Nobody will sell me a Patek watch

Every jewelry store I go into I am laughed out the door when I ask to buy a Patek that is just sitting in the case.

Getting mogged by fake scarcity scales tactics. One guy told me that the watch I want would require me to spend 100k plus in the store on other jewelry. I just laughed at him and left.

I know misc is poorcells mostly but even moggers are getting mogged out there. Stay safe brahs.

Sorry Op, that watch is for proper gentlemen. You probably brought dirt into the store.

I never understood going to ADs. Just buy the watch online. Bob's watches, Crown and Caliber, David SW etc. No bullchit, just watches for sale.

Luxury products in general are hilarious.

Imagine paying $15,000 for a watch when you can get a near replica for under $500.

They won't sell it to you because you can't afford it.
Not in the AM

I never understood jewelry or designer clothing. I much rather be comfortable without wearing a bunch of useless crap on me and spend good money on firearms and investments. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

Just curious what model are you looking for. I opened an office where I’ve been buying, selling and consigning watches and jewelry. Maybe I can help you out

Then you'll never get one. You either jester max. Know somebody who owns the AD. Or you're fkd.

They could sell that watch in 5 minutes if they wanted to. They know every tom dick and harry will come in and try and buy a desirable piece that they could just flip and 3x their money in 30 min.

That's indeed unacceptable. Many replica watch websites sell replicas for less than $200.
