Depends what you’re shopping shop. If it’s Rolex - I’d pop into tourneau, strike up a convo and go from there.
Outside of watches of Switzerland in Hudson yards, i haven’t experienced any type of snobbery from any Rolex boutique in NYC.
The way it works in the boutique you visited, works the same way in NYC. The boutique gets an allocation, then each SA competes for the allocation.
