on the ugly bristly arms of men in advertisements?
Because the once-pilloried habit of amateur cyclists mimicking professional cyclists by removing their exposed body hair - which spread, disturbingly, into the everyday grooming of Millennials & Gen Z - has to stop somewhere.

One enduring trend where I live is bearded 20 and 30 somethings.

Likely compensating for weak chins.

The amateur cyclists? Even funnier to see them with their team jerseys. Providing free advertisement to the team sponsors.

I think the watches do show better in display cases or boxes. Especially in adverts.

When I first went bearded at 21yo my father commented that it was the sign of a weak chin or a weak personality. I had to point out that either way it was his fault either genetically or by upbringing. Never heard another word about it.

Well "real men" have hair so I guess those that don't, want to aspire to having hair too and after all expensive watches are aspirational items so conflate the 2 and bingo another watch sale.

It's all bs of course as many men don't all have arms bristling with gorilla like goodness ( such as myself 😀 ). Though in my case I need a watch to be largish as the dial disappears into the thatch.

Some of us have virtually NO hair on our arms.

It could be worse they could be wearing the watch on their pricks, with the straps/bracelets suitably adjusted to fit of course.......think yourself lucky the watches are displayed on the wrist!

My point is that it could be much worse, and I was using the mental imagery to make the point.......... unless of course you disagree and you'd rather watches were displayed on willies in ads? each to their own I s'pose!
