Spotted 3 rolex's in 30 seconds...
seeing one a week is a rare case for me... well not tonight, at the roulette wheel and a gentleman approaches with 2 grand to play with... so i had to look at his wrist, YG 36mm president... didn't bother gambling as i was staring at his watch for a good 30 seconds. Hoping he would notice mine but he was to concentrated on the table, another gentleman approaches and i just had to look at his wrist... throws down 5 grand, had a submariner, so what are the chances his wife has one. A TT DJ 30mm.
My eyes were no longer watching the roulette wheel and rather scrutinising the two gentleman's wrist for a good 5 minutes. I have to admit i did stick my watch out there abit trying to wave it around hoping one of them would notice!!!!!

During in-flight transit to St. Kitts yesterday, i sat behind an old man with a 36mm yellow gold day-date, next to a guy with a pepsi GMT and our flight attendant had a two-tone lady datejust on. Rolex sightings definitely come in waves. Back home i never see a random stranger with one on.

Go to a PGA golf tournament or Tennis major and you'll almost see more folks wearing a Rolex than not wearing one.

In Naples, Florida I see YG Day-Dates and TT subs several times daily. Also, seems like everyone there drives a Lexus.

I don't see them often when I am at home.
A few weeks back however I was flying ORD to SFO, and the entire first class cabin was wearing a Rolex, Panerai, or Hublot. Badly wanted to strike up a conversation with the gentleman sitting next to me wearing a Panerai, but he didn't speak English, and my Japanese is pretty rusty. |

I see so many Rolex's around here it's amazing. Once in an open house at the kids school there were three of us wearing SS Daytona's in one of the classrooms.

Please tell me you don't play roulette. Very simple mathematics will tell you that it is "a mug's game".

As is everything in a casino. They aren't running a charity. Ideally, you go there to have some fun, excitement, and enjoy an evening out. Play with your head, not above it.

On Friday I saw a Pepsi at the Post Office, I said as he walked by "nice watch", this turned into a few minute conversation on the appreciation of such a wonderful brand.
His looked to be early to mid 90's, Beautiful watch, I love seeing them in the wild. I have seen a few on customers as they are coming in to buy a car, three other people I work with here at Ck Flag Toyota have Rolex watches!
