Anyone keen on watches?

Not even when you are out?

No.

All the better for me that it is not a 'blingy' Rolex. But is genuine enough for Rolex to charge me a fortune every time I have it serviced.

Not sure what constitutes a blingy Rolex?

You said the secret was not to flaunt it but then if no one knows you're wearing a Rolex you don't need to worry.

If the servicing costs concern you just get a Casio, more accurate than a Rolex and just 50p for a battery every 3 or 4 years.

To answer your asinine question: I wear it American style, with the body of the watch on the inside of the wrist.

I never saw that until I went to secondary school and noticed a couple of the younger teachers wore their watches the wrong way.

Didn't realise it was an American thing?

Anyone with eyes in their head, and knows what to look for, can spot a Rolex. It's a game I play when travelling on the London Underground: spotting genuine watches from Chinese copies.

I have no concern with servicing costs - I only have it done every five years or so.

Not true these days.

Even an expert would need to use a loupe to confirm authenticity.

Anyway to reiterate my original point I wouldn’t wear or indeed ‘flaunt’ either of my definitely non-blingy Rolexes in a potentially threatening environment but you do you.

A Submariner isn't a blingy watch - IMO.

Can you not read? - I said I didn’t "flaunt" my watch when travelling, by wearing it the way described.
