What's More Believable

Well I sold cars for 10years-and I bought a gen GMT Master my first year of selling cars and wore that til i found this site-now all I wear are my reps :lol:

Wear what you want-its your wrist. 8)

I have always liked Rolexes. When I turned 21 I bought one. Plain and simple. No handouts, no cushy job...just desire.

If you want to wear a Rolex, wear a Rolex. Don't ask. 95% of the people out there won't care.

I do have to agree with this.. I think because we, as watch-obsessors care about watches so much we feel like everyone else does too...... but I imagine only 5 out of 100 of your customers cares what kind of watch you are wearing and is reading into that much...

im 18 and ordered a nymphomariner.... most people will see a nice watch... some people will see rolex and think fake... some people will see rolex and call me out... some people will think "hey nice expensive one".... i am happy about every compliment and it is fair for me to get called out so i don't care a bit about it!

Sounds like I need to quit selling cars or get a Timex guess I should buy a timex, an omega, and a rolex and do an experiment to see how many cars I sell each month with the different watches Although Feb. has been pretty slow with my Seiko

LOL

that would be good to see. i'm interested to know out of curiosity.

maybe i make a poll, see what people think.

Sorry, when I said dealer, I meant salesperson. I don't own the company or anything (would be nice though).

If your a car salesman then you need to buy a couple dozen asian auto Submariners - then take it off your wrist and throw it in on the car deal so you can close everyone.

The answer is so simple. :wink:

LOL LOL!!!!

"If you buy this today, i'll throw in my rolex!" *proceeds to take watch off to toss into the car seat*

I am young (early 20s) and I rotate between an LV sub, and black sub, a datejust, PAM 111H, Bretiling, and occasionally a daytona. I look the part and never make much mention of the watch. They are noticed frequenty but I have never been asked if they are real. Both of my parents have gen's and that helps.

Get what you like, who cares what anyone else thinks. Honestly at the end of the day, its you wears it an enjoys it. Many young people have substantial incomes early in life and whos business is it of anyone else to judge or decide how you allocate your money?

I received my first Rolex when I was 21, it stayed in a safe deposit box until I passed 30. I didn't really know anything about reps and it never occurred to me that someone would think it was fake, worse I assumed people would think I was wearing a Rolex, and I just didn't want to be "that guy" you know?

The situation you don't want to be in is this: One day a student of mine was asking me a question about something, I was pointing to something on his paper... he noticed I was wearing a rolex, I noticed he was wearing a rolex, he turned bright red and started to sweat... I pretended I didn't see what watch he was wearing... he never wore the watch to class again.

Maybe ask your self this... You are making a sale to a customer, big ticket item... He notices your wearing the same watch that he is.... What is his next reaction?

Sales is a very unique profession, what is the golden rule on the forms... choose your dealer before you choose your rep...

There is more to a man than a watch.

Not trying to be spiritual or anything but when we look at a person we look at more than his wrist.

You can pull anything off with the right props and the right attitude.

I work for a guy - 28 years old - pulled down 2 mil last year - dresses sharp - acts confident - wears GEN watches. His fave is a white gold daytona with alligator strap. They could all be fake (I know they are not) but have never been in a situation where anyone even mentioned his watch -even when we take clients out on the town and we are all three sheets to the wind.. Why? He looks and acts the part - obvious inteligence and manners.

Ever read the book "The Millionaire Next Door"? I have a friend that is the perfect example. He is a painting contractor who likes jeans, boots, pick up trucks, hunting and GEN Rolex watches because he owns a mutli-million dollar commercial paint company. He likes honkey tonk bars too - and has never been called even when he wears a 20K watch with paint spatered jeans - because once he opens his mouth you know he is no ignorant red neck

If you eat with your mouth open or can't complete a sentence without the word "f@ck" then you can wear a timex, much less a Rolex, and people will think its a fake or stolen.

Doesn't matter what you do for a living or how old you are. Whether you can pull off wearing a phoney rolex or drive a fiberglass lamborgini with a fiero engine has more to do with what is above your neck than what is on your wrist.

my 2 cents
