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.

I see a ton of Rolexes here in Vegas, mainly on the strip. Drunken dudes with pastel polo shirts or untucked dress shirts sporting Sub variants are a dime a dozen.

I also saw them frequently when I worked in the consulting industry in Chicago.

Easiest question ever. Any major golf tournament, esp the Masters. Remote there than Dubai, USE, NYC, Vegas etc. the masters patrons will wear some Nice watches.

When I was in Hong Kong they were all over the place. Also Tokyo. for some reason I have seen more Daytonas in Tokyo rather than here in LA. Which makes me think maybe it was the crowd that I was with there?
