I was in a store looking for a mechanical watch for my wife.  I asked to see the Omega catalogue when the saleslady told me that Omega didn't make ladies mechanical watches.  Inside I was laughing very hard and thought to myself that this sales person was in the wrong business.  I've had a couple of comments on some of my watches. Typically my vintage Citizen with the 6000 mov't gets the most attention because of the dial.  Usually though no one says a thing.  I make a point of noticing others' watches to encourage them to take an interest in what they wear.  I was golfing last week and noticed someone wearing a Glycine. I walked up and asked to see it and told him what a nice watch it was. He didn't know anything about it only that it was a gift he received at a wedding.  Hopefully my enthusiasm will cause him to at least read up on the watch he wears.
