Watches everywhere @ Dubai Maill in DUBAI

My wife and two grand children went to Dubai, UAE for 7 nights out at Atlantis the Palm for some site seeing and shopping at The Dubai Mall. This mall in Dubai is a mecca for all the high end watch company boutiques and just wow.

I had promised myself before we left the states that no more watches for me and none on this trip.. HAH that lasted about one day until we went to the mall and needed a watch fix of some sort. I also told myself NO MORE RIMOWA LUGGAGE until I seen the Limited Edition Dubai Titanium Carry on with there new straps that Rimowa offers.. I was weak in the knees on both counts..

Nice - congrats; welcome to the neighborhood!

To clarify anybody reading this, lots of boutiques, but you guessed it; no available 'in demand pieces'

Yes if one is looking for the common stainless steel flippers that are meaningless to me, that would be correct. Demand by who..? surely not to me at all. Seen millions of dollars worth of watches just at the Breguet Boutique and yes no stainless steel flippers their.. Rolex and Audemars "FLIPPERS" were not to be seen, but surely a watch for everyone...!

Congratulations on the IWC and luggage.

Hi there, yes we had a great time as we stayed at The Atlantis so that the kids had tons of things to do their.. I already have 2 Breguets and quite honestly I was not looking to buy another watch until I seen this one and I was going home with it. It also was quite expensive but just spoke to me..!

This is the one I bought one of 250 and can only be purchased from a IWC Boutique and the IWC in Dubai is the largest in the world. I quite honestly had no idea that IWC had such expensive watches that I seen their in the boutique..

Ok. I gotta ask this?

Why are your pictures always sideways? On every thread.

Do you post laying down in bed?

C'mon, you gotta tell us.

Honestly I really have no idea as when I post them from here, they appear to be correctly situated. They are taken with my apple phone..

Has to do with the dimensions of the photo, that on 'preview' they appear sideways. If you right click open in a new window, they may appear 'upright' again.

This is why I host all my pictures on imgbb for example and link in the photo.
