·I generally see something interesting about every day. I work at a Mercedes Benz dealership. They generally notice whatever I’m wearing that day first.

·I talked to a guy in his forties with a really old basic digital Casio. He said he had bought it as a student and never had replaced it as it worked fine. As retired, I don't move in circles where expensive watches would be worn. 'Young people' use phones.

·My Speedmaster has only been recognized in the wild once or twice over many years... and the fact that it is vintage, never recognized.
It's interesting how we parse out details of these watches, but how many people in the world would recognize the short and fat pushers of a 105.012 or the facets of a CB case?

·'Young people' use phones.
Mechanical watches haven't been relevant for function since the quartz crisis, and quartz watches haven't been relevant for function since the widespread adoption of the mobile phone. I'm in my early 30's now so I guess I don't qualify as young any more, but when I got into watches in my late teens, smart phones were already ubiquitous. The iPhone had been out for years. It's not just about telling time, or the watch industry would have died out by the 00's.

Only other watch enthusiasts. I've had more people comment on my Casio F-91W than my Omegas. Impressing other people is very far down the list of reasons I love watches.

That depends. Young professionals with high incomes haven’t rejected luxury watches in favor of iPhones and Apple Watches. I frequently see young lawyers in court and in meetings wearing luxury Swiss watches. They remain a status symbol for those who can afford them

·Ran into a guy at a Portland restaurant who complimented my Summer Blue. When I asked him what he was wearing it turned out to be a 1983 tudor sub with a beautifully patina'd dial.
Definitely the coolest "in-the-wild" interaction I've had with a total stranger.
