Anyone else get overjoyed when you see a favourite watch on a stranger?

Oh yes, I embarrass myself like this regularly. I've learned that complimenting someones blue dial fluted bezel Datejust rarely goes well.

You know, I have just about the same reaction whenever I see an Ebel Classic Wave on someone's wrist.

Part of the fun is talking your way out of trouble!

Yep, had one very fun interaction when I saw an MB&F on the tube! Guy was psyched and happy to show it off. He was actually a friend of Max Bรผsser as it turned out ๐Ÿ˜‚

Pro tip: donโ€™t do the same thing on the tube with Rolexes. Theyโ€™ll think youโ€™re about to mug them for it!

This is exactly the response I get from strangers. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I asked my new doctor if he was wearing a Citizen Promaster (which I know darn well it was, but I was just feeling him out to see if he was a watch guy), and he gave that same answer, verbatim. Just last week, I asked a pilot who was jumpseating on our flight about his Seiko turtle, and he answered "Huh? Oh, yeah. Well, it's a PADI." I was not wrong, it was still a turtle. ๐Ÿ˜‘ I should just keep my mouth shut.

Well too familiar ๐Ÿ˜
