anyone ever fooled an authorized dealer with a rep?

[tommy_boy]

I was very nearly caught out with my rep on in an AD but luckily for me, I was thinking on my toes and managed to avert disaster.
Last summer my wife and I were out on a shopping trip looking for a birthday present for her. She had mentioned that she would like new shoes but after parking the car near to a high end jewellry shop she said she wanted to have a look at some earrings.
To make matters worse, this shop was a Rolex AD and I was wearing a rep sub! and a short sleeved shirt!!!!
As soon as the security guard buzzed us through the door, I could feel the sweat beginning to bead up on my forehead and I just wished the ground would open up and swallow me. The staff were a 30 something, very elegant lady and a middle aged gentleman standing over by the watches (which I didn't dare glance at!).
I kept my arms by my side and my left pressed against my wife as we walked over to a 3ft high display case containing earrings which the sales lady was standing behind.
And then it happened....
Just as my wife had pointed out a couple of pairs of earings that she would like to take a look at, the watch salesman behind me said "Nice submariner sir- mind if I take a look"
**********SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT**************
And then I had the brainwave....
"Sure, no problem", and as I turned, I deftly unzipped my fly and whipped out my balls and cock in one swift movement and pressed them against the polished glass display case, right in front of the face of the sales girl retrieving the earrings.
She screamed, hitting her head on the underside of the display case and setting off the panic alarm at the same time.
Before I could blink, the security guy has wrestled me to the floor and is on my back pinning me down, my wife now crying hysterically.
To give the police their due, they arrived in under 3 minutes and cuffed me and frog marched me out of the shop, where a sizable crowd had now gathered to see me with my carpet burned nuts out being bundled into the back of the meatwagon.
After a night in the cells, I was released without charge, and the icing on the cake came the following morning when the sergeant was giving me my belongings back he said to me "nice rolex sir!"

Umpteenth quote of this post, but I just read it. :biglaugh:

dumbass....
those sales reps can spot a fake better than most of us.

I agree he's a dumbass, but the second part I don't agree with at all. Sales people don't spend much time scrutinizing macros, and holding the watched under a loupe like a lot of us do. They just sell them, they aren't obsessed with them. Just my .02

that jackal post is right up there, with the muai tai post, from the "totally owned thread" :lol:

:facepalm:

Stick around a while, then see if you still fee the same way... I have no doubt that I could walk into an AD with my modded Ploprof and never be questioned about its authenticity.

I could walk into an AD with my unmodded SOH v2 and I think I'd pass the test



(although that would be stupid, so I won't lol)

 

[audace]

Hah..well let me tell you my AD story..

In fear of getting my balls burnt by you guys instead of a carpet like the jackal..

So i was just out and about..and walked passed a jewelery store that carries IWC..
I went in, and the AD was very rude, i asked to see a Big pilot, she brought it out ( was not happy about it)..
So i pulled my jacket back and took of my Dutchy RG HBB.. and placed it on her IWC cushion..
Checked out the Big Pilot while she was staring with a open mouth at the HBB..
Due to her bad behavior before i think she didn't dare to touch it, so she just looked at it..
When i was done with the BP.. i put my HBB back on..
And then IT CAME.. : WOW thats a nice watch did you buy it at NK ( our Hublot AD)..I said no..I got it abroad.. she leaped on my wrist.. and checked the watch out..and said..its Stunning.
After that she emailed me about a St Exupery and put me on their mailing list..

So yeah.. i agree with you guys..that its a stupid risk.. but some AD´s are more stupid than the risk

:biglaugh::biglaugh:

I was walking around with my PAM 005K in the mall and passed by an AD who carries various brands like Tissot, Omega, U-Boat, Cartier, Concord, etc. I spotted the Ploprof and wanted a closer look so I strolled in and a lady sales approached me. I didn't try to hide my rep or draw special attention to it and just acted natural.

I own the v1 Ploprof and just wanted to see what a gen feel like. I asked the lady about the orange button and how it works. She took out the instruction manual and said that it's a bazel lock but couldn't figure out how it works. I said just forget it but she insisted on getting the saleman who actually went on the Omega course to come over to show us how it works because she wanted to learn also!

I also asked about that new U-Boat but she said it's a special edition. They had one but it's gone. I did try on a few Flightdecks and they actually wear not that big on the wrist. She said if I want to leave my number so she can call if they have any new stock and after I politely declined, gave me her own business card.

Another fine example of the knowledge of a regular salesperson in an AD. I think the sales might be more of an expert at the store which just carries one brand but for those which carries multiple brands, they really just know the basic and try to make a sale.
