"I almost bought that same watch at Walmart the other day"

[Bustelo]

No one else to share this with, figured you might get a kick out of it..

Me and a friend were out catching up not too long ago. We're sitting at the bar doing what you do and such; myself a vodka drink, him a Heineken. He is wearing an AP diver forged carbon he got no more than a week earlier. We're BS'ing, and he admits he loved the watch but wasn't bonding with it now that he owned it. I agreed with him, stating I felt the same way and sold mine some time ago for reasons I couldn't put my finger on. As we're sitting there, a guy comes up to the bar to order a drink, and while standing next to my friend, points (at my friends AP) and says "I almost bought that exact same watch at Walmart yesterday!". The guy then went on to say he decided against it due to having a cell phone or something to similar effect. The guy leaves, my friend and I have a laugh about it. By the next morning... my friend had the watch up for sale.

Chance encounter with random stranger ruined a $25,000 watch for my friend and finally gave a concise rationale as to why we could not bond with it. The AP forged carbon diver looked too "Wal-marty". A new WIS industry term I do believe.
