Just back, missed this site

Hi all. Just wanted to say just got back from Cancun, yeah great place. Didnt bring the tt blue though and missed her. Checked out Playa Del Carmen Ultrajewels at the shopping area. Several all gold blue subs,platty yachts,tt daytonas,no sd's,or gmt pepsi though. I think the prices were a bit higher than ususal, only 10 % discount,no bargain, better here. Oh, and in one shop they were actually selling copies from a showcase. SS daytona for $450.00 US dollars with the 24 Hours Daytona engraved on back. Other shop with sombreros and tshirts and fakes. gmt coke bezel guy starts at 600. I asked pesos ? No dollars he says. Then 500,400,300, as I am walking out O.K. 200 dollars take it. I said 40 bucks, he turned away.
I bought t shirts other places.

Glad you had a nice vacation. I wouldn't pay even 1 peso for a fake.

Welcome back Peter! Hope it was a sweet trip! Any reason why you didn't bring Bluessy with you? And did the fakes look like the real deal? Or were they obvious knock offs? Pics of Cancun would be nice!
