Three strikes at FPJ-NYC

Here’s a story… started building a relationship with FPJ-NYC a couple of years ago… right from the beginning, I told the AD my first watch, original love is the yellow ARS2 (love a light sports watch…).. then came 3 strikes -

1. In my wish list of 5 that they insist I maintain, I said I don’t want the Elegante, I said, ‘cool watch but I am not paying more than 10K for it, but maybe if I win the lottery, I’ll ask for a QP Elegante that can move to the right date/time when I pick it up if Mr. FPJ wants to do customs…’ guy laughs it off but he found it offensive.
2. After a mixer, told my rep to not invite me for mixers because I spent 30 mins with a group of guys who literally told me they want FPJ because after Rolex and AP, this is where the money is, another guy showed me his black ceramic openworked AP QP and went on and on on how it’s the most complicated complication ever by AP  .. and said he desperately wants the FPJ Renaissance [sic] watch, I nodded and said yes - Renaissance [sic] is a great watch.. told my REP I cannot take this, and there’s 1 guy worth talking to for every 15 who don’t know squat about watches. He again gave me a lecture on the virtues of these mixers.
3. On my most recent visit, he asked why the RQ is No. 5 on my list.. I told him that the current model is ugly, if all I see is a view of from between her legs.. vagina, butt and boobs and I am constantly wondering what she looks like… but if I put it at #5, maybe you guys will move onto the next iteration of FPJ.. mega offended. Needless to say, I haven’t been invited since for anything and haven’t heard anything from them since.
