I have a great appreciation for fine things (coins, guns, art, jewelry, antiques, etc.). When I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford something fine, sometimes I get caught absently "gazing" at it in a loving sort of way (i.e. my TT Rolex DJ). Has anyone ever been caught "gazing" at your Rolex in public just admiring its beauty? Did it embarrass you? What did you say?

AstroBoy · 11 May 2010, 04:19 AM

Doing it with my TT Datona and now recent EXP-II sometimes.....and having a very good feeling too!

GerardoG · 11 May 2010, 04:20 AM

Guilty here.

I haven't been 'caught' so to speak, but I do it all the time. And, if someone asked, I'd reply something along the lines of: "Just checking the time for my next appt." (Of some such drivel)

DerekS · 11 May 2010, 04:32 AM

about 12 hours of the day haha. and when Im looking right at it, you could ask me the time and Id have no idea.

The GMT IIc is just too darn pretty not to look at.

Chipmunk · 11 May 2010, 04:38 AM

I do it all the time....

smallcandle · 11 May 2010, 04:41 AM

Oh yeah, I get caught gazing at mine quite regularly. What is actually more embarrassing is when I'm caught gazing at someone else's Rolex in public. I usually look away quickly, which now that I think about it, probably makes the situation just that much more awkward.

sushisummo · 11 May 2010, 04:51 AM

can't stop looking at it.

chris russell · 11 May 2010, 04:58 AM

Now she doesn't notice how often I gaze at her.

cdweller · 11 May 2010, 05:02 AM

sakuraba · 11 May 2010, 05:56 AM

I catch myself gazing at it when I'm driving!

j ingram · 11 May 2010, 09:16 AM

All the time!

JMIND · 11 May 2010, 09:28 AM

I look at mine and and have to look a second time to see what the time is.

Same here. I've even caught myself staring at my Daytona and THEN taking my Blackberry out to check the time. Is that a bit ridiculous? Yes. Do I care? NOPE! Beauty is meant to be admired.

rolexgolfer · 11 May 2010, 10:14 AM

My excuse.. It takes me a while to read the time!

inLine4 · 11 May 2010, 10:23 AM

dgr8dude · 11 May 2010, 10:35 AM

Sometimes I wear two watches at the same time at home and gaze at them which drives my wife crazy...LOL Good thing I only have 1 watch left for now(My beloved Sub LV), but once I get my GMTIIc, I'm back in business....

mlehman · 11 May 2010, 10:54 AM

LOL..I`m the same..sometimes I get them all out in front of me when I`m watching TV and just look at them..my wife laughs...but she has been bugging my watch guy to finish hers, new diamond dial and diamond bezel, she can`t wait

Porsche · 11 May 2010, 01:06 PM

At least 2-3 times every day.

I have been warned that it will make me go blind

but I just can't help myself.

Oh wait, what was the question again?
