Another Las Vegas Trip
I recently got back from a much needed vacation from southern Nevada so of course I had to check out the boutiques and stores around the strip while on the trip. I checked out all the Rolex boutiques and some stores that sell other brands. The trend was that there were more professional references on display than the last time I was there two years ago. I started at my favorite boutique to say hello to the manager who sold me my LV Submariner on my previous trip. I met a new saleswoman to work with since my previous one had left the boutique. I wanted to confirm that the reference I requested last year was still in the system and it was. We chatted for a while about watches and other stuff. I added my a couple new references to my list. We’ll see what happens. I tried on a BLNR on jubilee since I haven’t tried on a jubilee bracelet. I liked the five link bracelet on the wrist. It felt comfortable. I got to see a GMT GRNR in person. It was ok, but I’ll stick with my LN GMT instead.
The other two Rolex stores in the Forum shops had pretty much the same stock. I looked at Tudor to check out a black bay 54. I liked it but seemed too small at 37mm. The store at Bellagio has temporarily moved from its previous location. I checked out the Black bay with the burgundy dial on jubilee and really liked it. I just have difficulty with the snowflake hour hand. I just don’t like it. The watches of Switzerland at the Wynn boutique was a pleasant experience. There was a deep blue sea dweller deep sea on display. I’ve never seen this one before in person. So I was excited because I love that dial. I also tried on a white dial sky dweller. I liked, I thought it would have been too large, but it fit well on the wrist. Then I got to see a 126500LN black dial. Very exciting moment because I’ve never seen a steel Daytona. I tried it on and it was perfect. I like the 126 Daytonas so to see one was a highlight. The saleswoman was great to work with. I checked out some other stores in the Venetian shops and saw an IWC pilot watch that I really liked, but didn’t pull the trigger. But very pleasant staff in all of those stores and nice to see timepieces from different brands in person. I ran into the salesman that sold me my first Rolex. He’s at a different store now. A good experience looking and browsing through the stores on the strip. As usual I saw a bunch of nice watches in the wild there, stuck up some conservations with strangers over their watches. I got compliments on my LV Submariner. Always a fun place to visit.

I'm heading out there in August. Really hope the Chinese SA from the Time Dome is still there and will again say "na fo sale" every time she hands me a Rolex, even though I told her at the VERY BEGINNING that I had no expectation they would sell me a Rolex.
Watch shopping in Vegas is not as fun as it used to be, sadly. |

I recommend DavidSW if you are in the Orlando area. Staff is super friendly and they have all references. Literally. Ah let me see the Lemans Daytona. No problem out it comes!

The SAs at Tudor, Panerai, Breitling all had cases full of watches to walk out with, WOS even had several Pateks ready for immediate sale. I do enjoy all the shops’ proximity to each other. South Coast Mall, Beverly Hills, and 5th/Madison Aves in NYC are similar. |

I would have loved to see that one, but it’ wasn’t out on the floor. They had the 126500LN with the black dial. I did see a 126508LN white dial on oyster flex at Bucher in the forum shops.

It was a fun experience. Great to see some references in person that I’ve never seen before.
