Got noticed...

Was having a water cooler conversation with one of my colleagues today when out of the blue he made a comment about my watch. I was really surpised since he's not a WIS by any means and we usually talk quite often.

This is the first time I've ever received a comment (positive or otherwise) about any of my watches. Call me shallow and needing the reassurance of others to feel good about myself, but it actually did feel nice that someone noticed. Anyhow, just wanted to gloat a bit.

Gotta love that. While it rarely ever happens, it's always nice to know someone notices our good looking watches...

Thanks guys. I had my trusty Sea Dweller on. I reckon the bright lights of the office reflecting off the shiny bezel and glossy dial caught his attention.

I agree. I can't stand when somebody says "that is a expensive watch" or "wish I could afford that". Comments like that really aggravate me but I do like it when people comment or notice the quality of a nice time piece

nice story!

well, you experienced one of the many emotional benefits of rolex ownership that can't be be explained with technobabble or even simple logic.

great, isn't it?
