Haven’t been there for a few years but a place called Bal Harbor shops in Miami Beach. The captains coming off their yachts and more importantly their daughters or girlfriends, (not sure which) were always wearing amazing watches. That’s where I saw for the first time years ago, a young model looking girl wearing a YG Daytona.

Once on a flight between Zurich and Amsterdam basically everyone around me was wearing a Rolex (except one guy who was wearing an IWC). So probably that time.

Airplanes and Airport clubs. Best places for watch spotting I’ve found.

1) Singapore
2) Hong Kong
3) Vegas
4) Miami
5) New York

Without a doubt Singapore. I’ve lived here for over 5 years and even with the “shortage” I see at least 5 a day just on my morning commute. And I’m not even trying to spot them.

It's been awhile since I've left the US or been to Vegas. Airports and my Florida hot spots for me.

Living in NYC it's difficult for me to wrap my head around places where Rolex's are rare. At least I have yet to see my two-liner Sub in the wild!


They had one at Touneau Bryant park last week.

Few weeks ago at Fanelli's on Prince, guy next to me at the bar had an Albino GMT Pepsi.

The Strip, Las Vegas, Nevada.

I never felt so pedestrian with my 16710 Pepsi. At least mine was the only steel sports Rolex I saw on Jubilee.

Key Largo.

I just got back from a stone crab claw lunch (the season just started) and every man over 40 had on a Rolex. Also, flip-flops. Yeah... me too.

Anyway...

Two yellow gold sunburst subs, one black yellow gold sub, one bluesy, probably 3 SS models, one gold DD and my smurf. Heavy Sub presence.

This is the highest concentration of Rolex I have seen. It’s a small sample size but still...

Everywhere in Las Vegas.

And, usually I don't notice what everyone is wearing at the blackjack table, but there was an occasion where I did pay attention. At that one table, everyone had a Rolex. It was funny.

Also noticed the fella helping us at the car rental counter had a 116613LN.

I also noticed one today at the local gun shop. Salesman was wearing a a Sub ND. Makes me wonder how many I see on a daily basis are genuine.
