Which Rolex Gets The Most Attention?

[GradyPhilpott]

I used to work in a family restaurant to supplement my pension and to keep myself active. The employees were encouraged to chat up the customers and since I am a WIS, or at least an aspiring one, I would talk watches to the customers.

Almost all customers respond well to compliments on their watches and they're more than happy to tell you all about them. The exception to that is certain Rolex wearers.

I stopped talking to Rolex wearers about their watches for two reasons. One, often they are sensitive about discussing in public a $5,000-$25,000 item on their wrists and, two, in that kind of setting, it's hard to tell a fake from the real thing and I don't want to encourage that sort of thing.

I don't know about the kinds of establishments that people here patronize, but if you're getting the kind of service you get based on the kind of watch you wear, you're patronizing the wrong places.
