and two people commented on it within a day. I've never had anyone so much as recognize it. It is still my favorite watch. When I retire, I'm going to purchase the Calibre 321.

I wore my Seamaster pro for 13 years and got maybe 5 comments on it, all from watch people.

Pelagos for a year and only 2 people, both watch guys.


“Gold” invicta my kids got me for Father’s Day had a dozen compliments inside a week.

I get a lot of comments on my Rolexes, mainly all from other guys wearing them which I encounter a lot through work and social events.

Sweet watch.  

But…

Wrist shot while behind the wheel of or with the 69GTX as the background would be killer.

Same. Only compliments I ever get are my cheapest blue Seiko. That’s why I tell people that nobody cares what watch you have on. Unless they are watch people too. Like a small secret cult.

My work doesn’t have a lot of guys wearing higher end watches, which is fine, but interesting none the less

I get that.  If a dude wears one watch all the time, that’s his watch. If he has a rotating collection of any brand, I assume he’s a watch guy and am more likely to talk to him about it. I am also finding the older I get the less I give a shit about “the right watch” and am more along the lines of whatever makes you happy. For instance, I’m picking this up later this weekend because it’s so batshit weird:

Here’s some pressure.

I never had a GTX.  I did rescue a ‘74RR that was going to be parted out about 15 years ago.
It had the factory hand crank super rare option and needed to be saved.
Got it back together, running, driving, insured, driveway paint job, etc.
Trimmed the collection by a couple last summer and it’s gone now.
