Is it weird to go into stores and ask to try on six figure watches (assuming no intent to purchase)
Actually, I always let them know and just read the situation. I started by always declining to try them on, since I felt bad. Then I realized that they really want you to try it on. They like talking about them and, if you are knowledgeable, like to hear your part. That's really the way you know the person behind the counter is a real watch person. Nowadays, I make it clear that I am researching and that those watches are probably not anywhere in the near or mid-term future and take it from there. Nine times out of ten, they say, "You have to try this on, you will love how it look and feels on."
