Not one sport model.

Went to Willow mall on 1960 today in Spring Texas. Not one sport model in the display case.

assume that you meant Willowbrook Mall on FM1960 and Hwy 249. Mimi Davis is the store manager at Ben Bridge Jewelers. They usually have a good selection of sport watches but they are usually in display cases up on the wall at the back of the store.

I went to an AD on Friday in Boston (Prudential shopping center). I was told they have close to 400 in their inventory! Needless to say I was drooling over several models. I did mange to try on the white gold BLRO GMT. It looks amazing in person!

Same with Sidney Thomas in the Chestnut Hill mall, they have some pretty pieces in stock including the BLRO! Such an amazing piece!

I think plenty of AD's leave the good stuff in the safe to distract punters fingering/scratching the merchandise or for the NON Personal shopper who back their 4x4 through the window for a smash and grab. Cant say I would be putting good stuff in the window. Our Australian AD's seem to have plenty of stock and are selling plenty as well. The decline of the $A vs the USA is keeping us shoppers at home, we are currently a cheap place to buy Rolex.

There have been a lot of smash and grabs. This could be a major contributing factor
