Thanks guys...yes a very different look from my yachtmaster and datejust. I love it. I have small wrists so the 31mm looks like a 40mm on a gentlemen/woman. Going to take different pics of the watch after work today so you guys can see it all around. Again Thanks for the

Congrats on you new watch. Can't wait to see pics.



ps I too lost at the tables....
I visited that store, the salespeople were such snobs. I asked to try on a Milguass and the white gold Sub, and all they did was point to the case. I then rolled up my sleeve to reveal the GMT and got a totally different response: they asked me if I wanted any water and began treating me like a potential customer.

When they pulled the watches out of the case, I didn't even humor them; I was already walking out of the store.

Good luck at Mohegan Sun.
Where is the AD in Foxwoods ? Unless it's a fairly new one, I've never seen an AD in Foxwoods (unless it's in the new MGM Grand part). The one at Mohegan Sun I know of very well (I go in there everytime we go, just to window shop lol).

They have somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 salespeople who work there so I am not surprised some are snooty.

I spoke with a gentleman named Philip and he was very knowledgeable and courteous.

I did not buy anything there.

Good to know not all of them are like the few I encountered. It was really odd, especially considering I was the only person to walk in for the last fifteen minutes, and nobody was in while I was browsing.

@flyingsquirrel , congrats, great watch and looks the perfect size for you.
buying in Vegas is great , isn't it ?

@Yves , happy I live in a part of Europe where this is not the case. Was at a Rolex dealer just today. Was treaded like royalty and was dressed rather casual to say it politely.

Since the title is "I was in Vegas" I can respond, no ?

I LOVE going to Vegas too. We have been going every year since 2000.
And it is always a little "magic wonderland" for me and the wife.
Unfortunately the last 2 years we were unable to go.

Disneyworld/Epcot for grownups! I never went to vegas before 6 years ago, and now so far this year I went in February & March, and will be going again in June and September, all for different functions. I'm addicted to staying at the Wynn/Encore now. Their incredible Rolex store is not helping matters.

Squirrel: Let's see some more pics of your new baby!
