Thanks in advance. ;)

always wondering if i pull out a loupe to inspect a watch i am about to buy and then reject it due to some flaw that can only been seen under magnification...will authorised dealers here in Singapore actually entertain me or will they just tell me to stuff it and take it or leave it? 8-)

I saw a guy with a loupe who spent 30-40mins inspecting a pre-owned Rolex Explorer 2 at a well known used watch shop and ultimately didn't buy and the owner of the shop was super patient and nice throughout...so just wondering if i do the same at an AD what will happen..
I want to be a one watch guy!!

why not? especially at an AD. I have asked shops to provide the loupe for me to inspect watches. most have will leg you inspect the watch to your hearts content. no worries. if they dont you can always go to another shop. no biggie.
