That's fine, but if they don't want to offer it for sale, they should not display it, or put a "sold" sign next to it.

It's not like the RG YM is a rare watch, I've seen several in jeweler's windows, some for weeks at a time.

Exactly! Must do wonders for their turnover!

This makes me wonder why they didn't call security to escort my wife out of the store when she went to buy my lowly Sub as an anniversary gift in Waikiki. She was running chores associated with buying our house in Kailua, and didn't have the time to dress up for just one of several errands. So she goes in in faded, torn jeans, and a ratty work shirt. Appears as if the Platinum AmEx was all the identification they cared about.

Perhaps the OP should forward this thread to the know-it-all AD.

This happened to me before I bought my BLNR. Local AD said the same thing. I kinda just laughed. They said reason cause it's so popular. So if it's so popular why do you have it for sale? Sales person stumbled a little not knowing how to answer then said it just came in yesterday and will be sold by the end of the week. It was still in the case a month later.
