I was wondering from some of you owners.....What's it like wearing one of these in the "wild"? Not everyone is a watch aficionado but as we all know, most of the general public knows what a Rolex is. Also, most of the general public connects a quartz Rolex with a fake one. What are people's reactions to your Oysterquartz? Do a number of people automatically criticize you and say that you have a fake watch? I was always curious about this.

In all honesty I think most people are too polite to try and call you out on a fake watch to your face. That being said, I wear my oysterquartz every day and whenever someone does recognize it as a rolex I will tell them that its an oysterquartz and give a brief explanation of what that means.
