Just the other day I walked into a Rolex AD just to check out the new Land Dweller. I was dressed modestly had on a polo, chinos, and a cap. Nothing flashy. The store looked like the headquarters of the Federal Reserve or something. 3 bodyguards. Bulletproof glass, huge steel reinforced doors. Way over the top.
I went up to this "sales associate" and ask if I can see the Land Dweller. The man looks at me like I just asked him for his kidney or to hand over his firstborn or something. He goes, “Sorry, we don’t have that model” I point right at it in the display case and say “What’s that then?” And this clown tells me it doesn’t have a movement in it and isn’t for sale. Okay, fine. Can I at least try it on?” Just to get a feel for it on the wrist.
And this dude hits me with the Rolex policy sermon you need to “build a purchase history,” “new releases don’t go to just anyone,” blah blah blah. I was like I’m not asking you to sell me a moon rock. I just wanted to try it on. Not steal it. Not lick it. Just see how it looks.
He still says no and basically tells me to come back when I’m someone. He was dismissive and rude as hell. The arrogance was next level. These guys really act like they’re gatekeeping some holy artifact. It’s a damn watch not the Ark of the Covenant. I’ve never felt so judged for breathing near glass in my life. Who do these mofokers think they are. Fuck you.
