Wouldn't want to do anything premature though...
Another watch chain question
, and a story comes with it (apologies Damon Runyon).
I recently managed to break my upper left arm. Did rather a good job of it if I say so myself (the physio agrees). Anyway, wristwatches are bit painful at the moment due to swelling of the lower arm and wrist...
