Er! Cufflinks ---- who wears those during the day now and who would you
impress? A cheapo Rolex look-a-like works much better and NOBODY knows that a
Patek Philippe costs x4 times more and works better.

gentlemen wear Cufflinks
and people, including nice ladies are impressed

every one I have shown them to in a BMW car, likes them
the price will only go up as I visit each BMW car showroom...
I know that I will have a 3 series from them within a year

today I am wearing a pair of cufflinks that are Gold on Silver
priced at £3,500, Joe's Untold Story behind them...

Perhaps you should have started the tale "once upon a time"

I have cufflinks made from 18x13mm gemstones (like amethyst) and solid gold.
Ladies often admire them :-), however even these are only worth £500 a pair
tops. OTOH a very el cheapo Casio Wave-ceptor keeps time to better than
0.5s and never needs winding or batteries and works MUCH better than all the
expensive watches (Rolex, Rado, Rotary (spit)...) that aren't badge
engineered from it. I expect GPS based watches soon, accurate to 10nS.

That's ridiculous, who needs a wrist watch that is accurate to 10nS, and
gets better every day at 5:00am?

I don't have shirts with cuffs. As a matter of fact, as a curmudgeon approaching
retirement, I don't even have any shirts with sleeves.

Guess you could always wear them as tongue studs -- that'd be impressive!

I finally got a shirt with french cuffs (the kind that take cuff links), but
I have trouble wearing a $200 watch and $2000 cuff links. And, my wife is
seldom impressed in a possitive manner by the money that I can spend if
given the chance.

I'm not sure my BMW baseball cap and my BMW cuff links would go well
together, especially when they are put together with my Cobain flip flops.
I'll pass on the links, and wear the hat and shoes with my suit ...

I think you're confusing "nice ladies" with 'cheap, golddigging sluts
who would give an arse like you a tumble'. But keep trying.

Oscar might be able to help. He's told us here more than once that
his wife is a sex-crazed knob-gobbler who he cannot allow out on her
own. Certainly not within my definition of 'nice lady.'

What say you, Oscar? Does your "wife" appreciate fine cufflinks?
