Agreed...
I do agree with you; I hate to say it (especially as a Rolex owner).
I've been known to comment to some of my friends that "gold-digging" women actually are incredibly ignorant. If you set out to gold dig you wouldn't go for the guy necessarily with the Rolex you'd be able to spot a limited edition AP a mile off, but then you could sport a Newman and no one would notice either!
So what's my point? Well three points really:
1. Someone wearing a gold Rolex presidential for status or "bling" is almost definitely going to be, and I'm going to stereotype hard at the risk of potentially offending, obnoxious if you start asking about their watch or commenting how good it looks. There are always exceptions to the rule, but you don't "rock" a Jacobs and Co if you don't want your garish watch to be noticed.
2. The more rare/specialised unique the brand the more likely you will see receive a positive reaction from the individual. As by identifying the rarity you are displaying knowledge.
3. Maybe women have to approach this whole scenario completely differently to men so as not to risk being seen to be looking for a sugar-daddy/future wealthy partner etc.
I attach an old photo I took with a friend's Jacobs and Co (the ring was also theirs). Not to my taste!

Dear all, I am a relatively new poster to this forum although a long-time lurker. I would like to thank all the contributors here who have vastly expanded my knowledge and appreciation of fine watches. On to my question: I live in New York and at least a ...

At the age of 18 I started to get into watches and habitually wrist check people ever since. I get the obvious comments from people of a similar age (earlier twenties) saying 'nice watch' 'is that a rolex?' Etc. And to be honest it does het a bit tiresome...
thanks for the reply

Thanks for your thoughts. I think you make a lot of really good points. I think you hit the nail on the head by explaining that there's a difference between someone who admires your watch because it's a symbol of wealth versus someone who admires it out o...

You did well?!

Now, that is optimism, Nicolas! If I remember correctly, France ended up LAST of its qualifying group even after Romania... ...and Spain went on to win the Cup... Watches, I am sure, were secondary on those dates. I can imagine you veeeery sad... :)
Depends on the watch.

Sometimes i really cannot help but be amazed by a person's watch, and i will give a short compliment. But that really depends on what watch it is. I never comment on Rolex's because i find that there's probably a large majority of the owners who buy Rolex...
