Is it just me, but is the first thing you notice about someone is what kind of watch is on their wrist? |

I don't think it's just you. I do it all the time, and to take it one step further I notice it when other people are doing it as well. |

It drives my wife crazy when I use our 'TiVo' to rewind whatever we are watching so I can try to identify what watch the person on TV is wearing. You’re not alone.

Me too. There's a guy I've had to meet with for work a few times recently and I've noticed he checks out my wrist each time. I do the rewinding thing too. I was watching a movie last night and there was a guy wearing a Navitimer. |

 All of the above. Our sales meetings at work remind me of the meeting in American Psycho where they sit around and check out each other's business cards. And isn't DVR great?

| I do it all the time. It's kinda funny seeing some of the things people wear.

you can tell a lot about someone by their watch & their shoes... I look all the time too. Anytime I walk into any jewelers, the first thing they look at is my watch. Before my airwolf I wore this tiny seiko(still going strong). Its scratched up & dented. I felt so embarrassed the first time I removed it & put on a ling in an AD. |

All the above posts plus for bonus points I point them out to wifey who (yes, just like your wife) mutters something like "Can you ever just give it a rest?  ..." or something to that effect...  
Cheers, Ron |

..." or something to that effect... Cheers, Ron I know that feeling! Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it!) my girlfriend has something of a shoe fetish, so whatever she says to me about watches, I can pay back to her about shoes. Oh it's a happy relationship!

I am always looking at other people's watches but I try and make it a little subtle - unlike the guy I was sitting next to in a meeting the other day who twisted his head through 90 degrees while staring at my watch. I asked him if he was OK and he said he was trying to check the time but couldn't figure it out - I was wearing my Cosmo! |

It practially backfired on me. Her initial reaction was "Why don't you just buy a Rolex? No one knows what a Breitling is" And I pointed out I liked the more exclusive nature of the Breitling, and the fact that not everyone knows it. So she goes "Oh, knida like those super expensive purses I like that you have never heard the brand of?" 
OOps. |

The watch glancing routine from wearers of nice pieces is like dogs sniffing each others' rear ends.
I glance at wrist first, true. I think it makes sense to do so, because often times even in my dumpiest attire I have a nice watch on. Can't glance at my shoes when I have flip flops on.

Yes, yes. Watch first, face second -- always!  Sometimes, if the guy
is wearing a nice piece, I never make it to the face -- eyes glued to the watch. I'd make a terrible witness to a crime. I can just imagine a detective asking me, "could you describe the assailant, Sir?" "Uh, I'm not sure." Well, what color hair did he have?" "Don't know." "Did you see his eyes?" "Sorry." "Was he black, white, Asian?" "I really couldn't say" " Well can you tell us anything at all about him?" "He was wearing a Breitling Superocean, Coral dial, with a black Ocean Racer strap. Will that help?"
