    AP ROO special edition, not sure which one, but it was black. Got to try it on, since I knew the guy. Not my cuppa, but a solidly built bad ass watch. Actual value probably around $25k.

    In a watch store, I got to try on an MB&F HM No.3, but only got a "display" shot. A crazy looking watch, but incredibly beautiful and surprisingly elegant. Value ~$90k before taxes, eek.

    I have found a source for ETA-28XX compatible destro dials (9 o'clock crown, 3 o'clock window). If you're curious of the source feel free to send me a PM.

    Hublot on the morning train into Sydney CBD , don't know what model though. Noticed it cause of the unique screws and bezel.

    The consultant i saw prior to a recent operation had a really impressive looking watch on, try as i might i couldn't see the make, anyway when i saw him again about 2 weeks later and literally about an hour or so before my op we were talking and he asked if i had "any more questions" (meaning about the op) and i asked him what his watch was, you could see he was absolutely delighted someone had noticed it and took it off to show me, it was a "humble" edifice, but it sat lovely on his wrist and looked the biz!

    one of my wife's students invited us to a dinner they were having he had a platinum FP Journe annual calendar. That was the nicest watch I've seen in person outside a store.

    I saw a guy wearing an IWC Big Pilot. He was sitting on a bench on his own just chilling when I walked past. I went back to talk to him about it but he was gone. I should have straight up commented on it like I usually do.

    Guy next to us at some restaurant a year or so ago was wearing a pp5270. Yes I did compliment him on his tastes, and yes I will have to have one of those some day. And I love broccoli cheddar soup at panaras

    See a lot of PAMs, Omegas, and Rolex. One time saw a lady on a plane wearing an IWC 7-day power reverse Portuguese. A guy next to me at a bar in Boston was wearing what looked like an ALS, but I think it may have been a fake.

    I saw a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar 5104G in white gold on while flying in the first class cabin on a domestic flight.
