That exact thing happened to me ....
I was paying the attendant at a parking lot in a university town: he looked smart but scruffy and was definitely not WIS. As he gave me change, he said: "Hey, nice watch!." No other stranger has ever said that to me in 13+ years of watch collecting. The watch was ... also a RG CS!
Something happened today
that is so rare I cannot remember it ever happening before. I was making a bank deposit at a drive/through window and the teller, who was unlikely even 25, noticed my CS and commented that it was a gorgeous watch. He did not identify himself as a WIS. He ...
Did he know the brand? Or did he just like how it looked?
Just curious if it has become a brand people recognize. I once had a student at the university where I did some part time teaching, who recognized my CS. But he was definitely a WIS. The other day you bought a CS, and now you bought an electric guitar!? Y...
He didn’t identify the brand.
The guitar is not new. And the CS is 2 months old. It’s an old-timer. (😂)
“Old timer” LOL
I guess he just saw what we see as well. As super beautiful time piece without a recognizable brand. Mine have gotten several complements from people who didn’t have a clue what it was.
It IS a gorgeous watch! What a nice feeling.
I think the beauty and quality of your CS is easily identifiable even by a non-WIS. Plus the uniqueness of the dial. Great watch!
So it seems.
And it was a nice feeling, even though I truly prefer (I thought) that people don't notice what I wear.

How large was the deposit and do you think that influenced his comment.
If you were just depositing your jar of copper coins then most likely not! It’s a rare occurrence really. I think the most noticed watch I ever owned was my PAM 190 (Radiomir, 45mm, gold hands). I must have had 5 or 6 no WIS strangers comment on that watc...
Small potatoes.
And he saw the watch before he saw the check. Tell FP when you see him tonight!
Yes, its a rare interesting moment when someone who doesn't seem to be a serious watch person compliments a nice watch.
I remember taking my bird to the vet and as the receptionist was placing us in an exam room she suddenly blurted out OMG THAT Is a Beautiful Watch! It was a UN annual cal chronograph, white dial on bracelet. BTW, that IS a gorgeous FP Journe!
Hmm 🧐
Maybe I can blame my CTS on your name. TheMadDruid vs. WatchProSite and InDebtButOnTime; John and Jane Does; their Successors and Assigns. I think I just aggravated the condition.
