Only one that got a comment was a cheap quartz tag monaco.
Most of the people don't care about watches at all, and I'm fine with this 'cause I can change my watch every time I want without having anything to explain ;)

Sometimes I love explaining watches and other times the person is such an idiot I cant get passed the name of the watch with them:raji:

Some folks would comment about this one for some reason:

The reality is, few people even look at our watches, much less comment about them. Such is the life of a watch enthusiast.

This watch would be awesome if his actual arms moved around the dial...kinda like the Mickey Mouse watches! :)

I guess I wear 5 watches, with 2 Pam reps...but the one that gets comments is this one. It's also my reference watch, cuz it always knows what time it is!

I use a solar powered radio controlled G-shock as my reference watch.
I always liked the look of the blue angels watch - except that being a Brit I would want the Red Arrows version

Sub C. Got to compliments/questions on it when I was shopping in stores (by SA's) in one week.

I liked the Red Arrows version also, and all of the Skyhawk models...the Skyhawks are excellent watches, probably the best of Citizen.

How could I have forgotten this one :facepalm: , speaking of Citizen, when I was wearing this one it was getting almost as many comments as my 111.

Very nice, SmokieBong...my old work watch is similar to that and also got a lot of comments. Some kind of prototype, I think...could never find it online or in a catalogue.

Since I got this a couple of weeks ago I've gotten a ton of complements. My boss said I don't care what you paid for that it just looks expensive.

It's a nice watch.
I have one that's similar but the blue stone in the end of the crown pin looks bloody awful: like a cheap glass crystal from a kids craft set!
It's something I must change

Mine is very misshapen I was thinking of sanding it down but I'm worried I will damage it and I'm also trying to see if I can swap a gen crown and jewel not to be mistaken for The Crown Jewels.

Think I found the watch that gets the most comments. I was with some friends at a party, most of the present people were watch illiterate, but few of them big watch enthusiasts so at the table there were some really nice watches among which two gens JLC and a gen Patek. They're not the kind of guys that flaunt their watches so other than us nobody else really knew what they were. All evening the only comment was from a girl asking if the 243 I was wearing is another watch. The other beauties at the table got no attention. Then this guy shows up wearing a black and white Diesel plate on his wrist, for the next hour every single person proceeded to compliment him on his plate like he achieved some medical breakthrough in cancer research. So there you go, Diesel>Patek
