I never understood this as they cant exactly get any real value for them due to them now being on the register, more money would prob be obtained by breaking down for parts.
Apparently a number of Rolex watches were stolen from the Exeter High Street branch of EJ at 9:00 this morning. One member of staff was injured and police are looking for three men.

... Which explains why, when I went in to make a semi impulse purchase of a submariner they had absolutely nothing in stock other than a deep sea diver. I then thought about an omega po but nothing was available. The surprising bit was that there was no offer of getting one in and they only seemed to have 2011-2012 catalogues. Do people think that they get worse service wearing jeans with toddler in tow or was that just my misconception?
I actually get better service with either of my daughters or both. I had the eldest with me the other day to buy a watch for her and the sales people could not have been any nicer to her.
When I bought my Sub, the shop had two people entertaining my kids. ;) I even have a drawing made by one of the shop assistants!
As a follow-up to the Exeter "Ernest Jones" robbery, the perpetrators were jailed today - but the watches have never been found.
