Well, I'll keep this short.
Wife and I were shopping nice electronics at a local store, when during a discussion the salesperson accosted my wrist.
He said "Is that a Panerai? I've been looking for this model for a long time, but the timing and locations were never right."
This guy seriously held my (sizeable) wrist in both his hands and stared for 15 full seconds, with his nose around 10 inches away. It was a bit uncomfortable, but I allowed this. It turns out that this older gentleman is a watchmaker, with recently expired Rolex certs, who collects and works on everything under the sun. Being a gregarious sort, the electronics job is just to keep him from getting cabin fever at home. He still keeps his own Rollies in shape by making his own parts, as he cannot purchase directly any longer.
For the rest of my visit with him, I noticed that he could not restrain himself from incessant, admiring glances to my left wrist.
He was wearing a nice Ti Breitling Avenger gen.
Winner = Belial2K Fiddy.
I should add that I did not precipitate this encounter; he noticed my watch and had my wrist in his hands quick as a flash.
Those old guys can be quick - lol.
