I think you are absolutely correct. I am definitely under the false impression that the rest of the world must have the same love and respect for horology as we do.
I bought a Black Bay 58 a few weeks ago and have been wearing it at home everyday since. My wife just noticed it on my wrist yesterday for the first time and only because it was inches in front of her. I did let her know how disappointed I was in her for not appreciating my watch collection on a regular basis :)
She actually loved it and said she would wear it. So when I get a sub I can blame it on her that I had to replace it so I could resize the BB58 for her to wear it :)
