Tah dah. Game over folks. Don't have to go home, but can't stay here.

Mine is a $50 Akribos automatic I sold a couple years ago to a friend. I have supervised visits. Other than that the Nomos Orion I just got a few weeks ago gets more comments than any Rolex I have or currently own. Seems subs and GMT and DJ are pretty common in my work environment where there are not a whole lot of horology buffs that appreciate a nice PP.

Sold it and lost my ass on it. Learned a good lesson... But my AD told me just a little too late, "only 2 things hold their value in jewelry business: rolex and diamonds!" I intend to buy only those two from now on.
Sorry man, but your ad lied to ya... Only rolex and pateks hold their value. He really told ya diamonds? Buy a diamond ring, then try to sell it sometime. Talk about loosing your ass...

Large GIA certified diamonds hold their value

When I do wear a Rolex.
Girls generally aren't paying attention to my watch.

Dudes However,
The ones without Rolex ask questions like;
"Thats a fancy watch, how much was that?"
"What watch is that?"
Every once in a while I get a "nice watch!"
The ones with Rolex usually never say anything.

I generally socialize in the 21-25 age group. 98% don't care about watches. Or just use it as a fashion accessory.

The most compliments I got for a watch was when I wore a Seiko Orange Monster to a house pool party

Hmmm... gotta break it down into two categories:

1. Non-watch/WIS types frequently comment on the Seiko BAR Honda chrono



2. WIS type folks...

Great pics guy

When I had it, my Blue 16613 would always draw a few comments.
My watches theses days seem to go unnoticed & lots to like about that

Definitely my new DJ2 with a WG bezel. In less than one month since I bought it, it has garnered more compliments than all my other watches put together!

And IMHO, from this picture, it is not difficult to see why.
