Highest saturation from what I've seen is Hong Kong or any major city in China. That said, haven't been to Dubai or Abu Dhabi :).

Probably any place that has a lot of "wealthier" people.

Personally, I've seen a lot of people wearing Rolex brand watches in Monaco, Cannes and believe it or not, I've actually seen more people wearing Rolex watches in Abu Dhabi then Dubai. Although Dubai probably takes the cake for most Rolex stores and jewellers that sell Rolex watches - I swear if you go to a jeweller there, there is probably going to be a few too many Rolex watches in every window.

Well I think everyone on my jet to Sardegna had one. Not kidding. I think 90 percent of them were SS Daytonas with a white face too.

I've seen many Rolex watches while on Caribbean cruises. I've also spotted swarms of them in some restaurants around Lake Tahoe.

Yeah... that's what I believe.

For every 10 Rolex I see on a persons arm, T'm guessing 6 are fake.

So true. Here in Italy there seems to be an endless availability of PCL ceramic Subs, either normal or green.

A scary but true fact...

"The net profit of the estimated 40 million counterfeit watches sold each year is valued at roughly $1 billion. The trade is equal to 6 percent of the Swiss Watch Industry’s exports"

The most Subs I've seen in one place was at the Dive Show in Birmingham. Simply LOADS of people wearing them.

Not a geographical place but a work-place....the military is where I have
seen the most. Of course these are mostly sport models.

Rolexes are extremely common in most major cities in the world. I've lived in NYC, Boston, Hong Kong, and Dubai and literally saw them everywhere. Working on Wall Street, every first year analyst with a bonus has a SS Sub or GMT. If people are looking for rarity, I would suggest they stay away from Rolex.

Agusta National for the Masters. I think I might have spent more time looking at wrists than watching golf.
