 It is rare for me as well that anyone ever comments on any of my watches. I get a few comments about the Submariner which I rarely ever wear. I guess I have had the most comments about my Ocean7 LM-3. People see that blue dial and want to take a 2nd look at it. I have had a lot of comments.

We have two jewelry stores I look around in here. One I respect very much and the entire staff is very knowledgeable on the brands they sell and watches in general. The sales manager there respects most every brand and has a true love for watches. I go in there at times and have to hunt him down after he asks to see some of my watches and then goes in the back and cleans them up for me. Sometimes I think he sizes them to fit him and he tries them on to see if he likes it. I often see him wearing brands they do not sell in the store.

Now, a few stores down is another jeweler that has a large selection of high end watches. I absolutely hate the place as they are some of the most snooty, yuppified bunch I have ever seen. They know nothing about watches and will often pull out a sales flier and read directly off of it when you ask them a specific question about a watch. I definitely never meet their stereotypical profile when I walk in and rarely get waited on immediately.
