No, we re talking about the people you see wearing nice watches in restaurants or the airport lounge. Do you approach them to compliment them on their watches? Or is this something you consider not done in this day and age? We talk about our experiences talking to random strangers about their watches, which happens occasionally (except for Nacho). Are there certain dos and don ts? Let us know in the comments how you feel about approaching strangers about their watches and whether you ve been approached about yours.
