Providers: What would you do if a client bought you a ROLEX / Hobbiests would you buy your ATF a ROLEX

[Dagny D.E.W.]

Since I have been gone for the weekend, this turned from fantasy to real.
I have been around for a while and seen lots of couples try to take things from fantasy to real relationships, some tried love, and many many have had their feelings hurt in one way or another and lots of times that was over barter items. It rarely works.

What does work, at least for me, is when the fee left is what I ask and I provide the best service I can for that session.... EVERY time. A tip of 5-50 dollars is greatly appreciated but more would make me uncomfortable and the sessions change or will be halted.

I thought the point of having an expensive gift to explain to family or friends was valid. The possibilities of them finding out about her "other" job much higher. Just not worth a rolex to me.

However, since this is now a real chat... I don't like rolexes but an ounce of gold (or several to equal 10,000) would not be pawned and treasured for retirement.

Also,if you're really interested in knowing accurate time,get a Timex. If you wanna impress your friends,get a Rolex.

On another note,Miss DEW,I will NEVER get tired of seeing that awesome avatar. That's so totally HOT!! It's still my favorite picture in the recent contest.

Howdy, Pony!

Couldn't it also mean that someone really likes their favorite tv show? There are any number of reasons one might wear a watch that have nothing to do with what you suggest.

I wouldn't give a provider a Rolex as a gift but maybe as a barter for a few sessions. But then again, what's the guarantee that I'll actually get my end of the bargin consider the horror stories about fellas prepaying and not actually getting their investment's worth...

If you went to see your ATF and she offered you unlimited free sessions for a week you'd take it right? As long as there aren't creepy vibes or strings attached I'd accept the gift, say thanks and move that client to the top of my list when it comes to making appointments and services I provide etc.

Way before the West Coast dude revealed that he himself had gifted Two dollar watch with the 5K logo.....& way before this thread turned into a fluffy lovefest....."you're so sweet"....,"no, you're so sweet"....."she's so pretty"...."no, i think she's WAY prettier than you think so".....etc.

Way before the thread got kinda slimy.....Emily NAILED it.

Hell to the Yes! I love giving gifts.

But given the right circumstances, I most certainly would bestow a gift, such as an extravagant timepiece, upon an ATF.

Those circumstances being (amongst others); naturally, that she holds that special ATF place in my heart.... also that her continued tardiness for our encounters warranted such a drastically grand act.
(Sorry, I've got a warped way of looking at things).



The OP stated that this thread was started to gauge how others might react...

If you want to give a gift, fine. Knock yourself out. I completely agree with Tess though in that a gift should hold some special meaning; regardless of whether it's a simple gift or an extravagant one, the real treasure lies in its meaning and the thought that went into it.

That said, why should it even matter what any of us think? To me, if I extended such a gesture/gave a "gift from the heart" to someone, it would only matter to me what that particular person thought and how they reacted because that gift would be a symbolic, meaningful, token of appreciation, specifically tailored for what the two of us shared.

Viewed in that light, I can understand Jenns stating that this thread could be deemed as nothing more than a shameless pat on the back.

If you're wanting to gauge a provider's reaction of receiving a Rolex as a gift from a client, I have little doubt that some would accept it without question nor hesitation. I'm also sure that given some thought, it would be met with some skepticism and probably weird a lot of them out. The simple reason being that gifts of this nature are rarely given without some sort of strings attached.

Regardless, I'm glad to hear that things clicked between you two crazy kids. That's always a cool thing.


Angelina, you wouldn't happen to have the time, would you?


Regards,
SKF

And Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka! Geez, Tess, I can't believe you left that off your list.

Wow this thread turned awful serious really fast. Btw, my Rosie wears a Timex. And she is my ATF - always there when I need her, never complains, never is too tired, and never any expectations.

To answer the OP's original question, I would assume my client had suddenly mistaken me for a 60 year old wealthy business man who still wears watches in the age of cell phones because it's the only kind of jewelry he can get away with.

Of course I would be thrilled that someone had just handed me something that valuable. And I would pretend to love it because that's the polite thing to do. But I can't imagine anyone knowing ME picking out a gift like that for ME. I'm with Tess that gifts should be meaningful. So if someone got me a Rolex, I would know for sure that they had no concept of who I am. Not that there's anything wrong with that. If my client has a fetish for Rolex-loving babes, I'd be happy to oblige. That's what we get paid for right? Come to think of it... I wonder if there's a porn site for that? BabesInLuxuryWatches.com?

But since the gift actually wasn't hypothetical, and the actual recipient loves it, well that's awesome! I'm so glad you know what makes your lady's heart tick (pun intended). You are both very lucky to have such a wonderful provider/client relationship.

Ouch! Why you gotta pick on us old guys that still wear watches!! Wearing a watch has to be better than the 60 year old guy who still wears the Mr. T starter kit necklace set and wears his shirt so you can see it!!! LOL

[RALPHEY BOY]

I would sell it....

Hey REB, good to hear from you. You've been silent for a while.
