Here's the pics that were taken while I was visiting the Rolex store at The Wynn in Las Vegas. This is a genuine ROLEX STORE, not an AD!

Here's some other pics that were taken at an AD in Vegas.

Russel · 20 August 2006, 06:54 AM

Wow, great photographs! Thanks for sharing with us!

homeboy11 · 20 August 2006, 07:07 AM

thanks great photo ,next time i will stop by the wynn to check it out

Prince · 20 August 2006, 07:12 AM

Great photos, Jeff. Thanks for giving us a look. I've never been in a Rolex outlet store before. Excellent!

I noticed you took quite a few photos of GMT's. I wonder why?!?

But was that Root Beer baby as beautiful in person as it seems to look in the couple of photos from the AD???

JJ Irani · 20 August 2006, 07:44 AM

Sorry, Jeff....but your pics just come up as red crosses for me. Can't see a damn thing!

They WERE there, but have suddenly disappeared. There must be something wrong with his graphics hosting site. The photos are great, though!!!

colemanitis · 20 August 2006, 08:01 AM

Let me make a call and see what's going on.

colemanitis · 20 August 2006, 08:07 AM

They're already aware of the issue and are fixing it as we speak.

Things seem to be fixed now. Excellent work, Jeff!!!

Is that the maxi-dial all SS GMT Master II in one of your pics? Or is that the anniversary one with TT but looks like all SS in the pic?

also noticed they have a black SS Daytona... is it selling for retail? I would have bought it just to sell it and make a profit.

It was ok. I was expecting more contrast between the two colors on the bezel. My attention was definitely drawn from it by the more impressive watches.

It's the TT GMT anniversary w/ black maxi dial. The pic didn't pick up the gold color for some reason.

I didn't try this watch on, so I don't know what the selling price was. All the watches I looked at were selling at regular retail.

Hmmmm... Was it new or an older GMT? I KNOW that I have seen bezels with a LOT of contrast. I like 'em a lot, but I want it to look as good as the Pepsi (Yeah Jeff, I know - not gonna happen in your book!!!).

I assume it was a new GMT, afterall it was in the window front and center. The Pepsi has it beat hands down, of course.

mike · 20 August 2006, 11:49 AM

Beautifull pics!

I would love to have one of those clocks!!

Actually, from looking at the pics I was wrong. The rootbeer wasn't in the window, but in the regular case with the other watches. I would still assume that it's new, but who knows?

indra · 20 August 2006, 05:21 PM

If just somebody would say to me "pick one..."

mailman · 20 August 2006, 09:20 PM

Great pics Jeff. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, you owe me a keyboard. Mine just shorted out from all of the drool

Well, without asking the staff there, it would be impossible to know for sure. I do know that I have seen Root Beer GMTs with very obvious contrast in the bezels - its one of the reasons I like 'em.

In any event, your photos are dynamite, Jeff. I'm sure you had a great time. Thanks for sharing!

JJ Irani · 21 August 2006, 04:44 AM

Thanks, Jeff...I see the pics now. Excellent and truly mouth-watering stuff. Wish I could visit that shop. That huge clock outside is a cracker!!

Thanks - JJ

You've already had one.

nice picx! thx

31 August 2006, 10:34 PM

So Jeff, where are the pix of the cops taking you away after the store staff saw you taking pix and panicked thinking you were casing the joint?

Anyone else want to bet JJ has those coronet door pushers on the front door of his house?
