That's her polite way of asking you if you wanted the new Deepsea challenge.

In certain cultures it’s considered a compliment to point out one’s fat wrists. She was probably enamored by your manly wrists.

Hopefully the AD will make it up to you with a Daytona or 126610LV, something like that?
Doubtful. They all claim poverty. Best to Mr. Big Boy

Cats are OK.

Why all this cat talk.

What can you do though... it's a competitive market for quality salespeople nowadays.
She was rude. Plain and simple.

My current BSH is huge. He’s a long boy but also CHONK. 36mm Datejust he’d push off the counter and shatter. He needs something like a 47mm Panerai to stop him.

I’d say only the slimmest of gents can get away with a 36mm these days. Even then I’d say it’s more of a unisex/ladies size. My wife has gone from a 37mm YM to a 40mm ceramic GMT, and she’s small. However that’s her taste and you’ll have yours.

If you’re happy, that’s all that counts, and she should really have kept her opinions to herself.

Several red flags here. Wondering if someone hacked Chewie's account.

First, Chewie does not walk anywhere. That is what private jets are for.

Second Chewie would never stoop so low as to personally go into a retail establishment. His minions to his shopping.

Third, the Chewie we all know, love and respect, owns several AD's. The sales people come to him.

Obvious imposter.

Reported.

I would have asked for the manger right away to complain. And then ask that they make up the moral damages by putting you on top of the list for first meteorite Daytona they have coming in...
