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.

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.

I don't watch TV, but when I'm watching something on my computer, whether it's live or not, I do look very closely at what watches are being worn and if necessary, I pause the action to get a better look.

I only pause TV shows and movies when my wife asks me what watch someone is wearing. Then I sigh, locate the remote, hit pause, rewind, squint at the TV, etc, etc.

I noticed as well. It looks good on him. I also couldn’t help but notice Jason Kelce’s green dial Daytona (John Mayer) last week during a broadcast.

I think athletes are always first in line for the good stuff.
