They closed the one in Dallas about a year ago. I often wondered how these high end boutiques stay in business with the high rent they pay in this joint. I walked into the Tourbillion Boutique one year and one year later the salesman recognized me. Nobody is ever in most of these stores. I think they aren’t interested in selling, or at least that’s not their main goal. Their goal is brand awareness, and get to get you to want one. At the end of the day, they don’t care where you buy from. The boutique sales are a drop in their bucket.

Just came back from Traditional Jewelers which is now Hyde Park Jewelers. Rolex display is bare, nothing there.Tudor had full display. I think one of the forum members wants a Tudor GMT which they have on display. Full display of Omega. A very few Patek Philippe which is normal. Hardly any Audemars Piguet. Go figure.

Strange to see the gmt in the display case, but perhaps the newness wore off.

I just got back from South Coast Plaza. The manager of the Rolex AD told me Baron & Leeds and Tourneau was taken over by Bucherer. Sears is folding up after many years at South Coast Plaza. It's kind of sad that it's gone belly up, but time marches on.
