meanwhile, while you're waiting the illegal immigrants are trying to work out how to get in your vehicle

Really nice watches (especially chronographs) - that don't come with a metal bracelet option.
I have seen so many nice watches that only come with rubber or leather straps, but I can't wear them as they irritate my skin.
