    Perhaps they were conflating application pieces with ‘normal’ pieces. Wouldn’t expect any sports models (seemingly the focus here) to need external sign off

    They were absolutely talking about sports models. My own acquisition of a Nautilus had to be approved (I’d been waiting for about a year).

    I know someone who made a very, very strong jewelry purchase there (in my opinion anyway).

    What they thought they were getting in return was very different from what they actually ended up getting. I would have lost it at them.

    Its the most comfortable, the lightest, and other than watch forum nerds nobody gives it a second glance.
    Strange (IMO) that some like a watch to be hefty!

    I wouldn't mind if to buy an Aquanaut they insisted you also bought a Royal Oak and Daytona

    Call anything you want , I’m just repeating what a very long standing member of staff told me.

    To be fair I haven’t got the will nor inclination to make up a story like that , in fact why would I ?

    I wasn’t suggesting for a moment that you’d made it up - apologies if it came across that way.

    I'd be fuming. I think he is too but is playing it down

    What has this 'hobby' turned into ? Behaviour like this that's making me lose the 'love' to be honest.
