Someone on eBay sells them pretty regularly. Not that I would buy one but, they are out there.

Disney World? I'm sure there are many dads and grand dads wearing Rolex. If you keep looking you'll eventually see some

Would look great as huge hoop earrings. I'll have to get a pair for my wife.

At the prices for travel, hotels, rental cars, tickets, etc...I'm not surprised - many Rolexes may have gone to pawn to pay!

When I was there a couple months ago I saw my first Hulk in the wild...I didn't notice very many either but I was sure sporting one of mine.

^Maybe it was me if it was in April, I was there twice then .

We go frequently and the only Rolexes I see are black subs. I think I saw an older dude one time wearing an older day date but that's about it. Most people either weren't wearing watches or were wearing Apple watches/fit bits.

...and don't forget that each of the main parks only have about 3 special rides truly worth experiencing and 2 of them get booked up on Fastpass months in advance. We once paid $500 for our family to go to EPCOT for a day and Soarin' and Test Track were completely booked with no stand-by line. We were shut out. We were flabbergasted.

If I were a bracelet-guy I'd be intrigued. Quite nice actually.

Agree. I am just not at all a bracelet guy. Just glad the bezel inserts are not genuine. Nice limey LV bezels are becoming a little scarce.

No kidding. I feel like I'm getting mugged at Disney and I'm not even there with family and kids!!!! I really liked the $20 plastic fan that had sparkly lights on it that misted water.

Agree. I was there in March during spring break and seen one Hulk besides the one I was wearing. MOST folks there that I observed do not wear any watch at all. I have concluded that with the exception of folks like us on watch forums, watch wearing among the general public is on the decline, big time!
As for the millennial generation watch wearing is almost non existent.

But the majority where Apple watch
