Blue PP Nautilus on the wrist of a guy on an airport bus.

A Rolex Explorer Freccione on an old gentlemen met on a small boat while vacationing in Polynesia. He bought it brand new years back and he had no idea of its value (it was quite hot at the time, I am not sure now).

A Rolex Platinum Daytona on the wrist of a small business owner while accompanying my dad on a business trip. (Full disclosure, my dad’s business is not getting him a Platona... nor even a DJ these days)

Is that a wearable Droid from Star Wars or a phaser set to kill from Star Trek?

Saw a yellow ROO diver chrono before.

Also a gentlemen with a Reverso. Made me had a new appreciation for that watch.

On the small RJ from Miami to Austin, TX for the US F1 Grand Prix there were three RMs, among a handful of other very nice but less exotic stuff. A lot of Ferrari gear naturally as well.
