I did some window shopping. I wasn't going to waste anyone's time, as I'm not buying. But I saw the ceramic Daytona, and figured I'd say hello.

Never have I been treated with such destain. And before the naysayers jump in, I am completely ok with it. I tell this point, only to give back up to my upcoming question. I actually laughed at the snobbery. And considering my pending meeting, I'm dressed in my Sunday best. Truly, it was a funny moment for me. And being a sales guy myself, I tend to talk to everyone. I've been doing it since I was a kid.

Ok, the background is set.

As I'm waiting, I just watch all the happenings. Tons of dudes with outrageous bling. Super hot women working the booths. Hundreds of thousands in stock.

No customers?

My question, is it really that lucrative, the jewelry business? This place seems to have a shady rep. But they are all appearing to be super loaded.

Am I missing something?

Sounds like my kind of place! Can't beat snobby AND shady..

You won't find them there. They moved to 55th street. I think any business close to 56th/5th is trying to get out of their lease.
