Me too... went back to Omega. Haven't even seen one in the wild since the switchback. Haven't regretted it either for a second. Living in a retirement golf community, Rolex is everywhere. I like to be different. Glad I wore two Rolex but also glad to flip on...

Superdog, if you are in Vegas later this week, there are a couple big watch shows starting Saturday. Saturday and Sunday is the World Wide Traders show at Circus Circus, and then Monday and Tuesday next week is the IWJG show at the Tropicana. They'll be watches everywhere!!! I know a few of us from the forum will be there. I'm leaving Dallas Thursday and plan on arriving this Friday.

Maybe we'll see you there.

The IWJG is for members so you would need to join. The WWT is open to the public.

I was in Vegas in January and did the Rolex Wynn thing - before the reno. I wore my GMT Pepsi and the female owner of an ice cream kiosk noticed it. She told me she owned a DJ that she never wears to work - doesn't want to lather it with ice cream!

Don't gamble, but had a great time gawking and eating - Vegas has some great stores and restaurants. Ended up going to the Jazz Club in the Mandalay one evening and there was Santana sitting there with a couple of slinky looking babes.

Most interesting street peddlar award - a guy holding a sign saying "Kick me in the balls - $25"

Hoopla!
