Looking at your photos it seems like this guy got a similar casual cloth style as you. Who would think he is walking around with a real Rolex Day-Date?



I think Eminem can wear any watch he wants at any time LOL

I suspect taking wrist shots while sitting around being all shabby and such may draw at least some attention to ones watch.

Did you want, or are you expecting someone to notice the dichotomy between your $40k watch and your self described “Shabby” clothes?

You should consider what you refer to as shabby. For some of us, that’s our daily attire.

Does not mean it isn't "shabby" nor that anything is wrong with it wearing these outfits

My usual attire is some cheap but comfortable t-shirt, sweatpants or maybe jeans, and sneakers while wearing a Patel perpetual. Never once had a comment or so much as a glance unless I go to some AD

Who cares………………….. no one gives a flying shit about what you wear on your wrist….. The only thing interessing is that you know what it is, how much it has costed you and how hard you worked or saved to aquire one.. I like ur style . In my case anyone would think i wear a replica if they are looking to the rest of my clothing LOL.. Cheap shirt, cheap jeans and Adidas sneakers of 45 bucks .

Yes, it's a thing. Sketchers & New Balance taken to the extreme!

Kanye making "dad shoes" a thing in 2018 may be his greatest "feet" yet.

Nice watch but...since few had ever seen a Daytona, most people out there don't even know you're wearing a Rolex. I got many "Nice Rolex!" complements when wearing my $300 Seiko Turtle PADI with jubilee bracelet LOL

Sounds like you want to be noticed. Make sure to wear your "Rolex" cap next time you're out!

The thing is nowadays... go look at a Michael Kors watch in their "gold"... all these blingy watches that are cheap.

So a casual glance at a gold watch, is nothing new or special... it's just another cheap fashion watch... oh wait thats a Rol...

That's how it goes these days!

Me thinks some feel superior because they have an expensive watch. I don't understand the attitude.

I'm not knocking them. It just seems that the heel of the shoe is so far back from the heel of the foot.

Black looks a lot better.

Wow, most vile shoes I've ever seen.
Further proof that money does not buy taste.

Your watch isn't worth $40k... $25k on the open market, if that.

Sweatpants are one of the more unusual things I've heard people brag about but to each his own.
