I live and work in down town Toronto and my reply was going to be along the same lines..lol Seems like I see one in every group of people that walk by at the very least

In the wild I usually see several YM on the way to the office from the train station for sure and maybe another couple of Rollies at lunch. They are pretty much the standard high end accessory here in Midtown Manhattan. Today I went to 47th Street to get my bracelet tweaked a little and saw probably about 1,000 Rollies in the windows of the shops and on people that work there.

How many times did you get stopped by the guys in front of each shop asking 'how much you want for your watch?' Used to happen everytime I strolled by, but now that I'm there at least 3 out of 5 days a week during lunch, they stopped. That first store on the corner of 47 and 6, with the big flashing neon sign, that's where I saw the DD II's, sold the WG Sub but they got another in, the YG YM II is gone, and where I mistakenly thought I saw the DJ II on jubilee. It's also where I overpaid for my diamond bezel. But I would still do business with them again. They have a TT GMTII C with the green dial in the window, which even if they swapped out of a YG, it still looks REALLY nice

Dozens. I was at a lunch the other day and there were about 100 people. I saw easily 30+, including 7 at my table of ten.

Naturally once I sold mine I don't see them as often and when Rolex designed the Deep Sea they addressed everything that was "wrong" with the Submariner so I basically am back to square one but this time I am staying here.

That is one of the reasons I quit wearing my 16613 years ago. I am at Disney or Millenia also almost each weekend. It's just amazing how many blue subs I see, just don't care to wear one anymore. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of Cartiers. At my daughters open house this year I was wearing a SS Daytona, it was one of 3 in one of the classrooms. At the high school football games I see many Rolex watches, most of them gold.

Sometimes when I go out for lunch during school, I can spot numerous Rolex Presidents, Daytonas and Datejusts. The other day I saw a lady wearing a very nice white Daytona.

maybe 1 a week if I'm lucky.

[weizhen77]

Depending on the area and day.

Weekday on public transport: 0 ~ 2
Weekend in Chinatown: 40% ~ 50% of the old people

[Perdu]

I see a lot of Subs and Date-Just.

[brady]

In Baton Rouge during LSU game day, probably 100+ 16610s. Seems to be the watch of choice around here. I usually see at least 1 YG President a day that a friend owns and sometimes a 16613.

When I go visit my in-laws outside of Houston, I usually spot tons of TT DJ w/ Jub bracelets. I remember one trip to the grocery store, the first 12-15 people I saw were ALL wearing TT DJs on Jubs. I thought I was losing my mind!

[jbarese]

2-3 a week.
Depends on which vendors I'm meeting with. (I work for an IT company).
Some companies like Cisco & EMC seem like it is part of the dress code, others only VP on up sport them.
2 in my office of 100 besides mine but don't see them much at the "watercooler"

Nobody ever stops me, I try to conceal the watch and everything else I got on so I wouldn't get hounded by shady characters.

Working at and flying thru airports around the world I see them all the time. Many other brands too.

[Nods]

Living in and around Darwin Australia it would make my day to see any Rolex. The international departure lounge at the airport is the exception, Normally see at least 1 as I walk though there.
