The Golden Girls ~ Life Lessons

Dorothy has been feeling ill for a number of weeks, and is worried that there might be something seriously wrong with her health. But, after seeing numerous doctors and specialists, no one can give her an answer as to what the issue could be, and instead dismiss her concerns with claims that she’s simply depressed about being single or getting older. Dr. Budd, in particular, suggests that she ‘take a cruise’ or ‘change your hair colour’ to make herself feel better, as his own wife did. Dorothy begins to wonder if it’s all in her head, but the girls assure her that they know she’s sick because they know her. Finally, after her friend, Dr. Weston, recommends her to specialist Dr. Chang, Dorothy is diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Relieved and happy that she finally has a name for what’s wrong with her – and that she’s not ‘crazy’ like the doctors originally made her believe – she takes the girls out to a celebratory dinner and sees Dr. Budd in the restaurant, where she decides to confront him about his treatment of her.

MORE JESS MARIANO WARDOBE ANALYSIS

So despite having 10,000 jackets, Jess wears the same watch from his first appearance in s2 all the way through his last in s6 (He wears a different one in AYITL :(()

Don't worry I have better photos LOTS OF THEM

It is a leather (probably fake) batch watch, one with a watch face over a leather wristband on his left wrist (Jess/Milo is probably right handed). Starting in s3 and through s4 he wears a thin wristband on his right wrist as well

Here he is in s4 putting on his watch and switching the face around BECAUSE

Up until 3x04 Jess wears the face of his watch on the outside of his wrist, like most people do

Then starting in 3x05

and through s4 he always wears his watch with the lock face on his inner wrist

But WHY??? Initially I thought it was because he reads with a book in his left had and it lets him look at the time quickly, but Jess typically holds one-hand books in his right hand (see above and below)

So why???

Wearing a watch with the clock face on the inside of your wrist is associated with the military community, and Jess does have some style influences from there (see the camo shirt he keeps wearing, and the Staff Sergeant patch sewn onto his basic hoodie in the first pic).

The change in the watch starts and ends when Jess begins working in manual labor, did he start doing it to protect a watch he clearly values from any bumps at work?

Is it a sensory thing? He is a sensitive little guy, it could be. Is it to be cool? To quote Jess

WHAT'S GOING ON??
