well said! i think it’s more along the lines of i want to make a good impression and say the right words so that i get the watch that i want.

i dislike this process so much but that’s the name of the game here.

I forget how many folks they have there but by ‘appointment only’ you will likely end up with one of 3 guys.
One guy is awesome.
One guy is super nice but you will teach him more about watches and the brand than he knows.
One guy will seem like he is trying to sell you on a Code, a Ladies Datejust Nextdoor at Mayors, or a used car.

You will quickly find out who you are dealing with :) Good luck
Ha ha, thats a funny observation about the staff. I live very close to this store and went in but was not too impressed as it seems like an add on to the jewelers next door and not a true AP boutique. I was wearing my RO and the people were nice enough but I will probably continue buying in Miami at Bal Harbour where I travel a few times a year. Bal Harbour is a much nicer experience.

Hoping you give an update on how it went -

Nothing to be nervous about - go and enjoy the watches! Have a beverage if offered and relax. Watches are fun plain and simple.
