Whole Lot Of Nice Watches At The Game

[Antonio]

Was at the UCLA v WSU game over the weekend, sitting in the good seats (Season tickets). Next to me was a well-used gen DateJust, next to him was a nice SS Sub. The pearl on his shows it's a gen, my SD (rep) is beautiful except for the bezel pearl... In front of him was a nice Tag, down the row was a TT sub, and 12 rows down I saw a guy with a Pam. No idea what model or if it was gen or rep, but couldn't miss that crown guard! Lots of other watches I didn't recognize from the quick glances.

What do you think the chances are that gen wearers know what to look for (e.g. bezel pearl) to spot reps, or is it just us?

Very slim....Most people who own a genuine own one good watch. Something they reward themselves with after years of hard work. There are some hardcore WIS out there but the guy wearing a gen TT or SS sub is most likely not one of them. I have traded off my rep for a gen many times to compare and the gen owner had no idea until I told him.

I go to a LOT of hockey games here in S.Fla. I don;t think I have ever counted less than 5 subs at any given time, Everybody seems to have one down here...at least the types that go out and indulge in sporting events. Rarely do I see a rep either (although las game I was at the guy sitting next to me had a rep SS Sub).

Sporting events are great watch watching opportunities...especially hockey and basketball since the attendees are often businessmen having "business liesure" outings.
