Walked into brunch today in Nashville, I was wearing my BLNR and saw another guy wearing his BLNR, his wife sporting a 34mm DateJust on an Oyster bracelet.
Only the 2nd BLNR I've seen in the wild.

Yesterday I went to a tiny Eastern Europe/Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food market I have been going to since I was a child. The husband and wife storekeepers had a DSSD and a SubC date On their wrists. Salt of the Earth people and I’m happy to see them prospering.

Was at an AD in short hills mall this weekend and saw a younger gentleman speaking to a salesman and he had the white dial ceramic Daytona on. Interestgly, I have been considering trading my older model for it, but in the metal the white and black appeared quite stark. I’ll have to take a closer look one day, but these things are though to come by.

Round here you don't spot them as often. Yesterday though I was doing some grocery shopping and loading a dessert/tart into my bag and I thought the guy was complimenting me on my choice in pastry Turns out he was pointing at my LVc. He was wearing a SD43. I enjoy these kind of interactions, they don't happen often. I must say, the LV was really popping under the store lighting, nothing under the radar about it if you aren't wearing sleeves.

I have some subdued watches, so I like the pop on the LVc. Definitely great for summer. I hope to add a bluesy one day, that dial gets me hot under the collar.

Black dial Oystersteel and white gold Sky-Dweller. My first ever wild spotting of a Oystersteel and white gold Sky-Dweller.

36mm Explorer 1 at the coffee shop today. From his reaction, I think I’m the first person to ever notice/compliment it in the wild.

I saw an acquaintance from a competing company at a work event sporting a pepsi 16710. Upon closer inspection, I saw a ticking seconds hand! I somehow managed to keep my mouth shut.

Was out last week in midtown NYC and an older gentleman tending bar had a very beautiful, very used, very old 1675. It looked fantastic and I told him as much. Small convo ensued and he said he purchased it in 1968 and has been wearing it since.
Rolex corporate is just a block or so away and he said they’ve been in a few times offering to purchase it. He’s always politely declined as he loves it and when they’d leave they’d say when and if he ever sells it he has to give them a call. Pretty funny |

In NY/NJ I spot nice watches everywhere but on the subway a few months back, I saw a guy wearing a 5712 (white gold), which is the first one I have seen in person. Impressive watch which has now become my grail.
