Yah... you betcha I do.

itchy243mhz · 6 May 2010, 12:33 PM

Yep here too, just tonight at the base club for dinner I spotted a yellow gold day date on a 70ish gentleman. Looked just right on that gent.

Watchdog · 6 May 2010, 12:35 PM

Every watch I see I pay attention to and try to identify.

mtrunner · 6 May 2010, 12:37 PM

I always pay attention to watches. I saw a Explorer II white dial on the subway yesterday. I was in a meeting yesterday and the guy I was meeting with had a Yachtmaster. Today I saw a Submariner and a Pam 111 on the streets of NYC. You see a lot of nice watches here on a daily basis.

Rolex Freak · 6 May 2010, 12:38 PM

Constantly...and I've gotten so good I spot them from a mile away now.

cody p · 6 May 2010, 12:38 PM

watch watching? i don't do it as much as i used to. seeing a nice watch in these here parts is very, very rare! (kamloops, b.c., canada)

Luxe Time · 6 May 2010, 12:38 PM

i pay attention- but I'm slightly annoyed that I even look!

liquid_vox · 6 May 2010, 01:24 PM

Absolutely! Mainly just as a conversation piece.

andrew79 · 6 May 2010, 01:36 PM

amazing responses....

Sealion · 6 May 2010, 01:47 PM

Why bother when u know so many out there are Fakee? Also don't judge a person by the watch.I have so many Millionaires friends wearing only ordinary watches.

JMIND · 6 May 2010, 01:59 PM

More than ever, just can't help noticing a good looking watch.

marie · 6 May 2010, 02:27 PM

I do tend to look, if we are out at dinner, or at a shopping mall... Mainly because it saddens me that so many people don't wear watches and use their cell phone for a clock...

Lately it seems that it is such an anomaly that if I actually see someone with a watch on, I try to figure out what it is out of sheer curiosity.

sakuraba · 6 May 2010, 02:29 PM

I always look! Even when watching TV!

niner niner seven · 6 May 2010, 02:30 PM

etp095 · 6 May 2010, 02:43 PM

yes i notice.just this past sunday i was at my first camera show,the first thing i noticed was that i was the youngest there(i'm 41),the second was that lots of these guys wore rolex watches,all the ones i noticed were stainless,no gold.mostly subs,and datejust's,a new gmt too.

isolator · 6 May 2010, 02:51 PM

Oh yeah, it's an illness.
Talked to a guy today who sported a fake two-tone sub with a GMT bezel and Explorer flip-lock style clasp. Oh the horror!!!!

rickyslam · 6 May 2010, 02:52 PM

Guilty. I just try to get a sneak peak, but when watching TV, I'll also notice.

All the time!!

wholesaleneon · 6 May 2010, 03:13 PM

I look for rolex watches, and usually strike up a conversation. Its a good way to network, esp in business. Most people like doing business with people who notice small things like that.

steelers · 6 May 2010, 03:19 PM

Always! Never know what you may see!

zillap · 6 May 2010, 04:00 PM

Haha i do all the time!

Seventh Son · 6 May 2010, 04:25 PM

Always!

Cru Jones · 6 May 2010, 06:39 PM

Sure, definitely. For me, a watch is such a personal item, I'm curious to see what others wear (even though I know a good percentage of people wear their watch as "just a watch", and don't think nearly as much about it as I do).

htc8p · 6 May 2010, 06:44 PM

yes especially if its shiny

it can be rude sometimes but i cant help it.

truetime · 6 May 2010, 06:56 PM

Watches on other wrists are always more beautiful than mine

Bests,

BASSETHOUNDS · 6 May 2010, 07:02 PM

Yes I do , I believe you can tell a lot about a person by his watch , especially when the watch is a fake . Socks and shoes are important too .
Do not get me wrong , I'm not saying I judge a person because for what he has or wears , but sometimes those signs can translate in some indication of what kind of person they are .

Sweramic · 6 May 2010, 07:23 PM

Yes, all the time. On TV, in real life, in books/magazines/papers etc etc.
