So me and the fiance went up to Lowe's yesterday. The list of items to pick up included some clear silicone bathroom cauk; which was actually for the shower stall not my watch, and also a battery for the Altima coupe's keyless remote, and a replacement filter for the refridgerator water dispenser. We looked high and low for a water filter, and found nothing. I removed the filter out of the refridgerator on the showroom floor so I could easily explain the piece I needed. As I got up off of my hands and knees from pulling the demo filter, I look up to see the Lowes employee standing there, staring at us, waving a replacement filter at us with a smile. And what was that shiny thing on his wrist?
We talked about the filter, but I wasn't paying attention. What was this? Stainless. Blue anodized looking dial, with white print in all the right places. A small stainless rotating bezel. Air-King? It looked brand new too.
"Hey thats a nice Rolex".
What did I do? I said it already, there was no changing my words. Maybe he saw me staring at his lower area the whole time, and at least now realizes I was looking at his WATCH. Ugh, whats wrong with me. When am I going to learn, no one wants to talk watches in the wild!
"Yah, thank you. It was a gift from my grandmother. My grandfather collected watches"
Hmm, then why were you wearing a seemingly brand new air-king.
"...and she, bought this for me for my birthday".
I said "Thats beautiful, what model is it?"
"It's an Explorer"
No its not. I mean. I'm just saying. But, really I can't say that. Ugh... This is going downhill.
"Oh, wow, I've never seen an Explorer like that"
"Thanks. My grandfather had a whole bunch of old pocket watches too, my grandmother gave those to me. She knew I liked watches"
Where have I heard this before? From the guy standing in line at the cafe a few weeks ago when I said "Nice Planet Ocean" maybe? The He valve was exactly at 10, I bet that was a fake, too. And he still passed it as gen when I said "this is my rep Sub".
My fiance noticed me midsection gazing, bewilderment on my face, and like the good woman she is, she bailed me out "He's always noticing peoples watches, right honey?"
The helpful gentleman replied, "Oh, I understand, me too"
"Ok, thanks man, have a good one."
we walked down the isle. "That was fake babe."
"Honey, just because he works at Lowe's..."
"No, its not that. It wasn't even an Explorer."
And then we go about our day.
This is the watch he was wearing-
I was just sitting here at work, thinking how nice the Air-King looks, and figured i'd share the story. I have many uncomfortable watch watching stories, feel free to share yours too.
By the way, don't buy anything from replica master, I just used the first picture I could find.
