seems like many of the major brands are going the 'boutique' route.

cutting competition typically doesn't bode well for the consumer

Stores will still have sales targets, they won't be able to sit there selling nothing.
So if everyone walking into the boutique doesn't pay their RRP, all good!

We're screwed.......

I do not believe that even the Apollo group behind the Watches of Switzerland group wish to carry on with volume of retail locations they have, especially when they have to carry so much of their capital in stock.

My view is that the independent will certainly survive in the UK but the prime locations of major cities will move to bigger boutique type stores discounts may well be harder to source but on higher pieces a deal will always be available.

Interesting to see the next few years ahead with Rolex......

my local ad had a major refurb last year. this particular shop sells a few swiss brands. but now pretty much all the shop is dedicated to rolex.

For his sake, i hope he doesnt lose his AD status to a strategic boutique location in the neighborhood...it happens a lot and it happens to nice people with small business', sometimes regardless of their financial commitment or customer satisfaction...imho its not right, but you cant stop the juggernaut.

The positive side is places like goldsmiths won't carry the brand so it's not that bad
