On vacation and I already saw 3 Kermit’s, 2 Hulks, 1 bbn rose on nato, & no Daytona’s what “rare” stuff have you seen on wrists lately?

Chester01 · 25 July 2018, 10:28 AM

Was in New Hope Pa this weekend and saw a husband and wife with matching platinum Daytonas. First time I ever saw one let alone two in the wild. I was very close and clearly saw the ice blue/brown combo. No mistake. The husband was father away, but looked like he had the same on. I was stunnned, I never saw one in the wild nor at an AD!

A guy walked into an Irish pub for a World Cup game wore a Patek 5167. Rolex is fairly common sight in my area.

Here's you go, a spotted Rolex Daytona...

You´ve met Muzz?

The last rare watch I´ve seen in the wild was a RG 15202 in a hotel elevator during a business trip.

genkifd · 26 July 2018, 07:15 PM

went out for a bite to eat and saw a guy wearing a yellow gold yacht master

RMC12 · 27 July 2018, 01:15 AM

Saw sooo many in Marbella last week. WG/YG Daytonas on Oysterflex, Hulks, Kermit, Smurf, WG YMII. It was all going on.

They even had one of these in the window of the AD in Puerto Banus!!......

A guy sat opposite me on the train yesterday with a 1675/8 on a black nato, great combination of vintage and effortless class that I couldn't stop looking at.

hbryant130 · 25 March 2019, 11:53 AM

You can't just un-see that! Live in Nashville and the local AD said Steven Tyler bought one from them a couple years ago. If true, he is the only person who could successfully pull it off.

i was just in maui with my family and i saw lots of subs.

actually ended up talking with a guy about his TT yachtmaster 2. the conversation reminded me that most people dont want to talk about their watches, lol

in my home town i met a guy at a farmers market that was wearing a 70's sub, he bought i new when he was in the navy. cool old guy!

In Maui now and they are everywhere. Local AD playing the same game as many buy a ladies DJ @ list and we can get u a BLNR, don’t do me any favors.

Saw a YG YMII today, these watches look so much better on the wrist then in a case.

Yobber76 · 25 July 2018, 12:57 PM

I got on an airplane to Pittsburgh this evening with a man wearing a SS DJ with fluted bezel and blue dial. Love that blue dial!

JP(Canada) · 25 July 2018, 03:02 PM

In Vegas this week and have spotted several SS Subs and DJs, and also day date, on people's wrists so far. The dealers, on the other hand, have zero SS sport models... And I've been to a few...

I thought you meant the card dealers for a second there.

Finslayer83 · 3 August 2018, 11:06 PM

I see a '67 spider dial 5513 daily as it belongs to our VP of IT.

Saw a 16800 at Kroger on a gentleman in his 60's - said he got it as an anniversary gift new and has been wearing it since. Never been serviced or polished - it looked awesome.

I told him to look up its value when he got home....

Careful when you say Dealers in Vegas...a lot of different type of dealers in SinCity!!!

jb335 · 26 July 2018, 07:46 AM

I work in Beverly Hills. Too many to list...

Wcdhtwn · 26 July 2018, 07:51 AM

I had a customer in my shop with a great looking 5-digit pepsi recently. Also another customer wearing a RG Daytona on a strap. I couldn't get a good enough look to see if it was oysterflex or the previous version leather. I see Sub's and DJ's all the time.

Bruins7 · 26 July 2018, 07:56 AM

I work in the hospital so I don't see many watches but when I'm out and about in SoCal I've seen plenty of every so called "rare" pieces. But you name it I've seen it. Even saw the new full rose gold rootbeer on someone's wrist! What a thing of beauty it is!

gaeleus · 26 July 2018, 11:07 AM

In my part of the world, I’ve seen Daytonas, subs, lots of DJ’s, a few APROO, a 5711, 5167 and plenty of DD. Just not that rare a sighting!

MHB · 26 July 2018, 11:57 AM

I saw a 16570 polar dial in the grocery store the other day.

A guy at the playground was pushing his kid in the swing wearing a yellow gold skydweller.

And I see APs quite often.

Spam16v · 26 July 2018, 12:00 PM

Spotted a rootbeer in the wild in Kona but didn’t want to get weird mentioning it.

marc12 · 26 July 2018, 12:07 PM

Walked into a local bar to meet a friend for a drink and saw the guy sitting next to him wearing a blnr so i said “nice Batman!” And showed him my watch, he said “oh yeah the Rolex yeah I just bought it because my brother made me he said if I don’t he will haha!”

Walked away in disgust lol
