I work in the luxury car business and have the chance to see nice watches almost every day. A few months ago one of my client was wearing a rose gold Hublot Big Bang, then a few clients with IWC big pilot or Portuguese, tones of Rolex's... What I realize though, is that these people, for the majority of them, know nothing about watches. They bought a watch they liked and don't ask them about the movement or the history behind it... Like one of my good customers, he's a Rolex freak, he as a collection of about 15 of them and each time i see him and look at his watches I want to cry. This guy beats the hell out of them and handle them like if they were Timex's He was wearing a Daytona the other day and I couldn't believe how bad it looked. Scratched everywhere with dings... A real shame... I take better care of my $200 Seiko's than this guy with a watch that he told me worth over $20000!!! Or I have an other one that wears his quartz NIXON and love it better than his U-Boat auto that's been sitting in his drawer for a almost a year!! Anyway, it's interesting to see that most people have no idea about what they are wearing, of course, you always have this engineer or professional that has some WISdom, like Nick would say  (i love it), but I found they were not too many.

I don’t see much out in the wild, which is odd considering I am in a blue shirt and khaki pant central city:) The lady that runs the coffee place I go to every morning is obsessed with my watches and looks forward to seeing what I ware every day.

Knowing a lot of docs out here I see plenty of Rolex, but the biggest surprise was when a friend who is an orthopd, came tooling up one day in an Orange DOXA sub! I have a friend who's a bulider who has all kinds of googies from Orsa, Gevril, every Rolex, Hublot, Blancpain, etc...shit, he even has an Invicta!
