Casinos, resorts generally attract wealthier people and have significant security such that people feel safe wearing valuables. I saw the most high end watches staying at the Fontainebleau in Miami for a bachelor party.

Rodeo Drive used to be up there with anywhere else until LA decided to stop enforcing laws.

Yep. Walk down the pit lane at Daytona tomorrow through Sunday or better yet, the following Rolex 24 weekend in the VIP paddock hospitality area.

Then, there is Goodwood, Monterey Historic Races, Pebble Beach Concours, the Amelia, Classic LeMans, the list goes on and on... F1, OMG!

Auto racing for sure.

HK by far for pure quantity, the kid serving your Starbucks even wears a Rolex. Seen plenty PPs in the subway right in my face when folks hold the roof rail.

High end car shows, like the Concours D’Elegance, Amelia Island, Pebble Beach, etc.
Dubai and Monaco, where security is super high and people feel safe to wear anything they want.

Literally saw 7 Rolex and a RM within the first 5 minutes of being inside Whole Foods in Irvine, CA lunch time, last week.

The best I've ever seen is an F1 race weekend in the paddock club. Every Rolex, Patek and RM imaginable.
