I must be in the Matrix.......

[HONDABBQ]

I have read countless threads in my time here about no one noticing or saying anything about the watches we wear. From reading those posts the general consensus is that no one cares or says anything about them.

Well I must be the anomaly.

I got my first comment going through a Tim Hortons drive thru about a year ago. The guy working the window makes a comment to me. Everytime I go to the location he says " Hey its Rlex guy". I did nothing out of the normal that paying for my items. I didn't flash it I just reached out to pay.

My company has 2 buildings. I used to work at the other building and rarely go over there anymore. I was there just before Christmas and I had 2 staff say nice watch. They asked to see it up close and I obliged.

A few weeks ago I was at an NHL hockey game and ran into some guys I know in my business. They were entertaining a client. the client says " that's a nice looking watch". that turned into a short conversation about watches.

Just over this past weekend I was out shoe shopping and trying on a pair of shoes. The young guy is talking to me about shoes. As I go to try on a pair he says. "hey that s a nice looking watch. Is that a Rolex? I replied yes it is. He asks to look at it and makes a few comments on it.


That's 4 comments towards me in the past year and a bit and 3 in the last 2 months. I assure you I am doing nothing out of the ordinary to flash the watch or make it obvious. I am just a blue collar worker (chef) and just going on about my day.
