I remember seeing an SS Daytona at Costco around the same time period. Were you at the West Plano location?

Yes sir, that's exactly where it was. Still a little upset that I didn't buy it back then since it was still stickered but who could have known...

Bought a Seamaster years back, no issues whatsoever. They lack of Omega warranty (not a concern)

In Manila today. Went to AD in Makati and they actually had a pieces for sale. Some 36 DJ TT w diamonds. Some 31’s the same.

Better than anywhere else I have seen recently, where even crap 28’s are exhibition only.

The Rolex models at Costco sold fast, they’re already off the website.

A Costco near me had a platinum president for years back in 2017.

Well they were around MSRP and plenty of people have a costco account. Well known 'grey dealer' in that respect, good return policy. Watches are the same thing as from AD. Can use your credit card, no need to wire money.

However I can't imagine these pieces are top sellers even today. The little diamonds on the bezel have always looked a little odd IMO... but who knows

FWIW these are in line with MSRP, the one on the left for example lists for $15.2k

Nothing in Men's watches except for some crummy old Omega's.

I always see similar models rotated here in Sydney. Have sat there for what feels like 1-2 years now.

I don't belong to any warehouse clubs, but 15 years or so ago my parents had a Sam's Club membership and I remember seeing Omegas and Tags and the occasional Rolex.

Always wondered how they got these? Anybody know?

I've also seen Rolexes at a chain jeweler, maybe Kay? I asked and was told that they mostly come from estate sales and that they service them and only put them in their "best" locations. This was in a huge mall in North Carolina, Charlotte I think. Killing time waiting for a plane.

I’m in Canada, unfortunately Costco doesn’t have carry Rolex. I do remember quite a few years ago that there might be one every so often, and I bought an Omega once, but nothing like that or Rolex in a long time.
