Secret Service Store in WDC
In Response To: Let me correct myself... ()

These watches, with the Secret Service logo on the dial, are sold only through the employee store, at Secret Service headquarters in Washington, DC. Profits from the store go to a charity for the benefit of Agent's families (or families of former Agents) who are in need.

The store manager tells me that she "knows her customers" . . . primarily Secret Service Agents, plus the occasional visiting dignitary. So when they occasionally get flipped on eBay, someone has broken an (unspoken) promise to the store manager, etc.
