Not sure why they weren’t shot in the store.

They were working for the owner (insurance scam).

“The demographic will most likely be caught when posting photos of them wearing the watches on Facebook”

LOL — You may be right. What good is bling if you can’t flash it!

“*I think it was called Best Products.”

Best Products it was! At least here in Virginia. They were headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. Several chains used that business model throughout the US. Not sure if any have survived.

Best Products...

“Lamborghini go for 2 - 300k and go up from there”

So maybe it was “buy a high end Rolex and get a free Lambo?”

“They would just walk in in broad daylight and run out with the merch.”

Called Tuesday at the Lynchburg, Virginia Wal-Mart.
One guy in town is called TV.
You need a new laptop, TV, whatever?
Get in touch with TV, tell him what you want and how much you’ll pay.
He’s been known to quietly amble out of the store with a 50 inch flat screen.
Only steals on Tuesdays.
Never been arrested.

This sounds like insurance fraud scheme.

Thank you. They may have not survived, but the business model will be revived with a tweak or two.

I wore many varieties of Timex myself...winding, self-winding, electronic. As long as they were cheap. Maybe even had a few Casios. I don’t wear wristwatches anymore...probably gradually quit wearing them after carrying a cellphone.

I remember using the store in Lynchburg, Virginia. Memories of better days.
I remember seeing the store noted in the Wiki article as having the “peeling” wall. It was a real eye catcher.

In our eastern Tennessee area, we had this exact store setup, going under the business name of Service Merchandise.
