Went to the Texas State Fair.
And I saw no less than a couple dozen Rolex. I saw a few DateJust II and Date Just, A ridiculous amount of Submariners. A Pepsi a couple Day Dates and a Platona. I helped a couple and their Daughter take a Picture by the Big Tex and he was wearing a Beautiful Date Just II gray dial Roman Numerals. I didn't say anything, but definitely noticed. It was cool to see it represented so well.

Last time I was in Houston I played a game of "find someone not wearing a Rolex". Seemed like the whole city had one on.

Agree on all of this.

Was supposed to be there with the family today for the Texas vs. OU game but decided to stay home after all. Nice to hear rolex is represented so well.

Don't go to the state fair in Arizona (which started yesterday) wearing a Rolex. You might not leave the fair with it.

Only one for the whole city? How do they decide who gets to wear it?

Lol. Every person I saw had a Rolex on. That's what I meant.

Hey Rolex wouldn't open a boutique in Houston if there wasn't demand for it.
