"Nice watch"
Got my first "nice watch" comment in a long time just now. Respectable gentlemen leaving a dry cleaners on lower East side of Manhattan. I am outside texting the wife. He drops the line, doesn't break step, casually continues with his day :)
Obviously a WIS as I had the WG Daytona on which isn't particularly blingy. Made my day!  Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

They really don't get much "nicer" than that, IMHO.

Dude, I can totally relate.
I have a watch that IS particularly blingy and hardly get any compliments. Just stares. It sucks. |

Thanks for the kind words. It wasn't meant to solicit watch approval from the forum, more to highlight how a casually delivered one-liner made my day :) Much better than the "is it real?" questions we so often get! Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

As a one time NY’er, I pretty much have a picture of the guy and how it transpired in my head. And that is a nice watch.
