I live in the South, and I still think it sounds very country bumpkin and ridiculous. I’ve never been to it, but I have a colleague who was told at the one in Memphis supposedly they would sell him a watch for close to grey market value, brand new, so I’ve gotten a shady impression of them.

That being said, they don’t deserve this!

Take the time to read their history. One of my buddies works there and they are a nice store. They have 4 stores so they must be doing something right.

"Sissy" is common term for sister in the South. Sorry to hear these folks got hit, it's a shame. We need to re-establish law and order in this country.

If in fact those are dummy movements, the robbers can send the watches to the RSC for repair, they should still be under warranty.

Interesting as understood that is not the case with every display only piece.

at that name

Unfortunate event, but seriously, that's a good name for a Daycare not a purveyor of luxury goods.

See, I thought the same… but it was the “Log Cabin” part that seemed out of place for a Rolex AD .

“Sissy’s log cabin” sounds like a bad strip club in the south…
