I didn't get a chance to post more of my Rolex in Las Vegas report while I was there last week. I had a slow internet connection and not much time. But while there I tried to visit as many watch shops as I could. So here is part two.

FYI I didn't see anything that most here search for such as Milgauss and SS Daytona, I did ask at most shops. I did find one LV Sub and one GMT II C at Ben Bridge in the Fashion Show Mall across from where I was staying at the Wynn.

The people in the shops were very nice and were happy to talk to me about watches even though I didn't make it apparent that I wanted to buy anything They were happy to talk to someone who knew and enjoyed watches.

For the most part Rolex was featured everywhere from the moment I stepped of the plane in baggage claim to shops in most of the top hotels including a Rolex only shop at the Wynn. As one would expect there is plenty of bling, lots of gold but also plenty of SS and TT everything from Air Kings to Blingy multi jeweled eye poppers.

I took photos of the shop windows everywhere I went. I didn't even ask in the shops as I knew it is generally not permitted.

After looking at all the Rolex watches currently available beside the aforementioned hard to find ones I have decided my next Rolex watches on my list are Platty YM and Rose Gold DD.

At baggage claim

Wynn & Co. (For other high end watches -Rolex at Rolex only Shop across the way)

The Rolex shop at the Wynn

Tourneau Time Machine at Ceasars Palace Forum Shops
Cool Rolex signage

Hyde Park at Ceasars Palace Forum Shops

Especially for Bo-Fifty Fathoms - this is in the window at Horologio at the Palazzo

The Palazzo also has and IWC and VC shop

Be Jeweled at Mandalay Bay

Tesorini at The Bellaggio

Ben Bridge at the Fashion Show Mall

Even Treasure Island had a watch shop featuring Rolex

This is where I stayed

Wow Lisa that is amazing, you had a great hotel and I have to laugh

at all the watch shopping/looking you must have done, that is awesome

I hope you had time to take a dip in the pool, and I bet the weather would have been superb.

So you have your sights set on not 1 but 2 new Rolex, geez you certainly don't do things by halves.

Nice pics. Looks like one sales guy was giving you the stare as you got the shot.

watchlady · 31 March 2008, 10:52 AM

He was the security guard but he was fine when I was photographing the window.

We sat at the pool each morning for an hour and I had a chance to swim one afternoon.

I can see the YM before the DD, the DD would only get very occasional wrist time and it's $$$. I also have a non Rolex watch wish list so I'll always have time on my hands.

Very nice pics, thanks for sharing. I am surprised that you didn't see more of the "high demand but harder to find Rolexes, like the Milgauss you mentioned. Thank you.
