Rolex (Milgauss) spotting “in the wild”

Wife and I went to see Santana in beautiful Mansfield, Ma. tonight. Wore the z blue Milgauss. On the way out, spotted another fella wearing one, too. Walked up and said “I see you went with the Milgauss tonight.” He was pleased (and not mortified) to meet another enthusiast. I mentioned the forum to him; said he’d check it out.

Have only seen one other Milgauss in the wild—on the wrist of one of my freshman students (college) who was planning on studying engineering (great choice).

So, to revisit a similar post from the last 2 weeks—it is safe!! to say hello in person to other Rolex-wearers.

I know—pics or it didn’t happen...but I didn’t want to be a total creep.

Hope you’re all well out there in Rolexland.

I rarely see another Rolex...

...could be the circles I run in though. Most people I work with wouldn't spend this money on a watch but, think nothing of thousands on boats, trucks, etc.

I have seen one GV black dial when I went to lunch couple weeks ago. Didn’t talk to the guy, but the green crystal is very eye catching

I haven’t seen a Milgauss in the wild yet, but when I had an initial visit with a new doctor, he called out mine. In the middle of his consultation he said “Hey, is that a Milgauss?” He was wearing a SubC and we talked Rolex for 15 minutes. On my following visit, he wore his brand new BLRO on Jubilee, took it off his wrist and said “Check this out!”

I had a similar experience while in Disney World, I saw a guy wearing a DSSD, I had mine too and had to say hi to him, he wasn't creeped out at all.
