It has to be Hong Kong. You see Rolex from all walks of lives here, from the elite to waiter and taxi driver, young and old, male and female.... Of other places I've been to, it has to be Italy. If you, like all watch lovers, have an eye for these things on wrists, you see tons of Rolex and other beautiful watches the minute you arrive there. (But as strange as it seems, I don't think Panerai being as popular there as in other places like say, New York.)

Japan in general, it is like a common watch.

Definitely not here in Melbourne.

They are rarer than hen's teeth here down under.

So rare, I get excited when I see one in the wild.

I'm going to say cities like Washington DC. DC, although there is plenty of "money" here, is not as luxury forward as cities like New York and LA.

Rolexes are everywhere here, I have yet to see an AP here (they are everywhere in places like LA, New York, and Miami) and just a sprinkle of Pateks.

Subs and gold rolexes seem to be the norm in this area.

I have to say, it got to be Hong Kong and, Singapore

in Dubai, yes, it is relatively popular but you also see lots of other watches that have all the blings (diamonds, gold and what have you). The Arabs love their blings.

A place called Dream Cafe in Dallas, Texas. I go often on Sunday and it's for some reason always filled with other Rolex owners.
