I don't mind the practice
I think it is correct the practice is largely here in Asia; certainly in KL and Manila where I have lived versus my USA home.
The upside is the stock I see here is pristine. I can't say that is always the case elsewhere.
Further, the salesperson is usually very agreeable to unwrapping the piece once you ask to look at it.
This was a UN boutique with hundreds of watches. I suspect directly owned? Even then it seems scratched pieces would be costly.

What a fabulous day...
This week here in Kuala Lumpur, the Starhill Gallery shopping area opened up their annual Journey through Time exhibit for 10 days. I missed it last year, and couldn't wait until the weekend, so I ran over at lunch. I've lived all over the World and find ...
Pretty heavy...in a good way.
Quite a bit of gold there, but a nice feel. I was wearing my Gold Duometre and it was heavier than that. I should have put the two of them next to each other for perspective.
La Creme de la Creme, my friend.
Superb selection. I'm still waiting to see in the flesh the Moonstruck... I saw it very shortly at the Salon des Belles Montres, but wasn't able to spend some time to admire and analyze it. You have here one of the nicest and finest choice among UN watche...
Hate the plastic wrapping
ive seen this plastic wrapping a lot in east asian countries like South Korea, China, Malaysia and Singapore and dread it. Looks cheap and takes away from the watch. Each store should have a valid demo unit for you to test/feel. Lovely watches though and ...
I can understand you, but ...
... having a demo unit that is free to be scratched and blemished, is not really an option in this kind of business. First, the shop has to pay in advance for all the goodies, and it really makes a difference if you take one or two 100,000 Euros watches i...

They can easily support a showroom model.
Having a demo piece is an option. Even Porsche showrooms have demo units (the twin turbo models too). Sure, if its a very limited edition peice than I can understand but wrapping submariners and GMt iiCs and everything in the store is not logic. In this a...
Wonderful! Great to see a shop having so many of the fine pieces in stock ...
... it is normally difficult to see more than two, or three of the highlights in one shop. The Moonstruck is indeed a marvel! Regards, Marcus
