Am I the only one pausing live tv?

[marc2828]

Am I the only one pausing live tv to walk up to screen to look at someone's watch?

Actors in movies or when they are being interviewed? News/sportcasters, athletes? Literally anyone on tv?

And the disapointment when I see an Apple watch instead of a Rolex....might need therapy.

Drives wife nuts.

The only watch I am interested in is the one I have on my own wrist that's the only one that matters to me.

Yes I do this. Last time I did this was just recently while watching the Menendez brothers murders series on Netfilx. It's set in the late 80's/very early 90's and one of the bros. has a Submariner 16610 that he bought during a spending spree after killing his parents.

Of course I'm pausing the screen at every opertunity to see if I can tell if it's a counterfeit costume piece, I cannot confirm that, but I can confirm his watch has no lug holes therefore it cannot be a watch from that era!

The things we WIS's do!

pretty much all watches on tv shows are fakes with one notable exception being entourage because the creator/producer was a huge watch nerd

[Mystro]

I do it all the time especially in sporting/racing events where you see the top models on display on wrist. Some look better in real life and others not so much.

[alllexandru]

Yes guilty , each time asking myself how crazy is this?
Looks like something normal reading this thread here

No doubt, lighten up man

[BNA/LION]

I'm guilty of it. The worst thing is when you can't get a good enough look to be 100% sure what watch it is.

Ha! Just showed Denard Wilson standing on the Tennessee Titans sideline, wearing a Daytona I think

[jb335]

Hahaha, you are definitely not alone on this one, OP.

I'm also guilty of this.

My girlfriend even hands me the remote if she sees a nice looking watch in the frame.

[Easy E]

I may or may not have done this.

[Cassian739]

All the time! LOL

[1st amg]

Guilty.......very guilty.

[knighty88]

Definitely guilty of this myself. It’s the reason I can’t watch James Martin’s cookery programmes here in the UK… rampant jealousy of his extensive Rolex collection.

[Mr Ben]

Yup - I’ve done it. Really annoys me when it’s on my phone and I can’t zoom in enough.

Don’t worry - you are normal. Ish.

[omar-rye]

I’m pausing all the time. I paused Wolfs the other night to see what George Clooney had on his wrist. It was a modern Speedmaster Pro

I take a screenshot and zoom in

The disappointment of seeing an Apple watch instead of a Rolex is real! It's all part of the watch lover's journey. Your wife must have some stories to tell about your watch-spotting adventures! ��

I am guilty as charged Peter.

[R-Star]

Ryan Seacrest has been rotating through his Daytonas on Wheel of Fortune.

[prnceofpersia23]

Absolutely lol

[dba]

Do it all the time. Not just for looking at watches, but to blow through the commercials later.

[John Ryan]

No, hard part for me is getting the timing down since there is a delay and sometimes the watch is only visible for a quick glance

Absolutely!! It’s why I’ve always had fun checking out watches in the wild. Part of the hobby imo…

Ha, I did exactly this on this film for that watch. My wife was less than amused.

[OG1982]

Do you even like watches if you don't do this!
