I was in Dubai in May just gone. I was wearing a Bell & Ross watch as I dont tend to wear expensive watches when I go away, wandered into the RM boutique and no one even bothered to speak to me, had my 2 yr old son & wife with me too. I pretty much felt like they had judged me immediatley as a 'tyre kicker' so didnt bother with me. Having said that they were eyeing me suspiciously, I felt like a shoplifter!. Felt like telling them 'actually I do own an RM002/RM10 & RM11, but couldnt be bothered, worse reception ive received ever in a 'posh' watch shop.
Very dissapointing as I was really looking forward to going to the boutique and was even going to treat myself to a new strap, but no way was a spending a bean in there!
