Great story! Isn’t nice to find watches as a common with a stranger.

I have actually had quite a few watch conversations at that Publix. And it is about the only place I’ve ran into many different Rolex. The most common I’ve ran into were other 16613lb’s. It seems I can’t go a week without seeing at least one besides mine. But at that Publix I’ve seen multiple different PM models, stainless Daytona, quite a few variations of datejusts.

Eh, it’s simply an attitude and a choice. I lived life as a very nasty person for many years. Life has been much more fulfilling and joyful to me since I started being kind.

Thank you though!

Great story and I’m guessing this experience will put a smile on your face every time you think of it which will probably be every time you pull into that Publix

I will certainly remember Dave. He made my day, even though at first I felt terrible because I thought I scared an older gentleman into running.

If more people did such things, this world would be a much better place. Well done. You went from potentially ruining someone’s day to probably making it one of his best ones. Good story and great picture of two beautiful watches.

I agree 100%. Be a role model for others when the opportunity presents itself.

Thank you for the kind words.
