At the Grand Wailea on Maui. There was a State Farm presidents club trip and it look like all of those guys had DJ's or Subs. I was standing in line for towels and there was 4 Subs within 10 feet of each other.

OK, on my night stand next to my bed seems to have the highest concentration of Rolexes I've seen.

I think it's safe to assume that wherever there are people with money, there will be Rolexes...

Lol, my father always said Rolex was for desk divers, banking and insurance executives! Some of his watches like his Movado Datron are much cooler than any Rolex.

I remember trying to camp out on Grand Isle; those mosquitoes went right through my sleeping bag. When we retreated to the car they tried to carry it away back to the swamp.

Being born and raised in San Diego I would 100% agree that La Jolla proper has a ton of Rolex owners.

Heck San Diego in general has a lot of Rolex wearers. After that I would say Las Vegas.

Lately, the BMW dealership had plenty of customers wearing Rolex. Then, yesterday at Wawa near work, I saw two guys wearing white dial Rolex models- a Datejust and an Explorer II. High concentration of white dials with my Daytona added to the mix!

I'm going to be more specific than "NYC"... The most Rolexes I've seen recently was at the new Whitney Museum (which I recommend visiting, btw). There were a bunch.

As always, though, there are as many or more women who wear rolexes than men!

Other notes: In Wall St. boardrooms, Breguet apparently commands a lot of attention. A recent meeting was delayed when a senior c-level guy had to ask about the Breguet on the wrist of an analyst who was going to present a report or somesuch...

I've seen a DateJust once at an IHOP around my house. An older gentleman was on his way out of the restaurant wearing a TT DateJust on a Jubilee bracelet. Ever since joining TRF, I've been looking at other people's watches more and more.
