The joints full of Rolexes.

You just gotta rip them off someone’s wrist.

Easier to get lucky at the tables and use that profit to go grey if you wanted something to come home with!
But you never know…

Try them all, but be cool about it as they get hit up by tourists many, many, many times each day.

It really depends on what you mean by "get lucky". When at the Wynn about a month ago, they had two 36DJ's and a 28mm OP available. Nothing else, of course. If you're good with any watch, then perhaps you'll be happy with what you find available.

Same, but the only thing I'm hoping to score is a Moonswatch for the Mrs. I'd take one for me too if the color is right and they're available.

Great point, yet he's going to °Vegas° to get his freak on.

I was in Vegas in May and there were some TT DJs and a TT SD.

Overall the ADs were really pleasant to work with, but nothing available I wanted.

eBay. Prices are finally reasonable for a brand new Moonswatch. Any color you want is finally within reason.

I was there last weekend and all the AD’s in the casinos had lots of display models but I didn’t ask any questions on availability.

Be aware that there are also fake Moonswatches out there though.

In Vegas you don't need to get lucky, just need a good bank account!!! (Or did I misunderstand something?)

Would you believe I'm an early adopter of Ebay that hasn't used it in 20 years now?

Does not surprise me. What surprises me is that they fake the Casio F91W!

Just walked out of AP at Crystal shops. They had exactly 3 display pieces out, that’s it.

We’re just there a month ago, went to most of the dealers, they all had more sales associates than watches for sale. Good luck.

I was just in Vegas..... No SS model in any of the AD's. There are PM models at the AD in the Wynn. The sales people there are nice. BTW.... they took out the museum when they remodeled the store. Good luck.

The Rolex display in Crystal Shops had all the GMTs exhibition in the window. Nothing great at Bellagio.

If you're really interested in something, go to Boutique and put your name down. I visited once, expressed interest in a Sea Dweller, and got a call about three weeks later to purchase it. At that time, I had just gotten another watch, so I passed.
