gmchris 68 Posted November 13, 2013 Can't believe this has gone one for 18 pages. Oh well if you can't beat em . . To be honest I think it is wrong to treat the AD's with such godliness. Sure the manager in the back room may afford a nice collection, but I bet the guys and gals on the counter are on your average mall store wage, maybe even just in temp jobs like the aforementioned student. Hell, if they spot a half decent rep they are probably wishing they could ask where to get one themselves. A decent sales assistant will treat Everyone as a potential sale. I was in the multi-brand AD last month and the assistant asked if I needed help, so I gave him the usual 'just looking' fuck off smile. He asked what brand I liked so we talked moonies and tags and stuff, and after a few mins he asked me to point out which ones I already had. I pointed out 4 then added with a polite smile, "but not gens unfortunately". He says "Great! So you already know what you are comfortable with and have a favourite" at which point the conversation turned moonie and he has one in my hand. NOW he drops in the killer line that almost made me go gen ( don't panic I said almost ) "Mate, I can do this for you on 0%, then you can sell one rep a month, that's 4 months paid for, and within a year you can be choosing the next one, just tell the wife its another rep." Salesman of the year. For the record I didn't roll up my sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted November 13, 2013 FFS do i need to read 16 pages because i was busy doing something yesterday. Anyone here who can give me a 5 line summary as I would hate to think i missed something exciting? Actually don't bother as i really could not give a toss about the rights or wrongs of wearing a rep in a TD. i have never even thought about it, I go in with whatever is on my wrist that day gen or rep and no one ever takes a blind bit of notice - unless its a massive Invicta then they all run for cover. • Guy walks into an AD with a Rep on his wrist. • Guy posts about his experience. • Guy is met with facepalms, hysteria, homophobia, over-reaction, occasional humor, threadcrapping, and a tiny bit of common sense. • Common sense is lost amongst the overwhelming bullshit. • RWG ensues. I've been in AD's with reps on before. Big fucking deal. If I take it off to try something on, it goes in my pocket. What, I'm going to walk into an AD watch-less? I seldom plan trips to AD's... they just happen when they happen. And this is the big difference between how most of us would behave, and how the OP behaved. What the OP did was shown in the two posts he made. "(the salesman) started commenting on the vanilla smell of the rubber strap on the Chopards and pulled one out, nicely offering for me to try it on. I thought, well I have to take off my watch to try on the Chopard. I thought, what the hell, I’m wearing a pretty good rep, so I took it off and casually laid it on the counter. I didn’t say “hey check out my gen watch, sucker”..................................................and from another post - "The sales guy, who was wearing the watch in the pic below (I'm showing that here just for eye candy as it was a stunning watch), commented very positively on my 299. I have a convertible and had just come in from a nice sunny drive, and the lume was glowing even under the store lights. It looked awesome The op was deliberately flaunting a rep in front of a salesman, who was almost honour bound not to call him out. Thats the really bad form, and that's what I consider unacceptable behaviour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're too telling.... It's really a compliment to the quality of the reps we have access to in recent times. A few years ago no one would have the balls to even attempt that. I think the PAM's and Omega's have made the biggest strides, Omega for sure in terms of recent improvements. The PAMs have been good for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P4GTR 0 Posted November 14, 2013 You are right. I agree I should have put it in my pocket. Why? Who gives a fuck? The rule is in place for the fucktards that dwell among us. The guy that would be taking their new quartz Super Avenger to Breitling ADs for parts/service request or offer it as trade-in after asking to hold his side by side w/ the gen. There is no way those sales people can differentiate at arms length a gen from rep on any modern pam (or other super rep for that matter) and If they can they already knew these level of reps exist so it's a moot point. My favorite is the "they might confiscate it" line. I'd be so God damned amused with any sales person that tried that with me, I honestly don't know what I would do.
