Member X 91 Posted December 15, 2009 I thought I'd start this because I sometimes see nice watches on random strangers and always forget to mention them on here! In the past at a get together of people with cash to spend on the nice things in life (I was an intruder LOL), I've seen a TT Sub, a Sea Dweller, and an IWC 3717 (I think, not sure on model numbers). This weekend I saw some mid-thirties dude (looked like he had cash to splash) wearing a gold-faced TT Daytona! Checked it out as serruptitiously as I could with him standing behind me in the supermarket queue - seconds at 6? yep, it's a gen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted December 15, 2009 The cardiologist that re-booted my wifes heart a week or so ago had a gen rolex sub. Am I a bad husband for checking out the Doc's watch while my wife is in serious condition?..........I need help...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted December 15, 2009 The chairman of our board of Trustees was in my office a few minutes ago wearing a rather nice vintage Longines. The rep from the print company we use wears a Breit Bentley (he's a flashy git & a typically pushy salesman). I haven't seen him in about a month, but I've got a meeting with him tomorrow so I guess it counts. Oh, and the cameraman who came to film Jodie Kidd at our place a couple months back was wearing the worst quartz rep Daytona I've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massimo 53 Posted December 15, 2009 It's an inevitable part of the disease I reckon: A supplier I meet every now and then: Rolex Datejust. Another supplier I met last week: TAG Aquaracer. A guy who used to live across the road who I see now and then: what I think is a Sea Dweller, but I haven't managed to decide for sure yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graman 2 Posted December 15, 2009 A bloke I work with has a 1990's IWC Pilot chrono...nice watch. Another has a blinged up Tag aquaracer. Many from work head to Thailand on business trips or rhumpy pumpy tours. So...MANY quartz Gaytonas & subs and other horrible messes. No Pams though, or anything that would sell in a street market for more than $20 Oh yeah...had a supplier once who was wearing a gen radiomir...unfortunately he was a wanker.

ebzen02 341 Posted December 15, 2009 While waiting in line at a gate waiting for my flight there was this guy with a gen (looked gen compared to my rep) FYG Daydate with diamond markers. I see lots of Subs, occasionally daytonas, and your basic PAMs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted December 15, 2009 An OB/GYN at church has a TT Sub. Shines like crazy! He has a sleeping disorder, though, from all the middle-of-the-night deliveries. I've never seen him sit for more than 15 minutes w/o falling asleep. Then there was a guy who usually sits 2 pews in front of us. He usually wears a TT black dial Sub. Def. a fake: it does not shine like the OB's. Last Sunday he was wearing a DJ. I checked out the dial to see if it was a quartz, but it wasn't running at all. He fiddled with it, then later I looked again and it still wasn't running, and the crown wasn't screwed in. Another guy, a fat guy, wears a FG Cartier w/diamonds. It must be 33mm, though, and looks ridiculous on his thick wrist. The last church guy was wearing an Omega SMP Chrono, def. gen. He also wears an Explorer, but I haven't been able to see the dial yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
collector26 0 Posted December 15, 2009 Opened a new account for a young guy who owns an electronics company that does business in 5 states so I'm pretty sure it was a gen Daytona. He had the large second and subdials running Not that there's anything wrong with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
