Finally in Switzerland

Preflight prep, which of course, involves beer. my wife said "I'm not doing wrist shots all week!"


With no sleep we land in Zurich and end up at a outdoor cafe on the Limmat River. Which of course involves beer.



Never seen so many watch shops in one area. Even found a few vintage pieces.


Off to Lucerne tomorrow.

Welcome to Zürich mate, nice shots... Happy you enjoy your stay in our country. I see you found the Rolex boutique. Also be sure to pay a visit to the Bucherer main house when in Lucerne... They are the go-to place for everything Rolex here in Switzerland. If you have enough time, you might want to explore the Lavaux vineyards on the shores of lake Geneva (between Montreux and Lausanne), which hold some of the most beautiful sights of the country.

They only just started to roll it out, but there should be good enough coverage in Zurich's city center.
