That has been exactly my experience too.

Pretty normal sales BS.

Sad to see that personnel of that sort actually works at an AD.

If you want to spend an extra 50-60 percent buying at an AD, that's ok,
because then you 'really know' it's a rolex......

But I think the icing on the cake is to buy based on advice from a guy
who knows nothing about the watch he is selling you.......
You need to find a new AD....
