You don't want to be building a relationship with a sales representative that will suddenly leave one day.
Then buy everything for the same dealer and have them service your watches. Yes it takes money and time, but if you are serious that's the way.

I didn't think to deal with the owner/immediate family. Once the time comes to make that first purchase, I will absolutely take that advice. Thanks

dress for the occasion, don't go in a suit but also don't go in shorts and flipflops. I respect the SAs, so if i am there to look around i let people who are their to make a purchase ahead of me (and the SA appreciate that) and when the place is not busy the SAs will take the time to answer your questions and explain things to you as well.

100%. I did not ask for the Nautilus in my meeting today, and tbh, I don't really gel with the Aquanaut. I'd like to think the SA appreciated being able to pitch the brand on his own terms without someone like myself coming in with a narrow focus on 1-2 models.
