Sorry, just had to rub it in for my friends back in the States.

Finally had a chance to get out this afternoon and do some watch window shopping. Found a couple Rolex AD's close by and they sell Tudors here!!!!!

Had a chance to try on an Hydro. I loved it.

It's a monster. The AD's are offering 10 to 15% off without asking and no sales tax on all Rolex and Tudors! Unfortunately I'm coming home with the same number of oysters I arrived with.

Been enjoying Balashi Beer, Cohibas, and some great food.
More to come when I get the time.

AWESOME Dan!!! Have a great rest of your trip. If you get a chance, snorkel/dive the Antilla (wreck). Really a great deal of fun.

Thanks for the pics, and PLEASE POST MORE!!! It is so COLD here.

BTW, I REALLY don't like that Tudor. Unfortunately, they have taken to the "FAD" watches with that one.

JMHO though

brady · 11 February 2010, 08:49 AM

Nice! I love the reflection of you and your wife (I assume) by your side. Isn't it great that they put up with our obsession? I mean, who besides us takes pictures of a watch store?

bodybump · 11 February 2010, 08:51 AM

Wow Dan thats awesome!!! More pics please!!!

Hatchet · 11 February 2010, 09:40 AM

Hey Dan! How;s it going. I've been lurking, but I'm back. If one of those Cohibas made its way into your luggage by accident and down to Mississsippi--welll....

JUSTROLEXES · 11 February 2010, 09:45 AM

Luck you Dan...have Fun and send more pics..

ersnyder · 11 February 2010, 09:48 AM

Great shots Dan. I think the Tudor is pretty cool. Enjoy your vacation!

Mike B · 11 February 2010, 09:53 AM

Dan, it looks like your having a great time !
Hope you guys have a safe trip back to the States !

RolexPete · 11 February 2010, 09:56 AM

Dan:

I will be in Aruba Friday with the wife and kids. When are you leaving?

theken · 11 February 2010, 10:19 AM

Great post, Dan.

Unfortunately, you will return home to some very nasty weather.

Hope to see you next week to plan the GTG in April.
Cheers, Mark

HL65 · 11 February 2010, 10:50 AM

Lucky man!!! Enjoy--that is one monster too!!

1000ftSub · 11 February 2010, 11:03 AM

Thanks for posting i love the Tudor myself!

toph · 11 February 2010, 11:19 AM

great pics Dan, hope you had a great time

MilgaussMan · 11 February 2010, 11:32 AM

Dan, I'm very envious! That seems to be a huge departure from the local weather!

I'd love to attend the GTG (Keeneland has taken some cash from me the past few times!

) I'll let you know for sure if I can attend.

KJM11379 · 11 February 2010, 11:50 AM

where were you staying? we have a family time share at the Marriott. What a great island....

kcmo · 11 February 2010, 11:59 AM

Great pics, Dan!

Hope you're able to have some R&R

Dan Pierce · 11 February 2010, 09:56 PM

Thanks everyone.

Hope to post more pics soon. Got a busy day of fun instead of work today.

Wife & I stayed at the Renaissance when we visited Aruba, nice place! I highly recommend you schedule the couples sunset massage & take the boat ride out to Renaissance Island. After you both get awesome massages (avoid the deep tissue, lol) the ladies will leave & you'll have a very romantic, secluded & private lagoon to yourselves for an hour or so. Think Gilligan's Island type hut/deck (comfortably furnished) that's right on the beach with waves coming in around you. The only entrance to the area is lockable from the inside so no worries of surprising visitors.

JediRolex · 11 February 2010, 11:56 AM

Please blow a smoke ring for me with that Cohiba!

JBat · 11 February 2010, 12:00 PM

Looks like fun, Dan!

Joey_V · 11 February 2010, 12:02 PM

Prince · 12 February 2010, 08:18 AM

Hey Dan! Thanks for the pics and update.

That Hydro looks HUGE!!! It also looks like the lume is awesome as well. Are you gonna spring for one at a later date??

rfknauss · 11 February 2010, 12:32 PM

Hi Dan, you certainly are having more fun than I am. We got about 2 feet of snow here in Macungie, PA and I was out with the snowblower a good portion of the day!
Glad you are having a great time.

jdc · 13 February 2010, 12:43 AM

CPTL · 11 February 2010, 10:38 PM

Outstanding pics Dan.

Don't worry I'm keeping it nice and cold and snowy back here for you.

axjimenez · 11 February 2010, 11:31 PM

Boy that weather beats the 2 plus feet of snow on the ground here!!!! will be there in May for a week though!
