The PRETTY YOUNG GIRL with the UGLY WATCH


I purchased this photo a few months ago. A pretty girl, but nothing exceptional. I bought it because of the watch. Such an ugly watch on such a graceful arm. It seemed to be a watch, dare I say it...out of time. When I say time I mean time period. It looks like it's made of rubber and would be something a skin diver would wear. I don't imagine this young thing doing much snorkeling. I could be wrong. And I imagine it's actually leather.



Perhaps someone out there will recognize this watch and provide me with some information.

I will tell you that this is not the last time you will see such a watch, much to my surprise.

  2. I hope someone does identify it. It looks like a pocket watch that's been affixed in some way to the band. I think it's leather as well. LOL. My first thought when I saw the photograph and your narrative was that it must be a FOSSIL.
