Then did you order one from the factory through BB&B because you didn't want a display watch, or because they were out? They could have gotten one from one of their other stores. Personally, I don't know about BB&B. When I went in, the guy told me James Bond used to wear the Seamaster Pro MID-SIZE, and now he wears a GMT in the new movie (which caused confusion on my part, recounted in another thread on this forum). When I asked them if I could get one that hadn't been sitting in the case by the window with the sun beating down on it, the guy looked at his supervisor RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and they shared a smirk. "Yeah," he said, still looking at his supervisor, "we'll get you one."

I ran screaming out of the store.
