Sounds like you found a salesman that didn't know what the fuck he was talking about.
Yep. Was he talking about another brand?
Sinn??

Regardless, I don't know what it means to have "popped" a watch. Why would this (whatever it is) happen when the wearer is adjusting the time? Is the airplane relevant? I don't know what "on the ground yet after landing" means. If you're on the ground, wouldn't that automatically mean you've landed? Also, I have no idea why the salesman would have lost the watch when his company stopped carrying it. Coincidence? What does one have to do with another?
I am puzzled (and obviously a bit punchy).

Maybe he misheard and the guy "pooped" a watch. If that's the case, I can understand why he was butt hurt about it.

That's a rough way to carry an extra watch.

Ah ah!
The whole story didn't make sense to me either
Either way I'm pretty sure the oiled filled watch wasn't a Bremont

It does solve the problem of having to take off your watch when going through airport security.
