Got back from Vegas, the Rolex spotting here was insane
I used to go about every 1-2 years, but this was my first trip back in about 5 mostly due to the pandemic. I have never ever spotted this many Rolexes before, not even close. They were basically like Casios (esp something like a Sub, I lost count how many times I saw that, including on my own wrist haha).
Rolexes I saw in rough order of frequency: Submariner, Datejust in different configs, Skydweller in different configs, BLNR in both bracelet configs (don't think I saw a single Pepsi), Day-Dates, RG YM on OF, Explorer II (only saw one and it was a Polar), Daytona (also only saw one, 11 or 126500 white dial), Root Beer GMT (saw one). Some observations/surprises: (1) Rolex sightings to other luxury watch ratio was probably a good 100:1. I only positively identified 3 watches of a "higher tier" : a gold APRO chrono, a steel APRO, and an Aquanaut. Even more surprising was this ratio held up at the other end as well, maybe more so. The only luxury watch of a "lower or equal tier" I saw was Omega. I saw two "Bond" Seamasters. I was shocked that I didn't spot more Omegas, Cartiers, IWCs, etc. Didn't spot a single one of the latter two other than women's Cartier watches. Also did not see a single Speedy (always surprises me how I don't see these in the wild). (2) Not a surprise, the Submariner was definitely the most common Rolex I saw. By a huge factor. (3) I was surprised by how often I saw the Sky. (4) Did not see a single Explorer I or OP. (5) The dearth of nice "dress" watches. Very rarely saw anything on a leather strap. (6) And yea, can't emphasize this enough. If someone was wearing a nice watch, it's almost guaranteed to be a Rolex. By a huge factor. |
