High end watch shops?

I haven't done them.... They have "qualifications" that you must meet. I failed because I don't use enough luxury brand items.... I have to wonder how many folks mystery shop who wear $10,000 watches.....

Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.

Thanks! Guess I missed the qualifications section.

Same here... I don't use any luxury brands, and my dream car is a Subaru WRX, lol...
I did a couple of easy luxury brand watch shops for ipsos back in April. I did have to 'pre-qualify', but nothing too crazy.

There are several MSCs currently doing high end watch shops.
They do require a full narrative but are pretty straight forward from a reporting perspective.
I have done a bunch of these and even bought two watches based on my shops. I use the shops to do research for my purchases.

I did one. The shop and report were easy. My mistake was providing real contact info that the retailer has used to badger me with follow-up texts.
I did one and it was reasonable for the pay. I went home with a Rolex book!
And just like dust, I will rise.

You have more self control than I. I went home with the Rolex
I have one michele watch that I got as a birthday gift from my parents. I don't think I'd ever pay for one myself.
They will waive the high-end brand ownership requirement when they realize they won't be able to find such a person. I've done them, and they are very simple. They sound intimidating, but it wasn't bad at all.

Cool, maybe I'll give it a shot. I don't even use a watch, much less own a super expensive one, because my phone has this super secret special tell time and date feature that I use instead.
Nimi, welcome to the forum. Kathy G mentioned one of the companies in the post above. But if you sign on with lots of companies, you'll find others.
I used to do them up till this year,, and can "play" the part. Having had a sister that worked for Saks fifth Ave for 40 years in Couture, yes, I am comfortable in high end places, but no, i don't have a 10,000 watch, and if I was still driving the freeway and not retiring, i'm always happy to do them.

I filled out the requirement sheet and passed but have yet to do one of these shops. Generally I do not shop the brands listed in the check off list but since I have mystery shopped/purchased at some of them I was able to check yes without lying about it.
I did this shop only once. I got approval from the MSC to use a scenario I made up in order to sound realistic. I told the sales associate that my brother, an airline pilot was celebrating 20 years with Brand X airlines. I said my 2 sisters and I were going in on the cost together. That seemed more believable. I got an excellent grade on the report, plus it was highly bonused.
