A lot of Rolexes on the table..

[anglykos]

Yesterday (in Athens) I was invited to a dinner by a well known newspaper, which was attended by professionals from all walks of life. I would stress all walks of life because it was not a gathering of the rich and famous - although with regard to the former there were some.

Well, you know how it is: you're seated next to some unknown individual and you just can't help but look at what they're sporting on their wrist. Usual movement... I was wearing my GMT. I look at the guy on my right and what do you know - a GMTII black bezel. Guy on his right is also wearing an identical GMTII. A glance around the table of eight and I am not joking - 4 GMT's in total (1xPepsi, 2xblack, 1xrootbeer), 2 Subs and one TT DJ. That's almost 88% market share...it certainly broke the ice between us and it became a little Rolex convention in itself...

I know for a fact that many Greeks are really fond of Rolex and I am sure that the few Greek speaking members here will testify to this. Based on my own findings here in Greece one in 10 white collar workers own one or have owned one in the past. I was just wondering, seeing as we have friends all around the globe, what's the Rolex official or unofficial 'market share' in your respective countries? Or at least in your working/social environment?

Have a great weekend all !

ps: at some point along came a PR executive from a well-know car company wearing a vintage gold Daytona. This finished me off....That's it...I'm ready to flip
