never pay attention....... for sure check it out next time

Never been to a Costco, but isn't this a sort of a Walmart? Or am I mistaken?

What's the point of having "random" high ticket items?

MikeJaye · 13 January 2012, 05:42 PM

I've seen Pams and AP's at a UK Costco too.

If you ever mention something somewhere I'll ban you for life!

I'm really surprised they carry Patek Philippe though, I've seen some Tag's, IWC's as well as Omega's in my Costco and I heard about some carrying Rolex watches but I never thought they would carry those (although I can't be surprised by Costco after seeing that 250k diamond ring in the Open Discussion Forum). Thank you for sharing!

Sounds like a dick mod.

Viva TRF!

Agree Doc, it was a real nice place back then.

The icing on the cake was when they decided we couldn't post GTG's anymore.

As you might know we did a massive exodus after the NY GTG and a lot of us ended up here.

Par for the course.

Wow, that is a new low for TZ.

Wow these are some nice Costcos! I have seen Tags and the occasional Breitling. But I think I'd be very surprised if I saw IWC, PP, or PAMs in the display case. Their prices are good--lower than retail, but I haven't found them to be incredibly, jaw-droppingly low.

The best thing about Costco is that return policy though...perfect for those who might get buyers' remorse.

millmax · 15 January 2012, 07:02 AM

Just started getting cartier in our local costco in Chester UK Quite a few Breitlings also, only ever see Rolex in there now and again.

Anna Tessa · 16 January 2012, 04:08 PM

this is crazy, never heard of this. would love to know the price differences. Part of the whole experience is going into the watch boutique to buy one, not just throwing running it through the cashier with a bunch of frozen food, socks, etc... unless the price was right?
