Pick any beach town along the PCH/HWY 1.

Cars & Coffee is a easy place to find them.

When was that?
Because there have been some high dollar watch robberies recently and people are a little more hesitant to flex their watches in LA.

Miami is a decent answer. I live here and I see some nice stuff. Still Patek is a relatively rare spot. Tons of Rolex (lots fake) and good amount of AP. Less of most else.

Monaco, Dubai DIFC, F1 races, Miami Beach, US Car shows.

And pretty much any “clubby” place around the world.

Maybe two years ago. It honestly made my head turn, it was wild. I can imagine things might be a little different now.

Yep. Even the guy who drives my building's shuttle bus wears one. They're ten a penny here (and all real, too). ADs been here since the 1930s...longer than most places.

I went to an Oklahoma City Thunder game a couple of months ago. They are essentially a college team now (average age on the team is 23). Maybe 5,000 people at the game and I saw three white dial Daytonas. Plus I spotted one pretty impressive 36mm Explorer on my wrist.
