The name of the AD should have been left out of the OP's story. It wasn't necessary to make his point and caused many to question his motives or "bitterness" over something. Not posting the store's name eliminates all those speculations and would have allowed more focus on the substance. People in business are really at the mercy of whatever people chose to post online.

But I never said that...

What I said was in post #250, and it was:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, that process is demeaning and such treatment of nice folks is absurd.


I guess Devildog has no shame, and you too, Bluestreak, have no shame if you deny the obvious alteration...

Except he followed the quote by “fixed that for you,” which is a common line used on the forum when people are adding their own editorial comment to a post. It’s clear he wasn’t claiming young said it.

What’s your problem?

Worked at an AD in Cincinnati

Shouldn’t have put R&P on here. They are a great shop. Also from first hand experience I’m a “nobody” and I’ve never had to buy anything I didn’t already plan to buy. I have received every allocated piece I have asked for. Just have to be a normal customer, patient and nice. Pretty easy if you ask me compared to some ADs. I’ve not had to spend 50k to get a steel Rolex allocation like some ADs. Just

Not a very good look because your butt hurt about something.

I suggest taking this post down.

Boy this thread has really gone off the rails and gotten very controversial.

Doesn't sound like his guys could change a bezel so I think you are in the clear.

How do the clientele in Cinci compare to other cosmopolitan areas around the world? I'd add that this is the only town I know of with a Rebel flag painted on the roof of a barn as one drives into town from the north.

They make 800,000 watches. 5 million people want to buy one. The idea that a business should sell only to nice people or random people or everyone gets one every 5 years...is the furthest this from capitalism I can come up with.

"Around the world", there's more indentured servitude/child labor/death/ destruction and chaos in the world than ever before and you're judging an American city in 2023 on one barn. You must work for NASA.

I was born in 1980, but I have a deep appreciation for The Dukes of Hazzard. I'd drive the General Lee with a SkyDweller.
