Sales peoples comments based on your watch

[Flying Clog]

Am curious to see if others have had similar experience after a sales person notices your watch and is "not backwards in coming forwards" !

Mrs FC and I are currently on vacation. Didn't want to fly (I've done nearly 40 flights for work this year already) so took the car and are driving around Europe. Currently in Venice - beautiful city. However I digress . . . . .

We visited Murano today and went to one of the glass furnaces on the island. We wanted to buy a piece but wanted nothing too large / extravagant / expensive. Having looked at a number of pieces I asked what sort of deal we could do on one particular item. This was the Italian sales persons response word for word (imagine the italian accent . . . . )

"Signore please - when people understand and surround themselves with the finer things - for example your wife's two colour Rolex and your - that is the white gold Submariner is it not - do not tell me you cannot pay for this piece"

Similar experiences from others ??

We did walk away but unfortunately liked the piece so went back and purchased it but got a great discount.
The sales guy was actually quite a nice guy to be honest, and also had a nice black bezel 116710 himself which we talked about for a while after his comment - he was a bit of a Rolex fan.
