Well duh, it would drive any reasonable person nuts if they were watching TV and someone kept pausing the TV to look at a watch, If you literally do it all of the time when you see a watch then I think it can be considered some form of obsessive compulsive behaviour. Regardless of your interest in watches it doesn't sound like a particularly healthy habit.

Of corse I do this…and unapologetically I might add! But then again l, I am a card carrying member of the WIS Society! The way I look it, there are 2 different types of people on this forum…those whom freeze frame their TV screens to look closely and those whom whom

We have Verizon FIOs. Most cable remotes I believe are the same in that you can just hit pause. I do it all the time when watching sports to stuff my pie hole or go to bathroom.

Industry the HBO show went from fakes to real watches. This article is pretty good discussing the watches.

I found it interesting that Rolex requires the show creators to remove the watch when a character is doing illegal drugs or anything unscrupulous.

For a second I thought he was wearing a YM 16622, but it hadn't been released yet back in 1986. It was a Heuer. The YM pt dial came out in 1999.
