I went out last night with a friend and he brought along some others I knew but barely. 5 of us total. Shocker. Being the WIS that I am I quickly looked at everybody's wrist to see what timepiece they were wearing.

Breakdown. Me I had on my White Dial SS Daytona.

Amongst the others was a new Sub Date.

A 5513 Submariner. Very old one too in great shape. A gift passed on to my friend from his Dad.

A Zenith Black Dial SS Daytona. L serial number I think he said.

A Black Dial SS Daytona.

Everyone of us had on a Rolex and we did not plan this. Great Rolex viewing and due to my membership here on this forum I was able to tell everybody a little something they did not know about thier watches. I may have came off as an idiot savant even with all the knowledge learned here I was spewing.

Fortunately did not drink so that was the only thing I was spewing.

Wish I had my camera, but then they might have thought I was weirder than I actually am as I took pictures of thier wrists.

Tom,

That story is so amazing. That sort of thing would not happen here that readily in Melbourne.

Cheers

Nice story. Thanks for sharing.

What are the odds that all five would have the same brand of watch?

21! WOW! I was refering to me as the nutcase.

Yeah, Tom, I've had nights like that. Most people don't even notice because it's just a tool watch. That's what you wear in that world. No WIS but me present. So I never "spewed." Of course that was way before I joined this forum and didn't know enough (and still don't) to "spew" about.

Rolexitis · 3 June 2008, 01:50 AM

That would be nice....I rarely am in company of other Rolexes. I feel like I'm all alone out here

marshallr47 · 3 June 2008, 03:36 AM

Good story. It's nice to talk or hang out with others that share the same interests. Thanks for sharing.
