That would be a GREAT trip! Just imagine, all Forum members spending a crazy week, 7 days, 7 places, all duty free:

1.- Cancun
2.- San Juan
3.- Panama
4.- Jamaica
5.- St Thomas
6.- St Maartin
7.- Nassau

Sounds like you need help.....

















...to carry some new watches.... I can help there!
How about a JLC master compressor?
or a PAM217?
Heck, I'd be happy with a Santos.

Enjoy yourself, you're one lucky bugger!

to be honest (no kidding), a Rolex would be over 5/6 grand for a 2 tone....but the new Pasha w/leather strap and the black rubber one....hmmm.....and those Lacroix Retrograde watches....

As you can see, Gerardo, you came to the wrong place for that kind of help. We are all salivating with envy over the "tough" situation you are putting yourself in. Instead of saying No, No, No, what are we telling you - YES, YES, YES!!!

Well, Gerardo...in all seriousness, that's what several millions of people around the world would give their right hand for....in fact, the same hand we'd give for a new Rolex!!

The cure for your conflict about buying another Rolex for yourself is to buy one for the WOMEN in your life-- at least seven, of course. One from every port? In the unlikely possibility that you can't conjure up seven feminine wrists, I'd be willing to offer mine.
