Is there a way to check out a serial number before you buy to see if it is stolen?? Will RSC tell you if you call them with the number?
It would really suck if you bought a used watch and had it for several years and decide to send it in for service and never get it back.

I'm starting to be really leary of e-bay, or as my wife calls it "fence-bay", you just never know what you are buying.

Sad but true, you really have to be careful of what you buy on ebay.

Actually in the video from the Broward mall a gun is brandished by one of the thugs so it is ARMED ROBERY.

Im my state and I suspect FL as well that means deadly force can be used to stop the perps. Sad that it was not; but I'd be Mayor's has a policy against it's employees protecting themselves which is likely why the are the target more frequently than independent stores.
