I once had a guy ask me if I was wearing the Rolex "submersible", he said that he liked that model but that he was more of a Yachtsman kind of guy...

I love your Nixon. That SkyDweller is gorgeous and was not originally on my radar but your pics are making me rethink that one.

I never heard about that Nixon brand. The guy knows more about watches than I do.

Lol! No that pic is from somewhere else. That's an old pic. I don't want to be seen taking photos of my watch in a restaurant. 😄

You should have said no, it's a fake Nixon.
I once had someone asked me if my GMT II is a real Rolex. I just said to him "it looks real doesn't it?"
