Watch My Wrist
Girls with bag lust and limited funds have been able to satiate the urge to buy for a few years with bag rental services. Now men (and women) with a watch jones can get a form of quick relief. Watch My Wrist is a service that offers a variety of watches on different levels from Connoisseur(IWC, Breitling, Jacob and Co. etc.) starting at around $100 per week down to Trendy (Kenneth Cole, DKNY, etc.) starting at $5 per week. The system works much like the bag rental services, you can rent a watch and keep it for as long as you like. The watch shown here from Jacob & Co. can be rented for $481.50 per week. Pricey but cheaper than buying.[via Diamond Vues]

thats a great concept....they dont have too many watches that I particularly like....but I'll be the first to admit that my taste in watches is not neccessarily main-stream.
That Jacob & Co sure is one disgusting beast though....I think you'd have to pay ME $481.50 a week to walk around town flaunting such a gaudy, iced-out piece of deuce.

Ouch, almost $500 a week for that Jacob & Co. monstrosity! No self respecting Connoisseur would pay to wear that timepiece of horological insignificance.
Much nicer (and cheaper) IWC's, Omegas and Zenith's there, my pick goes to Bell & Ross Instrument .
