This was very good to read!!!

I have not had this experience yet. But recently, someone came over to me when I was wearing the old looking Pepsi I got from here, that has changed hands a lot and looks really vintage like a 60's 1675. I was offered big bucks for it and had to say "sorry, its been in the family for too long". Of course, I meant the rwi family, but I didn't tell him that.

I enjoyed reading this, my favorite part will remain :
And then—get this—he begins to cry. Quiet, little sobs, like this watch was the answer to all of his life’s problems.

Man… what a wild ride of a story and honestly, I love how you handled it. That kind of situation could throw anyone off, especially when it starts with Günther’s laser-focused stare and ends with a dude crying over your wrist. If that happened to me? I’d probably go through the same emotional rollercoaster (panic, awkward pride) and then full-on acceptance with a side of surreal.

The fact that you owned it in the moment, didn’t try to spin some wild lie, and just stood confidently in your rep game? That’s badass. Respect. And that ending? That’s the stuff of watch forum legend. You didn’t just wear a timepiece, you unintentionally became someone’s holy grail moment.

In your shoes, I’d have walked out of that café feeling like James Bond meets urban legend. Reps or gens, at the end of the day, it’s all about how you wear it. You wore it with confidence and walked away with a story none of us will forget.

You know this isn't real, right? 🤣
