Never been to Vegas. Everything I know comes from second-hand sources like my parents, or reading Frank Sinatra's biographies BUT... Suggestions You need a workhorse watch. Omega UPO will do. You need a bling-bling watch. Breitling SOSF seems closest. You need an elegant watch. Railmaster. Wear this to Tourneau in the Bellagio. (Correction: Caesars Palace not Bellagio! Thanks to those who didn't correct, except by inference below) Have fun! Always bet on black 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, 28 black. I always get the nomenclature wrong! Anyway, this is a funny story. The Florida Panthers once had a bruising defender (and black Canadian from Montreal) called, Peter Worrell. Miss Sports-fanatic over here was listening to a post-game interview one time, and he mentioned he was off to Vegas. Ended the interview with, "Don't forget. Always bet on 28 black". Obviously, his number was 28. And he was black. Won about U$ 1200 in Monte when I let it ride twice on 28 black. Woo, chung-a-lugga! Have fun, babe!

Watchmeister Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 The Muller Vegas is a must. It costs all of $150.00 and the roulette function is better than on the gen. Two friends who had big nights in Vegas (they were not suffering to begin with though) bought the gen gold version in the Caesar's Shopping Mall. Pick up the stainless. You may not have won 50k but theoretically you just won 20k, you picked up the watch, a couple of first class ladies and even bought the wife a gift. You good husband you.

jfreeman420 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 What should I take to Vegas? You beat me to it Andy................. I usually bring two watches to Vegas. One blinged and the other super blinged. Lots of bling is intimidating at the poker table. Makes you look as though you could care less about the money.

Victoria Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 You beat me to it Andy................. I usually bring two watches to Vegas. One blinged and the other super blinged. Lots of bling is intimidating at the poker table. Makes you look as though you could care less about the money. It's intimidating in any hi-power situation, like at a corporate conference table and in front of a JC chairwoman. Just be careful with the bling-bling: others usually have the same idea, and if their bling is real, YOU will end up looking like a real schmuck. Honestly, in Vegas, I'd go with two watches. My best gen, and my best sports rep watch. This means my gen de Grisogno Instrumentino and possibly now, my Hublot White Magic. A Rolex for either category doesn't hurt, and the good part is that you can get away with a good rep too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWP Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Responsibility and cash. Leave the significant other at home as you will have more fun in the county. Camera and a healthy appetite for night life. The club in the Venetian Tower is the best on the strip. I am taking a trip to Vegas in November, Wynn here I come. Please LEAVE the 111H in Torneau at Caesar's Palace ALONE as this has my name all over it. Do not forget your clubs. Vegas has many great courses.

hambone Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Any watch you have will be fine. Sounds like a nice collection. Do bring a credit card, BTW, I live in Vegas and you do not want to get stuck here without an available source of funds to bail you out of whatever might happen, and anything can happen in this town.

Who said anything about my bling being fake? I do own genuine bling as well V. I am taking a trip to Vegas in November, Wynn here I come. I will be there the week of thanksgiving. Plan to play at the Wynn a couple of days. I will let you know which watch I will be wearing you can stop by and say hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Im with Jfreeman on this one....Vegas needs BLING. A Diamond bezel BCE would be best....I guess the SFSO is the next alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now people are catching on PAM. I did have chance to toy with IWC Aquatimer chrono. Very nice watch. In my experience, wear what moves you and feel comfortable and confident. Have a responsible fun as TWP said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dosanim Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Sorry, Bro. I asked sales rep about it and her reply was that as soon as it comes, it goes away. You may want to give them a call in advance for new shipment. One in Costa Mesa, CA , they only had 40mm, white face and FErrarie PAM few month ago. I hope you have better luck than I did.
