As I walk around campus I've always got my eyes peeled, trying to spot the nicest watch I can. In the 3 and some years I've been here, the nicest watch I've seen so far, other than mine that is, is a Rolex Air King.

What's the nicest or coolest watch you've seen, other than your own of course, as you've gone about your daily activities?

Have spotted PLENTY of Rolex, a few JLC's, Patek's, Omega, Girard-Perregaux

When I waited to pick up my 116718 in New Bond St, London I glanced at two Newman dialed 6241s a 1665 NOS, Milgauss 6541, Double Red and others that I can't even remember.

All in a shoddy display cabinet. It was surreal.

The next time I visited I just missed the armed robbery by 30 minutes, seriously.

Best I've seen is a lonely Air-King. Beyond that, you're talking Invicta or lower- G-Shocks rule.

Not that hard to spot nice watches in New york city. Just stand outside of Wempe and you'll see a bunch of old men with Hublots, Pateks, vintage Rolex, Audemars, and even A Langes.

asadtiger · 24 September 2009, 07:56 AM

best I seen is Rolexes...a lot of DJs and once a Bluesy.

sakuraba · 24 September 2009, 08:55 AM

Don't get to see much rolexes around here, but I did spot a Calatrava in SFO. Couldn't believe it at first, but I talked to the guy and he seemed very WISish so I'm guessing it was the real deal.

Best one I've seen in the flesh is a Royal Oak Offshore with a rubber strap. Huge angular thing that looks like a tank!

Next nicest ones are a TT gmt II and the white gold sub.

cody p · 24 September 2009, 11:35 AM

in the last few months: 1 omega seamaster, 1 vintage seadweller, 1 vintage datejust and a breitling of some sort. that's a lot for kamloops.

iwantagmt · 24 September 2009, 11:41 AM

Gold Subs, lots of Breitlings, Vintage Connies, one Rose Gold Hublot (was not able to confirm) and 3 Seamasters.

brrrdn · 25 September 2009, 12:14 AM

saw plenty of DJs and Subs, a few cartiers, an omega seamaster and a couple of breitling emergencies around town recently.

Best watch I've seen in the wild by someone not known to me (IE- not a family member) would be a TT Date Just. I'm sure I've passed by many others, but unless the watch sticks out, I rarely notice what the guy next to me is wearing. Today however I spotted this HUGE (had to be 50MM+ in size) TT chrono watch. Upon closer inspection, it was in Invicta of some sort.

Those damn Invictas get me from afar as well

A Calatrava, some Rolexes, lots of Omegas and Breitlings in the last month or two.

I saw an Omega DeVille the other day, but so far the wide world of watches here is very, very dull.
