A few weeks ago I took my twins for private swim lessons and the instructor, a fit woman named Melissa, saw me take my girls into the pool with my Citizen Pro Diver and looking concerned she said, "Is that going to be all right in the water?"
"It's a professional diver," I responded.
"Are you a diver?"
"No, I just like diver watches." My face melted with chagrin.
At that moment I felt about as authentic as a guy who buys a hummer and then uses it to drive his poodle to the groomer.
I'm reminded of Jay Leno doing standup in the early 1980s when he used to mock the commercial featuring an actor who says, "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV."
