Too many in the wild

vv83 · 26 October 2018, 12:58 PM

Everywhere but so expensive this year

Tiptac · 26 October 2018, 04:42 PM

You see them all the time here in Singapore

TonyYu · 31 October 2018, 01:34 PM

It is everywhere... it is a fact in my country and around place that I work.

superstarmar · 31 October 2018, 01:43 PM

All my neighbors have them.
All my coworkers have them...
Everyone in my family has one... sheesh !!!

Why do I have one ???

Come on , stop with the BS...

10 pages... ??? OMG

Dirt · 31 October 2018, 01:45 PM

Other than my own.
The last one i saw around these parts was a few years ago now. It was a Bluesy.
Prior to that it was many years ago. Sub date.
My wife spotted one that looked real enough to her, it was a Kermit and quite a few months ago now.

Another two i've seen were not real but passable at first glance.

I've been in Korea for over 3 years. The sub is the watch that many men desire in Korea but to be honest, yeah I don't actually see all that many around Seoul. Lot's of DJ's on older gentlemen. It seems like most of the subs I do see tend to be on the wrists of really young guys who look like they begged their parents for one and are often dressed in whatever is popular that week. I think I might see just as many or more panerais.

mr94941 · 31 October 2018, 02:07 PM

Daily event, usually multiples in Marin County. Im considering buying two tone.

eonflux · 31 October 2018, 02:33 PM

Yeah, too common, relatively

steve099 · 31 October 2018, 06:27 PM

I see them a bit here and there, mainly due to me taking notice of such things but I have never even seen a Smurf in the wild, not in 10 years!

samson66 · 31 October 2018, 09:35 PM

I wouldn't say they are everywhere, but I would say probably two thirds of the time I see someone wearing a Rolex it's a Sub

crazymcmichael · 31 October 2018, 09:45 PM

A LOT of DSSD over here. ………………. But a lot of Subs aswell……. And even a lot of YM's… Especially in Amsterdam it is terrible , many tries to get a lot of attention there , and them simple minded ones try this with Rolex and AP... Maybe it are fakes, i cant see from a distance but in the place i live in everyone is 'wealthy'' enough to buy whatever they desire so most likely it are real watches. But if i see those people sporting one i fully understand why Rolex has started those shortage of SS lol..
Another problem is that the average luxury watch wearer in my country simply is not the type of behaved person you expect it on... It is more some kind of charlatan...……. The only Rolex that i havent spotted on this kind of people is a Explorer 2 tbh.. Excluding myself offcourse ROFL!

hitman23 · 31 October 2018, 10:37 PM

Charlatans! Where they at?

xtra3cats · 31 October 2018, 11:24 PM

Yep and they are everywhere for a good reason.

Maybe it’s because I have a math and science background, and maybe I take things too literally, but these types of threads crack me up.

Population of New York City is 8.5 million.

Population of Singapore is 5.7 million.

Population of London 8.7 million

Population of Honk Kong is 7.4 million.

World population is 7.53 billion.

If you look at things from a global scale, literally less than .0001% of humans in the universe have a Submariner.

Hahaha can't argue with numbers. How about ratio of Rolex owners out there who wear Subs?

Subs aren’t that special.

vipereaper30 · 5 January 2019, 11:41 AM

I just moved to what our current CIC would call a s$&thole, so it's rare for me to see something nice. I think those of you who see these often should be grateful to live in better locations.

Zhos · 5 January 2019, 11:43 AM

Everything is relative, a sub is definitely understated luxury that is copied like no other model.

lamnyc · 5 January 2019, 11:59 AM

See them all the time in nyc. Specially the knockoffs being sold on the streets.

Air Rescue 5 · 5 January 2019, 12:20 PM

But Apple watches.....EVERYWHERE!

_speedmaster_ · 5 January 2019, 12:57 PM

Most common watch I see in nyc (other than the Apple watch).

On weekends in Singapore's shopping districts you'll spot a sub/gmt every few mins sometimes in succession. All variants from SS TT to YG. Almost ubiquitous.

reddog4063 · 5 January 2019, 01:20 PM

I see 2-4 confirmed sightings in Manhattan a month and probably a 6 half dozen "not-sures" or homages, its not always easy to confirm.

mistercoach32 · 5 January 2019, 01:34 PM

When I see posts like "subs are everywhere," I can't help but think of my 8 year old little girl who regularly speaks in absolutes. "My teacher always screams at my class" even though I know for fact that's not remotely close to accurate. For me, I live in Wisconsin so it's a rare, rare occasion I see a Sub or any Rolex for that matter. I used to live and work in one of the wealthiest communities in the US and I spend two months every year on vacation in another and I see more Subs than in Wisconsin, but not that much more relatively speaking. I see cell phones and automobiles everywhere, but not Subs.
