How do they screen the flippers out, once word gets out, they do this?

They are not putting out Daytonas. There are plenty of Rolexes that don't have a mark up in secondary or very minimal after taxes.

All,

I just wanted to post a reply and share feedback from trip. Short version of the story, NO Explorer I for me yet. That said, based on your feedback and my own experience it was expected. So, no tears

I walked a lot, visited many stores, city landmarks, talked to a lot of people and had lots, lots of fun.

One thing for those visiting or locals looking for something, stop by Watches of Switzerland on 20 Hudson. They were really nice and told me that “walk in’s” do exist. They typically get something on Wed/Thu. The manager shares what it is with the staff and it is ready for whoever wants it. They will not hold anything, if they have something you like you will need to run to the store. I called on Wed but didn’t have anything yet. Unfortunately, I was leaving on Thursday

BTW, in general I was treated very nice at all the ADs. I was direct with my goal and intentions at the store with all of them.

Good luck to those visiting NNYC in the near future … fun town for a few days
