    a rock concert is no place for a new watch.

    i don't get what is wrong with you people...
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam

    its not an environment for watches mentally or physically. What do 'pillow-pant wearing people' not get about this?

    dont bring your watch...people could spill beer on it and it will be exposed to smoke all show....
    plus people around you dont wanna look at a watch making loud noises all show :D

    unless you're some kind of crazy person, then yes.. horrible idea.

    it scares me knowing that there are people like you out there owning watches..

    speaking as a watch repairman, i really have to advise against it...the number of watches i've had to repair after a mike mccready solo...at tour time it's half my business...and i wish it wasn't...leave the watch at home

    stone can wear a watch though because he has healing powers


    that's a true mutherfuckin' story!

    You should definitely call the venue and ask about watch accessible seating.

    I would be careful, I heard that one note from Boom Gaspar's organ makes every watch in the venue explode.
    No time to be void or save up on life, you gotta spend it all.

    Being as it is new and all I would leave it home. You know these Pearl Jam shows tend to get lengthy and you don't want to make the poor thing miss its bedtime.

    Agreed!

    But the real question is... did you buy your watch a ticket? They are cheap... apparently its buying Tbhooptie a beer! ;)

    I heard Jeff wears 5 watches during shows cuz Mikes solo can penetrate his force field
  • mavimavi Posts: 941
    I still think better to just leave it home.

    What if it runs into one of this... um... this...

    As an owner of a watch who is taking their watch to it's first concert at the age of 13, I really think 7 months is way too young for this kind of event. I really think a babysitter is the answer. Perhaps you could take it to your parents and they can have it overnight?

    I say wear it, that way we can all know who you are. The only one with balls big enough to actually wear a watch to PJ. Serioulsy, that's insane.

    i will look into a sitter... great idea

    you know what's kind of funny

    i was just sitting here reading this thread

    and i realized

    this really would be the first show for my new watch my wife got me for our anniversary in october

    although she dropped a couple grand on this puppy... so i actually do think i'll leave it at home ;)

    Hey mate,
    I can undeerstand you because I'm a wristwatches fanatic.
    I have a small collection and I've tried to go to a PJ show with a very nice watch...I'll never do it again...

    My suggest is: leave it @ home or in Hotel strongbox ;)

    Ciao!

    Is this watch set to the right time zone?

    If you bring your watch to that environment, don't complain when it starts running slow when it is 13 or 14 from going green. You started it.

    On the other hand, what if you win the lottery? Your watch could get it's first PJ experience from the front row! Ed would love to see a 7 month old watch, he loves watches. He has 2 of his own!

    (PS If you think the mosquito bites girl was bad.....)
