nbsp; &nbsp;man's watch at the store!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1082926 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:35:15 +0000 Karie 1082926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love big watch faces and I have a small wrist.

I'm glad you agree. My husband was really excited about this, too, and I tend to trust his judgement. I agree, Ceit, it IS an added bonus that this is a true boyfriend watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1082887 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:07:37 +0000 Anonymous 1082887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it -- I love big watches on a woman's wrist. The fact that it was your husband's is even better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1082881 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:02:19 +0000 Helenedith 1082881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think using unexpected items to add spice to our style is what makes our style unique to us. This looks great. I recently purchased a large watch with a cream leather strap and enjoy wearing it as my alternative watch has a cognac strap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1082880 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:00:13 +0000 carter 1082880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a big watch on a small wrist.&nbsp; I think it's perfect.&nbsp; Awesome score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1082875 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:59:04 +0000 RoseandJoan 1082875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the watch is stunning on you, it is a design classic with real punch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1082870 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:48:20 +0000 Diana 1082870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it just the way it is.&nbsp; My big watch (which is a women's watch with oversized face) has a fuchsia leather strap and a similar sized face, and I always get compliments on it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1082855 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:36:09 +0000 Sona 1082855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow. I love mens' watches on a woman's wrist. i know Angie has a fondness for the look too.Looks perfect as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-new-boyfriend-watch#post-1082852 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:34:26 +0000 Ingunn 1082852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the supportive comments on my last thread about me going on SYC for the remains of the year! I realize it isn't for dramatically long time, and I feel really good about this because my closet is working well, and I have no major holes to fill right now anyway. Thanks to Angie and YLF :)</p> <p>Still, I'm always looking for a little spice for my outfits, and since my DH got himself a new watch quite recently, it dawned on me that I could recycle his old one - for me. I changed the brown leather strap for a new one. My initial wish was a black strap, but they didn't have any, and then I thought about how&nbsp;I wear a lot of brown in my accessories, specs and hair, so maybe brown is better for me anyway? The watch is cool when worn together&nbsp;with my brown booties.&nbsp;I can always change it later if I'm bored with it.&nbsp;I didn't want to spend money on a&nbsp;metal chain right now, so it had to be leather.&nbsp;</p> <p>This watch has a fun story to it: It is modeled after <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mondaine.com/mondaine-watches/">the watches that hangs in Swiss railway stations</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mondaine.com/mondaine-watches/">,</a> and a design icon of the 20th Century, but its not an expensive watch.</p> <p>I love the idea of getting more use out of pieces that are perfectly in order. I've also been thinking about getting a man's watch. This one is very big, it covers my entire wrist.&nbsp;What do you think? Can I use it? Should I have chosen a black or even white strap instead?</p> <p>Thanks for reading and looking! All comments are welcome as always. </p>
