I've seen a few Rolex there. Even Patek- too funny. Wouldn't expect to see them there either. Whatever works for them I guess.

I once mentioned on TZ that I saw a PP at Costco. The PP mod immediately removed the post and PM'ed me saying that if I ever mentioned that again he would ban me for life.

Sadly, Timezone really went downhill after Richard Paige sold it. I haven't been there in many years, I don't think it's a group of enthusiasts anymore. The painful one-upmanship and open dbaggery was bad then, I can't imagine how it is now. I feel sorry for the folks that never saw it in its prime in the 90's.

Viva TRF!

If you ever mention something somewhere I'll ban you for life!

I'm really surprised they carry Patek Philippe though, I've seen some Tag's, IWC's as well as Omega's in my Costco and I heard about some carrying Rolex watches but I never thought they would carry those (although I can't be surprised by Costco after seeing that 250k diamond ring in the Open Discussion Forum). Thank you for sharing!

I believe that Omega won a lawsuit against Costco and they can no longer sell Omega watches.

I've seen Omega's, Cartier's, Brietling's, IWC's at Costco as well.

Some of them aren't the cheap ones either, they had a rose gold and diamond Brietling for Bentley once...

I love costco. It's definitely one of my favorite stores.

The one by me has a +100k diamond ring on display. Hilarious!

I love Costco too. I remember seeing advertisements for a 1M engagement ring they used to have! The quality of there diamond jewlery actually seems relatively good & priced. I've seen Tag, Breitling, IWC, & Cartier's in Costco.

Seen a 50th Anniversary Green Sub, white dial SS Daytona and I bought 2 Speed Masters from Costco. The Green Sub is not my style but I almost bought the Daytona but hesitated and it was gone 2 days later when I went back.
