“Nice watch, is it a citizen”?

Jul 26, 2021,01:29 AM
 

I picked up some delicious pizza from a ‘mom and pops’ pizza shop in the valley (southern California). The guy at the register complimented me on my Batman on

Nato, saying “nice watch, is it a Citizen”? 

I thanked him for the compliment, and said “not quite, it’s just a Rolex, but maybe one day I can get a citizen”

He wished me luck on my collecting journey 

That made my day

If the person appreciates it for the design (more than the brand recognition) then that is fine

So, are you going to tell us how the pizza was or are we talking Citizen only? 😂

Lasagne Pizza? LOL! Now that's the first I've heard of it...

Mouthwatering post. The pizza is great but your watch is tastier.

I bought it at a time when most ADs had all the stainless steel sports Rolexes on their window displays.

Good job. I had the opportunity to pick up a Batman at MSRP 3 years ago but passed on it.

The appeal of different brands/models ebbs and flows.

I’d gotten this watch as consolation for not being able to afford a Blancpain FF or Panerai 233
