Is there any reason you don't carry Movado and Tag (and how about Breitling?)?

I ask because those are generally what I look into, design and price-wise.

While Movado is more of a fashion thing without much horological merits, TAG is actually a good brand for the money which we do order for clients on a special order basis but we do not stock. It is strictly a business decision as we often work on a % based margin and we try to keep brands of $5,000 and up. The revenue from low priced brands simply does not allow us to operate on the level we do. Same reason a Mercedes dealer who takes a Toyota in trade will wholesale the car and not put it on the showroom floor. We are known as a high end watch dealer and we keep certain brands in stock. Hope that clarifies it somewhat.

And Rolex doesn't know you bought it from an unauthorized dealer.....

But I agree with you. It's not an issue as long as the customer knows what he is and is not buying.

I have no idea what Horological merits my Movado is lacking, but I do know it looks great and has kept perfect time since I bought it in 2001.

It is a fashion brand just like Guess or Gucci watches and if the look appeals to you then it does look it is just not regarded as a high end watch brand within the industry, that's all. Most Movados are quartz and should keep perfect time as they run on a battery. Wear it in great health.

I bought one of my Breitlings from a watch store in NYC that isn't a Breitling dealer. It was brand new and had a warranty card stamped by an authorized dealer in the US without a date of purchase (which this guy filled in when I bought it). I had no problems with the watch during the warranty period but when it came to being serviced, Breitling never questioned where I bought it.

I've not read a lot of the responses, but The watch collector has been selling Rolexs and other watches on sites I frequent for a long time.

Just another forum, but I've seen your adds on WUS for quite a while now.

No idea why people are attacking you here. Good luck w/ every thing. Big WIS here

Thank you, nice to meet you. Yes, Mike posts on WUS for many years. I used to post there about 6 years ago before they changed the format. We are a sponsor also on Watchnet and post on TZ as well (both are owned by a friend of mine).

Always nice seeing a WIS around. We have a large client base down in TX.

Not sure service is an issue versus warranty service. But again, I think it's fine, and probably worth the savings, as long as you the buyer understand that you are buying a watch where the warranty is officially voided.
