Watch you were wearing when you picked your first Rolex from AD?

This is a conversation starter!

Apple Watch Series 4. But that's the beauty of Japan, I didn't feel the SAs judged me at all. I think this varies from location to location.

Well, I don't remember the watch, but it was most assuredly an inexpensive, quartz watch of which I had many and still do.

As for attire, I was wearing a t-shirt and jeans as usual.

The watch was a 114270.

I paid cash.

14060 on a NATO. The bracelet is now so stretched it needs to go for a holiday to visit
Michael young, or be replaced by RSC. The sales assistant had commenced employment
a short while ago, it was interesting to see the reaction to the older reference.

Love this question. I feel like it’s such a cat and mouse game between the purchaser and the AD. As a first time buyer I went back-and-forth between my IWC and my Apple Watch as I tried to build a relationship.

Since my first purchase this year (Datejust Wimbledon)
I have definitely noticed difference on how they treat me when I walk into a new Watch store.

Just my personal experience.

I was wearing a black ND sub as I purchased a YM 2. I was on my way to Vancouver (from the UK) and wore the new watch on the flight so I could get used to the size (it's big!).

No idea; I do know what the first watch I got from and AD was however. I've no longer got it either.

No watch as Rolex was my first watch back in 1989.

Makes no difference to the AD whatsoever. They couldn't care less, unless it was bought from them.
