I tend to notice watches being worn, but most people don't. I rarely have someone comment or mention mine.

Like everyone here, I have the same condition where I have to notice everyone's watch. If my hairstylist or barber had a nice watch I would talk to him/her about watches instead of the boring stories we have to come with. Then I'll ask for him every time to talk more about watches.:thumpsup:

You can get something on a rubber band. An AP diver maybe to avoid scratches on the bracelet.

Mine wears a Rolex, and we spend a lot of time talking about watches while he tries to do something amazing with my hair. I actually enjoy going just because we spend so much time talking about watches .. Cars too .. Another favorite of mine

Hey there I am a hairdresser here in Chicago. It happened once while wearing a coke GMT. A client of mine who is into watches noticed it. Most of my clients have no clue. Saying this I tend to only wear my EXI while behind the chair. When I have office time I'll wear my 116718, AP Diver, or AP 15300. I hit my 15300 on a door while changing towels and thought I was going to die. I am not as concerned about product, shampoo, hair, etc... on my EXI. Where do you work (You can PM me) I have friends who work all over NYC

I'm sort of in the same boat. I have been shaving my head since I was 14. (Trimmers w/no gaurd). Usually it pisses guys off though because I have a full head of thick hair w/no receding hair line and I want it shaved!! lol

Part of my genetics I will never lose my hair...

YES, and I would appreciate his/her taste. Furthermore, I would likely complement them on their taste and the specific model.

It is my practice to not care what others think about my watches, a sub is meant to get wet and go deep under tremendous pressure, just about any normal daily use scratch will polish out and had you motioned the etc. I am sure there are appropriate answers to them as well. Conclusion: Get your watch back or buy another one.

Absolutely. The guy who cuts my hair has a Rolex and a PAM. We talk watches every time I get my haircut. It's fun. :-)

The bloke who cuts my hair is a friend, neighbour and fellow Man City fan. He has a 16610LV which he has owned from new for about 9-10 years and in that time he's told me it's been in for repair 7 times and that it has always lost several minutes a day. He's told me he complained to Rolex a few years back and they sent him a letter basically fobbing him off saying that you buy a Rolex for the heritage and not the accuracy. I've asked him for a copy of the letter and said I should post it on here for feedback and opinion.
