If someone is wearing a particularly unique or vintage watch I may strike up a conversation about the watch.

I wear a Rolex, drive a Ford truck, usually wear shorts and tee-shirt and live in a middle class neighborhood. What does that say about me?

Just be you and don't worry about what others think of what you wear, drive or where you live.

"Don't worry, be happy!"

Thats the way.

Two parts:

1. "Rolex! Nice. Which model?"

2. "Did that person realize I've been staring at their watch?"

I guess this is a hobby just for me. Except when I'm on TRF,

You asked.

maybe he knows about both and that is exactly the reason he bought a rolex.

There are Rolexes most everywhere I go. The suprise is when I don't see any. Often, there are numerous people wearing the exact same Rolex I am. When I went to my daughter's school for "My guy and me night", there were 15 dads in the room and 3 were wearing a TT sub just like me. There's no other watch brand where you see this happen.

It must be a fake.

Mine is the only original in the world!

I would attempt to strike up a conversation and see if he/she is a WIS. Most of the time I'm disappointed....oh well at least I got you folks!

If the person looks approachable and the timing is right I might compliment the watch and then strike up a conversation about it if they seem receptive.
