Best place to spot nice watches
Spent the past few weeks in NW Maui, attended the Sentry Golf Tournament there during the final round and spotted literally hundreds of Rolex and other nice watches. During my stay four separate enthusiasts commented on my watch which was the first four times anybody has! Both Rolex dealers on the island were completely out imagine that, but were friendly. Great place to watch spot.

Anywhere with lots of drug dealers and cash-only money laundering places.

I’ve never been to one, but I’ll offer an F1 race as an event to see a lot of watches. Anything where Rolex is a lead sponsor ought to bring them out in droves.

Miami, NYC, LA “, the Hamptons…..any big city in a nice area…but just go out to “normal areas” and you be will not see many.
In my office, a high-end design firm in Mid-Atlantic USA large city, about 300+ people I know only 5 of us have as Rolex or more, one Tudor/Nomos, of those 6 people, 4 are partners. 1 woman gold dj…But many Apple. A few have Shinola, and they are partners. 2 have Hermes watch, 1 Chanel (females) I’m the only one with PP. Therefore, only 2.33% of my office owns a Rolex. If my city has 700,000 people , and I use my office percentage # that’s a little over 16k Rolex in the city? LOL

In terms of events I find Golf to be #1 and Auto Racing to be #2 for spotting high end watches.

Going to my place in Naples end of February. I am sure 5th Ave will be loaded along with every nice restaurant. I was there two weeks ago and I think was a little too early for the snow bird crowd. Silver hair and a Rolex seems like a pre requisite to live there now.

Was in Miami over December. Everyone and their dog had one
Out of the literally hundreds I saw, an old 16710 stood out the best. |
