I know my local tourneau had some but at a very limited quantity. The rep there told me they sold them out pretty fast since their inventory is more limited with the RESERVE's. How much were they going for Foggy? And what was your impression of the Sea Vulture? I have always been tempted by that model.

Highly doubtful you will ever see RENATO in Retail anytime soon.

Were the prices closer to MSRP or closer to what you find on the web and TV?:confused1:

I see Invctas at TJ Maxx all the time, never retail price, but usually the less desirable models.

I checked their counter last night, and the Invictas they had were all junk, but there were a few nice Lucien Picards that caught my eye.

I'll have to check the mall shops here in St. Louis to see if they're stocking any yellow bricks.

@ ariel-The Sea Vulture was very nice looking (the one I saw was the Unitas version w/gray dial and rubber strap)) but even w/ a 20% discount a bit higher than I would be willing to pay.




@ timebender-the selling prices were in line with non brick and mortar sellers.
I was under the impression that this was a somewhat exclusive line and not available at retail.

Yes, I was under the impression that the Reserve was reserved for tv shoppers.
but maybe that was just for it's introduction

I dont ever recall though Eyal or Jim ever saying that it was only exclusive to the TV network. I think this only applies to Renato..

The Reserve collection is not a tv exclusive from what I recall. But I don't think you'll see them at all Invicta retailers for a while, if ever.

Well there aren't that many and I didn't see these at Tourneau..

a portent of things to come???

I would think only the biggest sellers would get a crack at them and you do want to make them scarce to increase demand and maintain the Reserve line.
