What watch gives what vibes to the SA?

[Ferrari308]

If I am going to a Rolex AD, I just try to make sure I am wearing a Rolex.

My ADs are 1.5 and 2 hours away from me. They don't see me every week, or every month. So, to keep it interesting I try to wear something that might be a little bit interesting to them - maybe something they haven't seen me wear before.

Yes, I have gone gray market and honestly only one of my watches was purchased from an AD. I would love the chance to buy from them, but I waited a long time for some of my purchases. Others just kind of fell into my lap and I couldn't pass up - like my two 1601s and a 69173 I picked up. I wasn't actively looking, but couldn't pass up the deals. I did get offered a 16710 recently and couldn't pass on it. So, maybe next time I will wear that 17610 or my new to me 1601 - just because they haven't seen those yet.

If they want my money, then I don't think it matters what I wear - it's all about timing, and I haven't had the timing on my side to this point.

I am definitely NOT a flipper and don't intend to become one.
