Yes, these are real. Both Tiffany and Neiman-Marcus were always very high-end stores, and Time Computer welcomed the exclusive association with its products. Done in special short [limited edition] runs, watches with the custom crystals were earmarked for sale specifically in the indicated store. Specially-marked crystals can be found on many Pulsars , including the P2, Date/Command, Executive, Big Time, and Ladies' Cushion and Oval models. Watches with unblemished crystals are especially prized. Many models were available in both stainless and goldfilled versions, so the T and NM logos are appropriately in white or yellow lettering. No records have been found to indicate the actual numbers produced, but, based on their frequency of appearance, compared to the standard ones, it seems unlikely they represent more than 5% or so of the total production.
