Was this guy just being a.....
Was is Whole Foods tonight and a guy noticed my TAG Carrera. Told me it looks similar to his Watch. He had a SS Daytona white face. But it was the way he said it. Kinda like I was a peasant. Then he just walked away. Thank god for my wife reminding me we were in a grocery store. I had a lot to say. I mean seriously, what’s wrong with it??

I'd have told him: "Sir, this is a Whole Foods."

Wow
If he was wearing a white dial Daytona, I wouldn’t say they look very similar |

Are you maybe projecting your feelings onto his words?

So you’re saying I’m just trying to cope with the fact that I don’t have a Daytona?

Well I don't know. On face value maybe the guy was just being nice.

So, if your wife hadn’t been there would you have smacked him in the mouth ? Why give a shit what a random stranger thinks about your watch or how it compares to his...

If he thought your Carrera looked similar to a white Daytona he has serious issues.
You did well to stay far away.

Never that. Not over something like that. But I would have asked why he said it the way he did. I guess I should have made the subject heading “ this guy was being a ....”

Some people get off on being the top dog. Oh well. Let them be. And move on.

Ha! I would have said, "that's nice but I'm married and my wife doesn't like it when guys try to pick me up at the grocery store, Have a nice evening!"

Well, if this guy really was trying to think that he’s top dog because he’s wearing a Daytona, then he’s tying his self worth to material things. Don’t fall in the same trap.

+1 They’re just watches, perhaps he was being nice or perhaps he needed you to know he had a Daytona. Either way I’m glad nobody got hurt over this situation.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Don't let an idiot get under your skin. He seems to have been overcompensating. Your wife did you a solid by not letting you smack the guy. You have more to lose than that idiot. Maybe he saw that you're happily married and got jealous. Like another member said, he seems to tie his self worth to materialistic things and even with a Daytona he's still too much of a douche for any person to choose him as a partner.
