Right next to the laptop section......Makes sense!! LOL.

Maybe it would be slightly less annoying if at least the product placement made sense??

Then again, I guess Costco's goal is to class up their salad spinners, not to move PP's....LOL.

That really is unbelievable. Hmmm 36 rolls of toilet paper, a jumbo sized bag of tortilla chips and a Patek.

Although I've seen Tag & Omega @ my local Costco, haven't seen Rolex yet.

I guess Costcos in Canada had Rolex for sale;

I can live with that. Its a pretty horrid looking watch as far as Patek's go.

Now if it'd been one of their chronographs or dress watches, I think I'd have cried!

Can hear it now... "Of course it's real, I bought it at Costco!" DOH!

Kinda cool though, if the prices really are better and you're in the market for what they're selling, it's kinda like a discount without asking...

Who did costco expect to sell it to? I just cant imagine a watch collector going into costco to get a patek. a 30K impulse buy?

You could buy that Patek, keep it for 2 years until you're sick of it and they'll take it back with your receipt.

Silly question, would a Costco that sells Rolex be classified an AD?
