our costco (omaha) has a $33k breitling and a $25k patek in its case, in addition to a ladies cartier tank watch. there was another breitling, but it sold, apparently. it also sells tag heuer, oris and did sell omega. i saw a seamaster there last year.

here's a pic i snapped of the patek:

Imagine the "special service experience" while plunking down $33k for a Patek at COSTCO! Can I get a slice of pizza with that and some free meatballs they are cooking up in aisle 3????

i just think it would be funny to roll up to the cashier with a month's supply of diapers, a giant bag of chips, and a swiss watch that costs as much as a new car.

Just make sure you show up on the weekend, The watch comes with free food and drinks!!!! Make sure you pay with American Express. At the end of the year, you will get Costco rebate check plus 1% rebate from A.E.

Unfortunately, most Rolex models at the Costcos that I've seen are not that desirable. You're not running into SS Daytonas there.

Haven't seen ang Omegas at my local Costco buy I did see them for sale on AAFES Online. They were having a Mothers Day Sale and I found a brand new Moon Watch for $2058. I passed and now I'm kicking my own butt! Price went up to $2700 this week!

I'd rather negotiate 30% off at an AD I can build a relationship with vs a guaranteed 35% and have $8/hour sally open a case for me. What are you supposed to do with it, go to an AD to get it sized if you don't have tools?

Spend $12 on a bracelet tool.

I doubt that many dealers will give you a 30% discount on a popular model. Some grey market prices are better than 35% off too.
