Nanuq Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 The traveling Rolex show got to my local AD this last weekend, and I happened to be downtown. So I just HAD to wander in there... wow did they have some nice stuff! Some really gaudy stuff too... Guys in expensive suits were hanging around offering to show watches to people that showed interest, and I hung out at the GMT display a bit too long... the sales guys descended like locusts. One offered to show me the new GMT, and I offered up the opinion that all real Rolexes have acrylic crystals. He scoffed a bit, and remarked on how they get so scratched up. I said "yeah but a Rolex is meant to be USED, not stored in a safe." He agreed, eyeballed my bluejeans and polar fleece jacket, then saw a hint of Oyster showing at my sleeve. He asked to see my watch, and I felt a replay coming on... I happened to be wearing my newest, so I popped open the clasp and carefully handed it to him. While he wasn't stricken completely speechless like the last guy, I can guarantee he wasn't prepared for it. I said "See? scratches just make it look all that much nicer" and he smiled and agreed.

freddy333 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Kudos.....and the plastic hides the greasy fingerprints from those oily suits. I guess it is probably relevant to mention that I wore my DRSD to a local AD over the weekend and tried on some Pateks. When I removed the DRSD from my wrist, casually setting it on the counter, the sales woman just said, "Oh, nice." And then proceeded to show me an even nicer platinum 5127. Nice, but I left with my DRSD....and no fingerprints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanjulio Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I said "See? scratches just make it look all that much nicer" and he smiled and agreed. I agree and I am smiling as well. Good story for both trips to the AD. -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kollektor Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I love Nanuq's stories. Putting snobs in their place :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yachtmaster Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I love Nanuq's stories. Putting snobs in their place :-) I can see that being great, but with gens only and not reps. If he is doing that with Reps then thats just sad, trying to fool others when your the actual fool with a rep trying to be gen. I just don't think thats right fooling others with a rep thats all. But if its Gen, all power to yeah!!!! So these people that go to AD's that come back with a story all have Gen here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselpower Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 @ Yachtmaster - If his DRSD were a rep would it not be extra kudos to him for having the balls to wear a rep in an AD and have the so called experts fooled? After all if he never actually tells them it is rep then he's told no lies, they would have just shown their lack of knowledge by jumpiung to the wrong conclusion. @ Nanuq - great story, and I do know what your DRSD is, so your balls aren't that big!

freddy333 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Speaking of big balls...... let's see Dieselpower's response to THIS! Mine are so big and scary I have to store them in a vault. You'll notice they are solid titanium too. You must have to wear really baggy pants...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
