The Dark Side of Watches

I don’t particularly care to shop for watches in person. I feel intimidated and pressured. I’m sure most of that stems from my introversion. But being in sales in my wine career, I learned to spot the indicators in a sales setting and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Buying a car is painful. Selling one is even more so. But shopping for luxury watches, in a high-toned watch or jewelry store, really gives me the creeps. I’m an introvert.

Thanks to Rolex, I came up with an alternative to trying watches on in person, store side. Rolex has “exhibition” watches in their AD stores and they are technically Rolex on the outside, but without movements and the parts that make time-telling vital. Still, one can go inside a store and “try” one on, get a feel for the watch. Now, buying one, that’s another story. But trying one on, easy enough.

But you have to walk into the store and go through all that mishegoss dance. I don’t want to do that, so I came up with my own plan.
