One of the AD's I frequent back in NC has been telling me for about 9 months that Finley (Carlyle & Co what the AD we were discussing) would be going south. Apparently they were on a cash-only basis with their suppliers, and have been so for a while.
So goes the economy, huh?

Yep! One of the regional supervisors who works out of my town had lost his job a few months ago, just prior to this end. He thought he was invincible!

Interesting -
When I was looking for my Sub I stopped in at Carlyle to see if they had one in stock. The saleslady (not terribly friendly) told me that not only did they not have the watch, they wouldn't be willing to bring it in for me. Guess it makes sense now... |

There Panama City, FL. store began clearing stock in order to be closed a couple of months ago. Their Rolex stock was returned to RUSA, I am told.

They were doing 40% - 60% off all merchandise, less Rolexes. They sent the Rolexes back to RUSA.
