Great photos as always.

In my experience comments on watches in general are a very rare occurrence. Even something as grand as a gold datejust may not draw much attention. I would guess far more people ask about the 2CV smile

Of course, itโ€™s also possible that nobody asked you if it was a Rolex because they already knew it was wink

Is that a Rolex?

The lab I work at hosted a luncheon for the summer students today. I was wearing my Seiko 7002 diver. One of my colleagues asked the question in the title of this thread. I own one other watch with a rotating bezel, a Seiko 7a38-6040, and I recall being a... 

I posted a couple of days ago about the Rolex being mistaken for a citizen.

Itโ€™s good to see the confusion going both ways.

I remember that thread!

Surprising if one assumes (as I do) that more people know about Rolex than Citizen.

Letโ€™s just say that she was much more self-focused than anything else. My first experience with a narcissist.๐Ÿ™„

Good one ;-))

Perhaps โ€˜Rolexโ€™ is now just a synonym for luxury watch.

Definitely! ;-))

I once had a colleague look at my Lange 1815...

and she said "oh nice dress watch". I said 'Thanks! It's a German watch" She frowned a little and said, gesturing to her ladies Yachmaster (the grey one), "Ah... Rolex and Swiss watches, the best!" I smiled...

Iโ€™ve always imagined what it would be like

To wear a Lange, and thatโ€™s one of the scenarios Iโ€™d love to be in. You just smile and play along, but only you know the truth of the matter... ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Funny, I wore this for a few days and nobody asked if it was a Rolex

Of course 2CV drivers don't normally sport gold watches, but since friends have been bringing me their gold stuff to fix I am beginning to like the look of it. but I am sure either people don't believe it's real, or they know it's an old man watch and pro...

The sales person was standing there, my arm was resting on a clothing rack, he kept staring at my watch (Rolex Submariner) after a few moments I saw him mouth the words "yeah, that real". My DateJust has been mistake for a Seiko, I never say anything, jus... 

The portion of the rolex fanbase

That appreciates the watches only as status symbols has done unfortunate damage to the general perception of the brand (and those who wear their watches). I agree that it is always best to either be friendly, or say nothing at all. It's not worth getting ...
