new & improved osteopath Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 So yesterday was a glorious day in Philadelphia, so my wife and I went into center city- and wound up on South Street- grabbed a felafel, and did some window shopping. I came across a shop which had, in it's window mind you, about 2 dozen reps- and I am not talking about Canal St rubbish- but the higher end stuff (Including the Santos 100 chrono I just got WITH the Swiss movement). I needed to go in to see what was up- and in the shop he had no less than 50 or 60 higher end reps- new Ferrari, Pan, etc... The gentleman in the store was kind of coy about the origin of the watches, and it was clear he was not representing them as gen- at least not to me. His prices were bordering on absurd (1600 for the Cartier), but there was one good aspect- I was able to look at some of the purchases I had been considering first hand- which was a new experience for me. I got to hold a new rep Big Bang for instance. Now I don't see how this shop is going to survive- but what a blast it was to be able to look at all of the Reps I see posted here without having to buy first-regret later. PLEASE do not ask me for the address- I don't want to cause this guy any trouble. You have an idea where it is if you want to look. Hope you are all having a good weekend. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Very interesting. Let us know how long he lasts. He can probably set up shop for a month, make a killing and move on. Maybe he has local protection from the law? Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
