Saw it in the wild!

I finally saw the orange hand Rolex Explorer II in the wild. Last week I was in the Wynne Hotel Casino in Las Vegas playing three card poker and a beautiful young Mexican couple were sitting next to me and he was wearing this watch.

Very beautiful watch and actually not as ostentatious or 'blingy' as I thought it would be, but classy and beautiful.

Vegas is defiantly a watch spotter's paradise. Sometimes it's hard to tell the reals from the fakes from a safe viewing distance though.

I'd say 50/50 most of the time.

The lady was gorgeous and I was trying not to stare.... oh you mean the watch. It looked like a Brietling (spelling?).
He let me look at it and it looked real, though it's no guarantee of course.

He let you look at the girl? They were real?
