tomr Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks for for those who sent a "welcome note" from my earlier post. I purchased a DJ from Joshua last weekend and received it yesterday. I woke up this morning excited about my new purchase and looking forward to having it fitted at the local mall. There is a small shop there that I assumed wouldn't have an issue working on rep. With my 6 year old tagging along and making me a little nuts, I asked the clerk if they would be able to fit my watch while I waited. He was very nice and agreed. I had him look at the watch while I was wearing it and we decided on the amount of links to remove. He didn't comment other than "it will be $20" I though it was a little expensive but the combination of my daughter running around the store and the excitement of having it fitted properly, I decided not to haggle. After about 5 minutes, he returned and asked me to try it on. Perfect fit! He advised that it would be only $10 since it was a "knock off". I was a little taken back but didn't argue. He said that he quoted $20 because he thought it was genuine and that it was one of the best he had ever seen. I paid my $10 and off I went. It was a good day................

Victoria Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I paid my $10 and off I went. It was a good day................ How strange! He cut you a break because he didn't think you could afford another tenner? Or because he got a pang of conscience, at the last minute? But $5-$10 is about what I pay for sizing my watches, so I think you're the one who made out like a bandit. BTW, my mum has a jeweler in Little Havana. $2 for sizing her watches. Sometimes, the guy does it for free, if it's a quickie sizing. Can't beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilingbear Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 He said that he quoted $20 because he thought it was genuine and that it was one of the best he had ever seen. Did you ask him how he knew it was a rep? What was the tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
