I quite often find myself trying to gauge the age of the person by their wrist shot in their WRUW posts

 

Well, if you mean by checking out the hands, then yes, the hands and wrists reveal so much about age.

We could do variation of the side-show weight guessers: post your wrist shot, guess the age...

 

60 year old men wearing friendship bracelets and 30 year old men wearing gold plated watches with Speidel flex-bracelets can throw me off

 

How ‘bout a 60 year-old with a friendship bracelet on one arm, and a 20 year-old on the other?

 

That’s called a late mid-life crisis.

 

Hmmm...disturbing. I've been in late mid-life crisis since my twenties...

 

Guess my age within 10 years.

 

Now you're making me wear my watch on a belt like @Mad Dog does.

 

Uhhh...NO.

 

65

 

Far off!

 

You can probably guess my age by my avatar (if you live in the US).

 

Route 66, 1960 to 1964. Your avatar shows both Martin Milner and George Maharis. Maharis left the series at the end of the ‘63 season. If you watched that program, you weren’t grade school age. So I’ll guess 70 +. (Spell check called him Maharishi! Glad I checked.)

 

Close...68. I loved that show! Your prize for a correct guess is the theme music to the show.

 

A very youthful 72...

 

Yes, I totally wonder the age of the individual based on the wrist shot. Mostly I’m pleased when I see younger wrists as it tells me there is still a future for these wonderful pieces we collect.

 

Agreed. They addressed a lot of weighty issues in their scripts. Pretty brave for the times.

 

My wife says I have very youthful arms:

 

No, that's called wealth...

 

Having your birth year in your handle makes it a little easier.
