This is one of those days where I had a complete WIS moment that still has me kinda shaking my head.
A client of mine came into my shop today - he's not a 'regular', but every now and then I see him, and today I noticed he had on what looked like an older date Sub though I've never noticed him wearing a watch at all before - as I usually do to anyone who comes in wearing a nice watch (we're local and frankly, small-talk is about 25% of my job, day-to-day) I said, "hey, nice watch - Submariner?"
He grinned, showed it to me for a second, said yeah, told me it was a birthday gift just after high school graduation in 1984, but then said, "...I pretty much never wear it, it keeps terrible time - but of course, they aren't known for timekeeping, are they?"
...
???
I had no words that I could come up with quickly enough to not sound abrasive and suddenly found some very fascinating things about his accounts to show him...
...and now I keep thinking;
that poor watch - it probably hasn't been serviced since it was given to him! Click to expand...
