Should have worn an AP ZF 15500 or JF Diver instead and made them feel like they were doing you a favour lol.

I think it depends on the country.

For example, an American is equal to 7 Italians and a pizza, or 3 Italians holding 2 pizzas each. :p
I've heard this but never confirmed it. Italians are difficult to standardize though... so many variants to consider. Some are better travelled than others. And even the pizzas change from region to region.

As a non-standard American I'd think it was more like 1:3 for most European countries. Standard Americans are more in the 1:6 range... worse in the most standard of standard parts of the U.S.

What kind of pizza? This is important. I need to know my worth when I look in the mirror.

Everyone except ArchieLuxury. He asked for one and they told him to fu*k off, go online and look at the pictures instead. I think it was in Melbourne.

I spent 25 years in Melbourne. I know the ADs there. I can absolutely see this in my mind's eye.

I just think we need to be clear. Is one of those Americans the OP?

My buddy worked in a number of AD in Asia and he was trained to NOT call reps/fakes out and just play along as if they are gen. Main reason being they don’t really care about what watch YOU wore into their shop, and they only care what THEY want to sell to you (hint: not the R factory SS sports model). Typically ADs aren’t overflowing with customers that they would be too busy to serve any walk-ins. Another reason is that calling someone out, whether if you are right or wrong, is likely to not get his/her business. Their objective is to make you happily part with your hard earn money!

Good point. What the hell do they care what you are wearing, if they are just there to make a sale. The thinking of "do not take a rep to an AD" was that there could be that 1 guy who could shed light on our beautiful rep community and try to take us down. That is all there is to it.
