Guy must have known his watches. I would have never known, and it's not obnoxiously blingy. I had to do a little investigative research using the photo's URL, since I know next to nothing about watches, but I realize now you could probably trade it for a Campy equipped Merckx or De Rosa.

This reminds me of that Cosby episode where they are buying a car and Cosby dresses down but is outted by a patient of his, played by Gilbert Gottfried:

#1: Diesel Nissan pickup truck with rust.
#2: Watch from K-Mart
#3: Clothes from Sears, and if you're lucky, the trousers won't tear the first time you sit on them.
#4: Light a stoogie in their face if they try to give you the business.

Not much happening in my neck of the woods either Jim...at least on Craigslist.
It never occurred to me that what I wear could effect haggling. I've always seen it as they'll either accept my price or they won't. Thankfully I almost always look like a dirty bum.
