Can't stop myself, at the grocery store, getting fuel for my car, restaurants...everywhere. I keep looking at guys wrists, and if I see anything that might resemble a Rolex I do a -double-take- until I'm satisfied with knowing that I accurately spotted one and that I know which model it is. Anyone else? Am I just turning into a weirdo?
I can tell I've made some guys a bit uncomfortable, sorry I'm sick.

No, I don't spend time staring at men's wrists, I would much rather spend time looking for a Rolex, or Cartier on a ladies wrist...

drockadam · 16 January 2012, 08:25 AM

I do it all the time. Haha!

F&Iguy · 16 January 2012, 08:28 AM

i'm sick with you! I say to my wife he or she has a rolex on. In her words (YOUR SICK quite looking at people)

millmax · 16 January 2012, 08:32 AM

Ha ha I even look at the news readers, thats how sick I am

Jetjock · 16 January 2012, 08:50 AM

Be Carefull, You might get a black eye, If you know what I mean! LOL

MoBe · 16 January 2012, 08:57 AM

Maybe in 20 or 30 years modern medicine will find a cure.

jctrolex · 16 January 2012, 09:05 AM

Yes you are a weirdo just like my family thinks I am. Don't worry though there's tons of us in this forum.

matt4hand · 16 January 2012, 09:07 AM

I'm a watch stalker as well, don't feel bad. :-)

thewatchguy93 · 16 January 2012, 09:10 AM

I don't look at peoples faces either...

MJK737 · 16 January 2012, 09:13 AM

I do it all the time. Just try and be discreet. My wife thinks I'm nuts and messes with me, She will see a dude with what appears to be a nice watch and ask me what kind it is. She will do this in public or at home watching television. Then she sits backs and gets free entertainment as I try and accomplish my mission. I get her back by taking watch photos, it drives her nuts.

Auto16610 · 16 January 2012, 09:16 AM

On the NFL playoff sports commentator show has a beautiful gold Rolex with a big Super Bowl gold ring to match. So nice! I can't help but notice it!

RC2 · 16 January 2012, 10:12 AM

It's normal. You're not sick.... My wife would disagree with me but I know I am in good company here! Nothing like talking watches for about an hour over lunch... My wife has no idea how I can do that. Rich

This EXACT exchange happens with my wife as well. Ridiculous. Haha

GradyPhilpott · 16 January 2012, 11:33 AM

How can you be a WIS and not notice what others are wearing?

Linzjnr · 16 January 2012, 11:37 AM

I love wrist spotting!

I tell my missus what I see sometimes and she just shakes her head

, Hey I enjoy it

liuk3 · 16 January 2012, 02:01 PM

We've all got the same afliction. Just had dinner last night with some friends visiting from the Bay Area. Everyone notices everyone else's watches. The husband had a Daytona and the wife had a 36mm DJ. We all start pulling off our watches, my DSSD and my wife's 26mm DJ, and we start trying each others watches on.

oneillba · 16 January 2012, 02:06 PM

I do it too. Harmless fun.

blackmsport · 16 January 2012, 02:10 PM

same here ... peopl think I am a watch snatcher

Maxfli · 16 January 2012, 02:12 PM

Yeah, I'm guilty of that sometimes too. They key word is "stealth." Best to not let another man catch you staring at his hands.

It could be misinterpreted.

Andelain · 16 January 2012, 04:05 PM

I've been known to discreetly take pics. One time on a plane I saw a nice YG DD. I managed to get a pic without anyone seeing, and when I looked at it on my computer in full res it turned out to be fake!

Another time I went to a knife show, and whenever I needed to rest I'd sit at the door by the ticker-checker. It was on the left side of the door, a perfect view of all the cool watches going by. I saw more Rolexes that day than at an AD! Saw a load of Breitlings and Omegas, too.

Arrows58 · 16 January 2012, 08:57 PM

I too suffer from this debilitating social disease.

bigwatchman · 16 January 2012, 11:04 PM

I am guilty as charged also. There is no help for this matter. Just the support here amongst ourselves.

dddrees · 17 January 2012, 12:13 AM

Buy 2 Rolex watches and call me in the morning if you don't feel better.
