    This is what I do when I see a watch in a movie. I've got a collection of these images now, and my wife (bless her heart) tolerates me stopping the movie immediately and capturing the best frame for a photo.

    Nutty, right?

    No, you're completely sane!
    I think that this could be a great thread though.....keep posting those screen shots and movie stills!

    So tell me how you stop strangers and ask about their watches, being a Londoner I struggle to know how... it's a fine line

    Being an uncouth redneck, it's real easy for me...you just compliment them on their watch and strike up a conversation.

    Its very easy for me as I sell watches for a living haha but I always just compliment them on whatever piece they are wearing then it turns into a long conversation on how they got it and the history of it

    I don't know if it's sane or not, but most certainly better than being an axe murderer.

    I paused and took a pic of myself while wearing my Speedy Pro while being interviewed on TV, does that count?

    I love that you do that. I mean yeah you're nutty but we all are.
    When we watch TV my gf asks me now "what watch is that?" 'cos she knows I'm thinking it.
    I also like spotting the continuity errors. Loads of those in House Of Cards and I think I spotted one in Mad Men the other day.

    As a Brit I struggle too but whenever I ask I'm always glad I did.
    Said "nice watch" to old man working in M&S. it was his first day on the till. It was a GMT 1675 and he said it had only been off his wrist once since he bought it new in the early 70s. For one service.
    One watch man.
    Anyway, nice one OP for sharing. [emoji106]

    I never got beyond this scene in the movie The Zodiac. Got straight onto feeBay and bought me one - crazy? Maybe, maybe not...

    What did @Deafboy say above "...but most certainly better than being an ax murderer." but not for everyone it seems...
