Never in the wild.

Only at AD and it was a BLRO WG Meteroid dial.

I want to say, GMT is not that common in China. HK, sometimes but I see Daytona and Sub a lots.

Besides my own ceramic Pepsi that I wear a fair amount, I all tried on another at a watch gathering I planned with some core members.

Also, saw one on the wrist of the Porsche sales manager.

I never see Daytonas. Had black and now have the white dial. I can’t imagine I’d miss one. Usually 5 digit subs, datejusts or daydate.

Only once. March 2019 at a local AD in San Francisco while picking up my 116618 Submariner, a gentleman was waiting to pick up a watch and was wearing the GMT 126710BLRO.

BLRO like 3-4 times in Middle East. Mainly in the high end luxury places. Sprite one and Batman twice. And many subs. Never seen a Panda Daytona in the wild though yet. In Europe there is a lot less desirable Rolex’s in the wild so rarer to see. Anyone else experience similar ?

Have you seen a 126710BLRO in the wild?

Naples, on the other hand, is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Luxury cars and watches galore.

None. A few 16710's and one BLNR at the grocery store after another customer noticed mine.

I've seen 4 in the wild in the past 4 years.
Saw one at an Atlanta Braves game.
Saw one on a first-class passenger when boarding a flight.
Saw one on a woman's wrist in a high-end shopping district.
Saw one in the club section of Mercedez Benz Stadium.

Just saw another last night at dinner.
An older woman was wearing it on a Jub.
She saw me looking and pointed to my DD 40, smiled and gave me a thumbs up!
I see a few Rolex models every day in my area.
