The black bay with steel bezel is so nice.

I did don't even know it existed. Wow.

I did not. They usually have some nice stuff. I'll probably pop in there this week

Hate that an AD lets people wear already purchased watches.

And almost endless strap possibilities with that watch as well.

It depends on the relationship with the AD. I would like to think that my AD would let me look at anything, in a controlled environment like their VIP room over a padded tabletop. But the stickers being off is a bit odd and I would not take pictures of someone else's watch.

A friend of mine had his bronze BB come in and I happen to stop by before he picked it up. They let me look at it, we just wore gloves. He, like I, cared less. It's a watch for pete sake, not an item out of the national archives. If someone on the list got their panties in a wad and would not take it because it wasn't sealed or in the shipping container blah, blah, blah then so be it, call the next guy. He may be just like me and will take whatever one he can get.

If an AD lets you try on a watch that is waiting for its new owner to collect, it's probably best for both parties to not name that AD on TRF. Better not to show the serial number too.

"Already spoken for" to me means it has an owner. My bad.
