You don't even remember when you started looking, but the next thing you know you realize that you have been staring at your wrist. With my new Sub, it has been happening quite a bit. My wife thinks I am crazy.

Welcome to the madness, it takes some getting use to!

limenko · 13 December 2009, 08:13 PM

Welcome to the world of WIS.
The worst thing is i go around trowing glances at strangers wrists everywhere just to see if i can pick what they are wearing, very strange indeed.

dukester · 13 December 2009, 08:22 PM

Welcome to the fanaticism......its contagious!

TSW · 13 December 2009, 08:48 PM

Welcome to TRF!! I would say its a normal behavior in this crowd!!

Milan - oh I do the same thing! Not strange at all.

Macro80 · 13 December 2009, 09:21 PM

Haha, my Mrs caught me taking an elongated stare at my Sub just yesterday, she doesnt get it and thinks im nuts.

Speaking of looking at peoples wrists I was watching Ray Mears do a survival show with Ewan McGregor, Ewan was wearing a huge Panerai.

Gerardus · 13 December 2009, 09:29 PM

Very normal for people like us, but for others????

Sub'erman · 13 December 2009, 09:46 PM

Just remember to look at your wife with the same fascination every once in a while!!!

Your wife is right, you [we] are nuts but that behavior is actually quite normal.

Can't say I blame you, Jeff.

I've had that happen with some of my new Rolexes at traffic lights when the light is RED.

As soon as it turns GREEN, I find myself still staring at my watch, until the guy behind me HONKS!!!

On some occasions, I've had Zemina screaming: "JJ, stop staring at that stupid watch and move your bloody ass - the light's turned green!!"

I often find myself seeking for all kind of lighting conditions, so I can Ogle at the sparkles of the diamonds and the reflections of the gold areas....

When wearing a Rolex, not staring frequently at your wrist is abnormal. So relax! You, I and all others wearing a Rolex are normal. Enjoy!

USCpaneristi · 14 December 2009, 04:28 AM

Comes with the territory. I've actually had to explain to people that if I get caught staring at my watch it's not cuz I'm bored with what's going on. I really am must staring at my watch cuz it's so awesome to look at :-P

GoldenBear · 14 December 2009, 04:40 AM

My wife (then girlfriend) used to get upset that I kept looking at my watch...she would say "You got a date or something?" After I bought her one, she started doing the same thing. Now she is (almost) worse than I am.
