...at other peoples wrists. Not out of vanity or a need to compare what's on mine to theirs. More out of a curiosity to see others taste in these fine mechanical creations.

Does anyone else have this same tendency?

MattyL147 · 7 August 2014, 09:50 AM

Every chance I get. In the same boat!

Snow-Dweller · 7 August 2014, 09:56 AM

All the time

Ste_J · 7 August 2014, 10:00 AM

I try not to stare, but I always have a discreet glance!

Rolexpharm · 7 August 2014, 10:01 AM

Yes I do the same. I even struck up a conversation with a guy wearing a SubC

I've done the same several times. I've also had several ask about my watch when I wear my 60s Seamaster Deville that my stepdad gave me.

Same thing. Last week in a packed elevator I said "Nice GMT" to a guy who probably didnt even know that it was a GMT.

Haha...so are you saying it was more of a status purchase?

thomaspp · 7 August 2014, 10:19 AM

Haha. Yes!

AK797 · 7 August 2014, 10:45 AM

I look but try not to stare. I remember a few years ago meeting a forum member to buy a watch and the way he looked at my watch rather than at me as I walked in and sat down made me understand how hot girls feel walking thru a nightclub. Hey, pal, I'm up here!

I never look at someone's watch when I'm interacting with them. Only in passing.

cop414 · 7 August 2014, 10:50 AM

Guilty, do it all the time!

ExplorerChris · 7 August 2014, 10:51 AM

Constantly looking
I've been in the sale of luxury goods for a very long time so I look for watches and with ladies it's watches, shoes and handbags. And I like to see what others are wearing as well.

This.

RHIII · 7 August 2014, 11:18 AM

Absolutely! And I tell my wife...look they're wearing a ...xyz...usually followed by..."you're an idiot..."...she doesn't get excited like I do... Especially if I see something unique around here like another Daytona!

Ryuden · 7 August 2014, 11:28 AM

Yup...most of the time...

yOyOYoo · 7 August 2014, 12:09 PM

I always look, but never comment.

The few times I've thought about commenting, I realized that the "Submariner" they were wearing was a quartz knockoff.

Chaching · 7 August 2014, 12:38 PM

always looking....most are looking at mine though.....

Brucie D · 7 August 2014, 12:41 PM

Spotted a 116613LB from across a restaurant patio the other night. Wife accused me of staring at the guy's girlfriend. Lol.

Kingair · 7 August 2014, 12:44 PM

So do I but I'm already at the next level I guess

No more men . . .

I only scan for the good looking ladies wearing Rolex . . . . ;)
