If I were you, I would look at everything they have in the showcase. Those are the models you will be able to buy. Try them All on. Ask a lot of questions and get educated.
Absolutely this ^

If you walk in like a know-it-all they'll tire of you quickly, but go in with what you know and be willing to be educated. If you love watches then that will come across when you look at a piece you like.

I think ADs are probably tired of people coming in waffling away like they're best mates with TS and trying to smarm their way into a hot watch.
