Who’s in to watches⏱️

I am pretty sure that most enthusiasts we sometimes check what a woman or man is wearing no matter what occasions. Subway, Restaurant or just enjoying a NEGRONI in a bar. I am guilty 100%. And to me every time I saw a Nomos on someone’s wrist. It’s a pretty good indication that an individual next to me wearing a Nomos is in to watches or a watch enthusiast that owns a heavy hitter sitting at home. What about you?

I agree @IceCreamMan unfortunately😉

Thank you @PlayboyHeafner that’s the beauty of our hobby that it doesn’t matter the cost or movement. We just love watches👍

I do the same watching TV. I'll rewind and pause on a wrist and my wife will chuckle. 😂

She understands.

Thank you @Pallet_Fork My wife asked me the same question when I fixated on someone wrist😊

I look, sometimes not too subtly. Okay, fine, not too subtle all the time.

Nope.

·

Its so disappointing to see that.

·

I was just wearing my Negroni!

100% I look at every wrist I see in public. 95% of the time it's an apple watch.😮‍💨

·

My Nomos are my heavy hitters 🤣

And generally speaking, when I’m looking at a woman it isn’t to check out their watch 🤪

Today I was wearing kind of a crazy watch on an orange nato and a customer commented with interest. Told him about it and asked what he was wearing (a nice panerai) and his friend was wearing some crazy Ulysse Nardin diver that he said he might take knee deep in the water lol.

I almost always ask, if we’re not too busy and they’re almost always happy to be complimented or talk about their watch…even some of us basic sub bros 😆. AP to Zelos.

That’s fantastic story @CaptainRon

We are still talking watches, right?!

Yes, I’m always looking at someone’s wrist. 99% of the time I see very uninteresting watches (to me). Most of them Apple or Casios.

For interesting watches (to me) I’ll see Rolexes and Tudors the most and even then not very often. I’ve seen two Panerai’s ever, a few Cartier’s, one Patek. Never seen a Grand Seiko, Vacheron, Audemars Piguet, ALS on a wrist.

Never seen a Nomos, and if I ever see it on a wrist, I’ll assume the same thing, that person is into watches.

The more interesting thing I found about your pic, why do you have so many Blanton’s? Is that Wellers and an Eagle Rare behind them? Do you have Michters 10. I assume yes. Very tasty.

As for the Buffalo Trace brands, no doubt they’re good but personally Larcency Full Proof is the best out there right now.

Watches? Oh right! Yeah. Yeah. I meant watches.

·

Happens to me all the time!

Usually when I'm in Starbucks. Spotted a couple Cartiers and Rolexes. They normally get a nod but that's about it.

Thank you. Where I’m from it’s hard to get to get a Blanton’s most of the time it’s for a draw. It’s hard to find Eagle Rare and the secondary is ridiculous borderline criminal. Love Eagle Rare and Weller if I can find some I’ll try and buy it all. But I am very conscientious as well. I always think of other Whisky consumers. Luckily I am also a Single Malt enthusiast. 🙏🏻

Weller's has been called "The Poor Man's Pappy Van Winkle" because it shares the same mash bill. Hell, I live here and can't get my hands on Weller.

I see your Blanton's and raise you one Stagg Jr.

Lol That's my wife she watches a ton of Korean drama's and if you know Korea shows they are plastered with product placements. She's always asking me "what watch is he wearing?" I'm like Hublot... I was surprised to see a Piaget and he bought an engagement ring there too. I was like I wonder how much Piaget paid to be in the show and I did not know they sell jewelry 😂.

·

I look all the time. The sad thing is that I’m pretty lousy to regognize watches from a distance.

🍻 to you my good sir lol, I do this and if you ask my lady... she'll say I do it way too much lol.

I don't watch tv much if ever, so, when she watches and forces me to sit beside her (don't tell her I said that, please)... I get bored but I look at the wrists A LOT! She likes crime drama series, the lawyers wear some good stuff and the cons wear even better stuff!

Luis Litt from "Suits" wears some beauts! (I like Suits)

When we're out in public though, I just look and nod 🤷🏾 they say thank you and look at my wrist too 😏 and nod back.

Yup! Love it! And I get a kick when someone notices mine while I'm noticing theirs and my Mrs rolls her eyes like "Oh God another one" but chuckles cause she gets it somewhat.

I complimented a guy this morning who had an Apple watch but he had a really nice interesting band on it :) he was happy I noticed his mod :) .

Hublot sponsored the world cup women’s Soccer , I just watched Australia’s Matilda’s beat the French team . Longest penalty shoot out I’ve ever seen ! France played brilliantly too , their attack and defence was exemplary…

·

That is true! I'm looking at the watch people are wearing all the time! 😝

·

I can’t help but look.. and if I know what it is I always complement them. Half the time they don’t know how nice of a watch they have and the other half the people not only know what they have they are very happy to talk about it. Shout out to Nomos

We can hate on Hublot but their marketing moves are very smart. They are very involved in sports that most people watch.

Agreed 👍

I definitely look and sometimes i see some really nice watches. But most of the time Apple watches or designer watches.
