Pocket watches with a kilt?

[Kilt TN]

Everytime I look at this thread, I think of attaching one end of the pocket watch chain at the waist and then letting the pocket watch dangle down inside the kilt.

Then when someone asks the time, you reach down raise the hem slightly, grasp the watch and look at the time.

Sorry, but the mental image sticks in my head of the possible reactions to a simple question of "What time is it?"

aaahhgggg...never treat a pocket watch with such disrespect...do you want to break it. My grandfather would jump up out of his grave and snatch me bald if I did that. Unlike a quartz watch you could damage the timing spring in a pocket watch doing that.
