LV @ BB in Redondo Beach

Saw one in the display window at the BB in the Southbay Galleria if anyone is interested.

i've heard they have 10-11 in their system. Why are they "not as rare" as several years back. Puzzled.

Ben Bridge tends to hold all of thier rarer watches as ransom to entice and tease customers into buying other stuff.

For them to have one openly displayed is unheard of.

Normally they are kept in safes and according to thier sales staff only released to certain customers by authorization from a Ben Bridge Vice president.

Probably just more BB BS.

LVs are all over. 3 ADs near me all have one in the window now. These spots are all within 10 miles outside NYC.

My local BB has had an LV in the display window for several weeks now. Seems BB is changing their policy as far as the LV is concerned.

Might be true to some extent. The BB on Oahu always seems to have one tucked away behind the counter but never in the display case (let alone the WINDOW display case.)

They told me the same story last year when I was looking for my LV. Of course a few days ago I see it on display on the window case from the same BB.
