·You need someplace to put your new watch.
What watch do you wear when you go watch-hunting?

·If I go to a watch fair or thrift store or buy from some guy that doesn’t know his stuff, I either don’t wear a watch or have my smart watch. This is because I don’t know the knowledge they hold and I wanna get it cheap lol. I will share what I know when asked. Otherwise, I’ll keep my mouth shut!
If I go to a watch store or meetups, I’ll wear what I own. However I feel that day.
Also, I don’t think it matters what you wear but don’t have holes in them lmao and be clean and hygienic.

·I like to flex my “boat casual” style
With the hand crafted Hodinkee extras
And lastly, the understated Rolex Domino’s watch really brings it all together. They know I mean business when they see me walk through the door.

And the real topper is my Rolex Domino’s watch. This insures they know I mean business and not to question me.

·Omega Speedmaster. Then you bore the sales rep with endless trivia about the moon landing and the space program until they cut you a discount to get you outta there.

··Ωf Jury memberI don’t disagree with your additional information, Tony, but the “base” calibers manufactured by JLC for those other houses were among the best. Otherwise, why would the big three risk their reputations by using them? And the level of finishing that JLC puts into its own watches is certainly done to a very high standard. Here’s a photo of the movement in my JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon.
I agree with the first part, but is JLC still supplying movements to those other manufacturers? I'm ignorant of what is happening with the contemporary industry, and was referring to the '50s-'70s.

·Sales people generally don't care what watch you're wearing, they've seen them all. Now if you've bought a watch from them previously, it's a nice touch to wear it when shopping for a new one. It's especially true when dealing with Rolex ADs because it shows them you are not a flipper.

·The watch is irrelevant. Clothes make the man. So I and my grandson, Niko, usually try to dress conservatively on such occasions.

·I wear something size compatible - where I know the fit and is about the same size for the watch I'm targetting. Most of the time, by default, I'll bring my speedmaster, since I know the fit of it so well on my wrist, I use it for comparison.

·I wear a Rolex when visiting Omega (occasionally helps with a discount because they want me over on Team Ω) and an Omega when visiting Rolex (helps with nothing but does piss them off).

··Home For Wayward WatchesI tried wearing a streaming nose due to a cold caught in Switzerland last fall, dabbing at it with a soggy tissue while looking at a new Seamaster in the boutique at the Omega Museum. Thought perhaps they'd cut me a "real deal" because they felt sorry for me, or else out of disgust and an in an effort to hurry us out of there.
Didn't work.

·I agree with Larry: I dress and wear a watch to set the expectation that (i) I know what I want, (ii) I have the ability to buy it, and (iii) I know the value & won't be taken advantage of

·If what I hear about Rolex ADs is true and that they "size you up" to see if you're "worthy" of being allocated a watch, then perhaps I should borrow a friend's Rolex to wear if I'm shopping for one. Just to show brand loyalty, that I can afford it and that I'm not a flipper. My 2¢ for those who want to play the game.

·I'm heading to the NAWCC show in DFW this week. Junk clothes. Ball cap. Backpack with 'trades' and a watch on my arm that I am willing to sell. Longines mystery dial this time.
Dealers there size you up as you approach. I just intently listen to what they say. Never correct them. They can tell a watch hound by the way they handle the watches. Just like the way you can tell a real cowboy by the way he wears his hat. I love the negotiating process with the pythons 😉
