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, โSorry, we donโt have that modelโ I point right at it in the display case and say โWhatโs that then?โ And this clown tells me it doesnโt have a movement in it and isnโt for sale. Okay, fine. Can I at least try it on?โ Just to get a feel for it on the wrist.
And this dude hits me with the Rolex policy sermon you need to โbuild a purchase history,โ โnew releases donโt go to just anyone,โ blah blah blah. I was like Iโm 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 Iโm someone. He was dismissive and rude as hell. The arrogance was next level. These guys really act like theyโre gatekeeping some holy artifact. Itโs a damn watch not the Ark of the Covenant. Iโve never felt so judged for breathing near glass in my life. Who do these mofokers think they are. Fuck you.
