Icon8 What would you do if you caught an AD backdooring a hard to get Daytona

Too funny, looking for a Rolex from either an AD or a reseller and I am pretty sure that I just realized the reseller (not from this site) is the same person as I spoke with at the AD.

No intention of reporting them and I have no real problem with resellers who mark the prices of a watch up....other than they got the watch and not me !

What would you do if you caught an AD backdooring a hard to get Daytona

Gather documents and tapes of the transaction and Blackmail him for a DaytonaC!

My dad kinda ground into my head as a kid:

" if it has nothing to do with you, mind your own f*kn business and keep your mouth shut"

So that's how I would handle it.

Tell him you have a particular set of skills. Skills you have acquired over a long career. Skills that makes you a nightmare to an AD like him.

I enjoy watches and enjoy talking about watches. It does not distract from other things.

If it's any consolation OP, Beshannon had previously commented about me "what a sad way to go through life"' so you are not alone.

I am thankful for his watch insights (such as "cant get my password reset nightmare" thread), life coaching abilities and extensive use of emojis.

Cheers Mate we can all lighten up and take our own advise.
