What does your AD wear?

In all the time I've known my AD, he's always worn Omega watches.

He's been a Rolex AD for over 20 years but I've never seen him wearing one, not sure why but I will ask when I see him.

For all of you that go down the AD route, what does yours wear?

He says Rolex is a POS company w/ shitty tactics because of the way they control their line.

I have heard some crazy stories and I do believe them true; however, I'll still wear my Rolex and enjoy it.

My AD Steven wears a Sub Date. The first time I walked into the shop and started looking at Rolex, he took his own watch off his wrist to let me try it on.
Bought two from him so far.............

An older DD that he has refurbished often and shows to customers what a 15 yr old "like new" DD looks like.

Amazing how they look when they come back from NYC all redone and buffed out.

It is a great sales tactic.

I didn't buy mine at the closest AD (Ross Simons in Providence), but last time I went in to take a look, he said that he has an old Rolex he was given as a gift about 20 years ago, and does not wear it much, but wears a Breitling most of the time now.

The owners at my AD seem to wear something different each time I see them. I'm sure they have an impressive collection.
