Some quick store front shots for the watch lover in you!

Gotta love South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA. High end brands, each having their own shop. Passing through this area, we usually stop at this mall and get our fix of being close to millions and millions dollars of luxury.

Thought some of you watch enthusiasts might enjoy seeing these quick cell phone shots. ( sorry I was as passing through with my wife and kids, couldn't spend too much time capturing more shots of displays etc. ) also there were a couple more that I missed.

Please feel free to join in with your shots of store fronts in your neck of the woods

Not the storefront, but the sign of my now moribund AD, Beauchamp Jewelers.

May they RIP. Mine went the same way of the dinosaur a few years back. Seems Rolex only wants larger boutique settings now.

I still have a small family owned Rolex AD/jeweler. Hope they can hold out. The remodels seem to be getting exponentially more high end and expensive. Think they do that to try to drive out some of the smaller guys. Much like Ford did with "Blue Oval" program years ago.

Thanks. Glad you all enjoyed the pictures.

The mall is definitely a great mall, we enjoy browsing through and window shopping there a lot, so when we are passing by, we definitely stop by for a few hours. It usually translates to a major purchase of some sort, but not this time (very busy mall this time of the year).

teqp, i did not make it to A Lange & Sohne store. Didn't see it frankly. Must have missed it.

Local to us, Gleim the Jeweler in Stanford shopping mall does not carry new Rolexes anymore as Rolex is opening its own boutique there, so I was told by the Gleim sales people.

I have missed feelings about this. I like going to a store with a bigger selection, but also liked the small selection next to other brands and jewelry items.
