Geography plays a huge role. Cleveland is obviously going to have more submariners, joggers, beautiful women, etc. than someplace like New York or Miami.
Walk in a Merrill Lynch office in Cleveland and you will see plenty of Rolex watches!

I see at least two every few days. One on the wrist, one in the safe when I rotate.

It’s interesting to see the vastly different number of sightings people are reporting even within the same city

Not many seen locally... and closest AD is 130 miles away. I spot lots of them when we travel though.

Man, I wished I lived in a city where Subs were on every wrist! Just today I went into my AD and asked if they had a Sub. They didn't; and the only GMT they had was a Pepsi for $35K. When I asked when they might get one in, was told they'd have to put me on a list, then wait for their supervisor to order one in, and THEN, if I wanted it, I'd have to pay the whole cost up front with a credit card over the phone before I could even come into the store to see it!

Yeah, wish Subs were everywhere...

I would have a HUGE problem with a AD requiring me to buy something which cost thousands of dollars before being allowed to see it and try it on first. What happens if they sucker you into buying the watch, you get to the store and you don't like it once you try it on?

I did, too, which was why I left shaking my head. DavidSW to the rescue, though. Mine's coming home tomorrow!

I tend to see them while traveling, a lot of the time at the airport. The Sub is the most common Rolex I see while I’m out, along with the datejust for women. I’ve also seen a fair share of BLNRs oddly enough.

I used to see them at least 50 times a Day... On my wrist now I only See YACHT-MASTER, and DAYTONA


But actually I hardly see any. There is a city in San Ramon that has a ROLEX AD and there, while shopping I see a few

I wouldn’t say everywhere but I do see them from time to time, I work in a bank and I’ve seen a couple of clients wearing sub, one was a two tone and the other was a white gold blue dial, only seen one hulk on my commute to work though.

I saw one last week on the wrist of a pet microchip salesman. It told me I've been paying too much for microchips

That makes no sense. How can a microchip be a pet?

I see them all over the place, at least once every week or two......but one has to wonder what percentage of those are fake since it is the most imitated watch that I can think of.

Don't see them often in the wild. Mostly datejust and this is Irvine, OC socal.
