I've always been looking at other peoples watches, even when I was a young child...or still am! :P

Welcome to the club

20 years, and still no cure

fc3s2k · 7 July 2011, 04:49 AM

No problem whatsoever!!

You are now officially a WIS!!!

Congratulation and welcome to the madness!!!!!!

Brian J · 7 July 2011, 05:52 AM

All the time. I call it wrist stalking. I work in a downtown area with a lot of skyways, during the lunch hour I can walk around looking at watches, plus there's an AD in the skyway not far from me and then let me try on whatever I want.

B. Doggy · 7 July 2011, 07:00 AM

Kinda fun IMHO.

ANYWAY, I do not want the cure either!

I can almost, and it is a stretch, understand watching Dancing With The Stars. But, admitting such - I cannot comprehend.

Nalk7 · 7 July 2011, 07:18 AM

Comes with being a WIS. When I meet new people I somtimes forget their names, but always remember their faces and watches

latest case was watching transformers 3 and noticing that Buzz Aldrin wasn't wearing his speedy in the opening scene -_-

So you have taken it one step further, noticing when people aren't wearing watches. WIS 2.0

valgolfs · 7 July 2011, 08:05 AM

I can't stop

Welcome to the club!

imaddhatter · 7 July 2011, 08:12 AM

Don't worry, I think we all do it. I find myself doing while I'm on the train, it's funny when I catch someone else doing it too...lol

Everywhere I go I check people's watches. In movies and on TV I check people's watches.

Last night we started the latest season of Dexter and I'm staring at Quinn's arm wondering if it's a Rolex (even pausing it to get a closer look - much to the hatred of my wife :) ).

Anyone else have this problem? Will it wear off after a while?!

I think I need help lol

Yes, but I'm now in recovery

Ditto, I do it most of the time. It just happens automatically and it could be a bit distracting sometimes. I don't mind having the disease though. It's fun. :D

jnkay · 7 July 2011, 02:25 PM

6 years ago I was oblivious to watches. In fact I often forgot to wear a watch to work and when I did wear it, I did so only because it was work dress. Since I caught the bug it has shown no sign of abating. The only "progress" I have made is that a few other brands have caught my interest.

rickyinrio · 7 July 2011, 02:35 PM

I was watching Piers Morgan tonigt interviewing Kid Rock and, for my satisfaction, he was wearing a very familiar watch brand, yes, the camera was mostly on his face but I could identify when they opened a bitmore showing a 3/4 shot of his full body allowing me to see his wrist wearing a gold DJ w/president bracelet . That was a show apart. Loved it!

You need help buddy. Get a larger TV screen so you can spot those watches easier without pissing your wife!

drdenn · 7 July 2011, 04:13 PM

Been doing this since the late 90's. Saw Adam Levine (Maroon 5) on Leno a few weeks back and noticed he was wearing a Sub...upon further review (rewind & pause) I noticed it didn't have crown guards, that it had an old style bracelet and a nice patina...It was a vintage sub straight out of the 50's! And yes...your wifes will think your a loser for this, as mine has made it clear to me that if I value my sex life, I will no longer include her in these types of discussions!

ROLEX MAN · 7 July 2011, 04:27 PM

You have "ROLEXITIS"

travisb · 7 July 2011, 07:14 PM

It never stops.
I'm always checking everyone's wrist no matter where it is.

xjeeunitx · 7 July 2011, 07:44 PM

I do the same bro. I don't there is a cure for people like us.

Mistry · 7 July 2011, 07:59 PM

Puffy · 8 July 2011, 06:29 AM

capote · 8 July 2011, 06:32 AM
