So we have a regular Sunday morning trail running group that goes to coffee afterwards. Today was a few generations as Dads, wives who run, then we met with non-running kids, and even one grandson.

I wore my "new to me" LV with the green bezel to see if anyone would notice as I've been debating on whether to change the insert to black or leave the green on.

Here's the total number of comments ....... 0

No one noticed the watch at all..... pretty much the same results that I've gotten with all of my watches or the past few decades. I'm thinking that other than us WIS obsessives, there's another world out there. I even noticed that my brother in law doesn't wear a watch at all.

Can you imagine?

Nobody ever notices my watches except watch people--as long as you know it is on and can admire it--that is all that matters!! Cheers and happy fathers' day!

MortgageGuy · 21 June 2010, 06:45 AM

Yup, no one notices... Thats why I say the green will be just fine, I wore with suit and tie and it was perfect... Its a Rolex, it goes with everything

I'm not looking for attention. What I was looking to see is if anyone would remark on a green bezel insert as opposed to the more common color of black that most people equate with a dive watch.

A good stripper will notice your watch a mile away.

So if you are looking for compliments, head to a local bar.

Since I had my LV, only one guy gave me compliment for this watch.... but I still love my LV nonetheless.

BarkMaster · 21 June 2010, 12:24 PM

I get more compliments on my hat than I do my watch.

htc8p · 21 June 2010, 12:25 PM

even with blingy pcl nobody notices but. my fathers day was fun but tiring.

ParisDakarBmw · 21 June 2010, 12:36 PM

The other guys are on other threads wondering why you didn't comment on their new running shoes, and bullet proof water bottles.... No worries..Your watch takes the cake!

tinv · 21 June 2010, 12:51 PM

Women notice each other diamond rings and hand bags.

Eric88 · 21 June 2010, 12:58 PM

I'm actually more happy when people *don't* notice my watch. I enjoy looking at my watch, but don't really invite comments unless they are coming from watch enthusiasts that can carry on a lively conversation, vs. a family member or friend commenting, "what, another fancy watch?"

Regards,
Eric

Kind of the opposite...my husband didn't wear his Sub today, and instead wore a cheaper watch. I sure as heck noticed, and ribbed him about it. The Sub would have nicely matched the fine cigar he smoked and fine whiskey he drank.

HEY!! I ALWAYS notice people's running shoes. Just like I notice BMW 1150 GS Paris Dakar motorcycles when someone is riding one.

Now, if I'm running in a neighborhood that requires a bullet proof water bottle, I'm definitely wearing my running shoes, and NOT my Rolex.

Why tiring? What did you do?

Changmaisausage · 21 June 2010, 03:44 PM

Buy a Panerai the ammount of times I've been told thats a nice big watch.

Or buy a DJII I''ve received more comments about that watch than any other.

numbsy · 21 June 2010, 04:02 PM

My ceramic tt sub gets noticed all the time.
Just recently I was having dinner and I caught the waitress starring at my watch three times while taking my order!
The coke on the other hand is "just another watch" it seems.

Joey_V · 21 June 2010, 06:51 PM

Some people notice your watch, but they just dont say anything.

Zed Homme · 21 June 2010, 08:19 PM

My watches rarely get noticed, unless Im near a fellow WIS. I do catch people staring though....
