rolexgiants · 29 October 2010, 11:47 PM

sorry.... i need this moved to the rolex discussion section....

BigMac53 · 30 October 2010, 12:46 AM

I take Metro-North everyday, and I've seen my fair share of Subs, Daytonas, and DJ's, with a few women wearing Air Kings here and there. For the most part though I'd say the SS DJ's are the most popular. As of late, I have seen a few Panerai's although far fewer of those than Rolex.

Dan Pierce · 30 October 2010, 12:55 AM

Working in airports I see lots of everything. Not sure there's any one reference of Rolex, or any other brand, that I've seen more than another.

just talking about rolex... in manhattan i have never seen someone wearing a deepsea or a milgauss

Numismatist · 30 October 2010, 01:02 AM

Strangely, the place I see them the most, is when I vacation in Disney World, Orlando. Seriously, I see SO many there. It could just be that there are SO many people there, but I see all kinds there in the parks.

Puffy · 30 October 2010, 01:03 AM

in London i see loads of different goods. mostly GMTs actually - which can be expected becaue Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich here in London

t e x · 30 October 2010, 01:34 AM

i work in seattle and see a small variety of rolexes in the office where i work, working out in the field or out and about i mostly see dd's, dj, subs, and gmt's. i also see an occassional pam....

Funny thing is every time I see someone I have a suspicion that it could be a fake.

Miami is a City with lots of pretenders and fakers.

GradyPhilpott · 30 October 2010, 04:34 AM

I was having coffee with some friends today at a restaurant where they meet every morning. Among us there were two Rolex and while we were talking, a guy came by wearing what looked like a Daytona.

On his way back to the register, I asked him if that was a Daytona and he stopped to chat and told me all about it.

He said he comes to this site sometimes. I think it's cool when a couple of WISes can stop and talk watches, even if for only a brief moment.

pz93c · 30 October 2010, 05:19 AM

Rabbits, mostly. The occasional 'Possum.

snowbird · 30 October 2010, 11:34 AM

Steel Sub is the most common I see by far, less often a TT Sub or TT DJ or steel GMT, once in a while something else, e.g. last week I saw a white dial Exp II, a couple of weeks ago saw a black dial Daytona.

East Bay Rider · 30 October 2010, 12:27 PM

I see a TT GMT (16713) occasionally but that's the only one.

HL65 · 30 October 2010, 01:06 PM

When I go to manager meetings--usually see SS Subs, a DD here and there, and DJ's. That about covers it.......Although one guy had the new Sub C on last meeting we had.

colpol · 30 October 2010, 05:08 PM

Few & far between in this neck of the woods

Theres one of the guys in the telecoms team for the bank I'm contracting with wearing a Sub date & he's the only one at bank I've spotted

Most times I spot rolex are on holiday. Having said that Scotland is not exactly renowed for its warm weather so perhaps jumpers & jackets put me at a "spotting" disadvantage !!!

rpryan55 · 30 October 2010, 05:23 PM

I deal with lawyers a great deal - I see DJs on the older guys, TT GMTs and Subs on the middle-aged guys, and SS Subs and GMTs on a few.

When I'm happy (not around lawyers) I see a lot of APs, actually.

mtrunner · 30 October 2010, 09:11 PM

I am in NYC as well and I see a ton of the following: Sub, GMTIIc, Various Datejusts, Daytona, Day Date and occasionally Explorer II. I also see a lot of guys wearing Panerai. I have seen a several Panerai watches in the past year. I saw my first Patek on a guy sitting next to me at a bar last week.

Frankie13 · 30 October 2010, 09:49 PM

Went with my wife to her Doctor app. yesterday and he was wearing a Sub and think he noticed my GMT too!

nauticajoe · 30 October 2010, 09:51 PM

Mainly Sub's and DJ's for me.

Kiddodoc · 30 October 2010, 10:21 PM

Subs, DJ, DD's are the most common I see. Very rare to see a Daytona here in San Antonio, Tx. Occasional TT subs. I have only seen one LV here in SA.

nyyankees · 30 October 2010, 11:30 PM

Subs in Philly. Now that my friends are asking me to source Rolexs for them I see more around the office than I have in the past.

AA717driver · 31 October 2010, 12:29 AM

In the aviation biz, I used to see TT GMT's, SS GMT's and Subs all the time.

With all the cuts (post 9/11), I see a few SS GMT's and SS Subs. A few Breitlings and tons of plastic watches are the majority...

As I was walking to the store in Miami the other day (wearing shorts, t-shirt, ball cap and Sub), I passed another guy about my age wearing the same get up. Just another pilot on a layover.

And where do DavidSW live again???

TSW · 31 October 2010, 10:45 PM

I see pretty much every brand at the Restaurant i work in Rolex,Patek,AP and even some Richard Mille pretty distracting to say the least

xjeeunitx · 31 October 2010, 11:59 PM

I mostly see Casio and Timex watches. Every so often, I'd catch an officer wearing a Submariner, GMT, or a Seamaster.

So funny and true. When I go to Disneyland, every line I stand in has about 5 sub dates, it's ridiculous. It really makes you realise how common these watches are.

GEO_79 · 1 November 2010, 01:19 AM

I mostly see rolex datejust;here in Scotland

sea-dweller · 1 November 2010, 01:27 AM

Here in Nor Cal -

SS Sub
DJ
GMT
Occasionally a DD or Daytona

hh605 · 1 November 2010, 01:40 AM

I live in nyc. Nowadays, I am spotting more panerais than rolexes. I had to drop by prada on 5th ave yesterday and spotted a gentleman with ROO and an asian lady with a Pam.

Swearengen · 1 November 2010, 01:57 AM

Generally I see GMTII, DJ, Subs, and the odd sea dweller. There is a guy who works in a cafe I visit at the weekends who has a GV and we have chatted watches, another customer has a coke GMTII and we have exchanged nods.

Different story while I was on vacation in Spain (Marbella/P Banus). A few gold Subs, TT Daytonas, TT Subs, gold DDs. Seems bling was in.
