Get it spent, can't take it with you!
Look forward to seeing the result.
Good luck, looking forward to the pics...
I am hoping there is nothing there to be honest but let's see. I am a sucker for convincing myself and the Mrs it's better to stick the cash into a watch and have some fun rather than leaving it in the bank. If it seems like I won't lose much/anything then I may pull out the card. Will report back with what I can see
Gassan can always pull stock from the Dam store if there's something in particular you want, then you pick it up on your way back through.
No hulks for me but it is very tempting. The blue datejust with the White gold bezel is lovely!
Wifi is a bit slow but I have some photos that I will put up later when at the hotel. I need to check against iconic before coming back on Thursday!

Look how pale blue that GV Milgauss witht the blue dial looks. What a great dial. The one next to the White Milgauss if you were wondering
Interesting. I only suggested that because they offered to do that for me on a JLC Master UT a few years ago. I didn't take them up on the offer in the end.Quote:

Yep it was the main store I checked with as the Rolex boutique is before you go through passport controlQuote:

I was thinking the same - I had the original GV but may have to look at one of these in the not too distant futureQuote:

have you checked out the aqua terra?
There were a few aquaterra's in but they are not something I would go for. The blue dial date just 2 is winning at the momentQuote:
