I was with some friends for a birthday event and I decided to stop in and check out the weight of the newer style presidents on the wrist.

I talked shop with a woman that worked there (About my age or younger) and she was very fun to chat with and nice/knowledgable. (I forget her name, I'm awful with that)

She said I looked familiar when I got more into my watch knowledge as she pulled item after item from the case for me to check out.

They have a great selection and she knew I was just browsing/more of a used rolex guy and was more then happy to not only show me what I wanted to see but even recommended I hold/inspect certain watches to compare.

Eventually we spoke about this forum and she said she remembered my (And Rikki's!) epic thread on this forum http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...highlight=3035 and my picture is attached to my profile. How neat is that? Rikki we are infamous! Hahaha.

Very cool. She also mentioned doing some watch tech stuff as a hobby on the side as well.

I'd say drop in and say hello. It's rare for me to have a nice visit at an AD.

She gave me a great rolex book too.

I really wanted a white gold president which they did not have at the time and in the end DateJustRyan supplied me with one a few days later. Loving that weight!

Also: It's fair to say I visited this AD once before and there was a gentleman that works[ed] there that is equally pleasant to deal with.

Figured I'd post a positive visit since I read and experience a lot of horror stories.

Very cool story, is she also a member here or just a lurker?

LordNinja · 25 January 2014, 08:07 AM

I did not ask, I got the sense she was a member. Maybe she will chime in.

Great story Chris, not often you can talk about watches! Even at an AD sometimes...
Hope she will see this thread

Very cool and would be interesting if she did chime in! Cheers,

I was pretty impressed. I suppose it was a rather crazy thread and awesome site.. but to be recognized was cool.

Any Asian-looking man named Mike in a gold Rolex must be kilyung, be sure to ask him if you run into anyone fitting this description.
