Just was out there recently. I had lunch on that pier. If you head down the beach towards the white & red catamarans, Barcelo has a Rolex AD there. You can get there from the beach

There is also a mall to the left of The Renaissance with a Rolex AD there. The workers at both are very nice. Check them out if you’re in the area.

Another great day so far, stopped by Gandelman in the old downtown in Aruba.

Two PM Rolex Submariners, a Yachtmaster 2, couple of diamond bezel DJ’s, and two OP’s.

Chatted with Desmond for awhile, very nice gentleman, some great Pateks, the new Pilot was there, no Nautilus or Aquanaut on display, but a dozen or so beautiful references- he didn’t want me taking a picture of the display.

However I tried on a few, breathtaking to actually wear these watches, they are truly works of art. Maybe one day....:-)

Aruba is very safe with super friendly people on the island. That being said, it doesnt matter where I am, if I'm in a hotel, I dont take off my watch. Yes, I do know people who had things stolen from their safes in very luxurious hotels but I'm also deathly afraid of forgetting the watch on the nightstand, in the safe, etc after a night where I had a few too many!

Life insurance?

Do you think wearing a solid gold Rolex makes you less or more of a target.

Mexico murders dwarf the US and Tijuana’s more than 2,000 murders per year is more than top 10 US cities combined.

15,973 murders is a LOT! That was the total in Mexico ...... but only for the first half of 2018!
