Same as Singapore. They're all over the place like bugs in a field. Even the bag ladies that push their worldly possessions in a shopping trolley, wear men's shoes and talk to buildings seem to be wearing one.

Geneva Golf & Countryclub Club de Bonmont. There would be Patek Philippe’s as well if PP could take abuse :) Some do take PM watches off when time to strike, as it might hurt the wrist because of the heft :D

If you mean spotted on the footpath/shopping centre on wrists of strangers, yeah HongKong & Singapore rank pretty high on public spottings. Although Rolex numbers are getting watered down by Pan & AP in recent yrs IMHO.

Big difference in KualaLumpur, R still quite rare on the streets. More omega afaik I'm more Casio/Seiko when I'm in KL.

If we're talking Supercars, spot more in Singapore than in HK. Singaporeans seem to dailydrive Supercars more than HKers, so they're stuck in traffic. Porsche, AMGs, Masers don't count, there's a dozen at every stoplight. Fair few in KL too but many are 2nd hand exBrit imports.

Hong Kong, NYC and Rome, Swiss cities seem to be more diverse, lots of IWC in Zurich, lots of everything in Geneva. Never been to Vegas, long time since I last was in Miami.

Easy answer. Hong Kong. Especially in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui areas. Everyone and their mother seems to own a Rolex - all the way to cashiers at the supermarket, servers and even janitors.

If you look even lower along the HK social ladder, you'll find that even I'm wearing one
