Comic-Con and Rolex spotting
Ok sorry flame suit on for no pics but...
Went over to comi con this weekend and boy were there some watches! I saw a few 16610s, YM, TT sub, Off Shore. Anyone else happen to be in San Diego this weekend? |

I try to avoid downtown this weekend. Way too crowded for me. Took the train down for opening day at Del Mar and I guess it was the early opening for Comic-Con...never do that again.

Comi con - a bigger nerd fest than TRF. I wonder if there is a forum somewhere asking if it's safe to wear a batman suit in the shower or highlighting complaints about scratches to a Superman cape.

There was a TRF GTG in San Diego yesterday. Check the Meeting Point section.

Darn it! I check the GTG section from time to time but haven't in a few weeks.
Sorry I missed out. |

I'm surprised you saw any watches at all, let alone ROLEX.

Yeah, must admit I was thinking that myself. Wouldn't have expected to see any Rolex.

You know I was talking to my wife about the watches I saw... then I got to thinking...
People at comic con are considered "nerds" so why not have a decent "nerdy" career that pays well enough to afford a decent watch? You can never judge a comic book by its cover! |

There are some very wealthy people that go to comic-con. Studio heads, actors, and nerdy business men (one of my business partners included). We have an office in Carlsbad and there was a significant increase in the number of private planes/corp jets there during comic-con.

It's just that the predominant attendee to these cons are millennials and they don't care about luxury watches in any way what so ever....

The predominant attendee to Comic con is actually aged between 30 - 49.
