James Bonds choice on the 21 century :D
(honestly it would be the SD)
What would you wear(on your wrist) to the casino?
(I don't know how i came to this item)

... frankly, I wore the Zegarek Zubrow for the birth of our son
... and I would be hard pressed to think of any watch more dignified than this one. :D
Having said that, I don't consider a casino to warrant a dignified watch, so probably my old Timex digital. :twisted: :wink:

If you were visiting Mohegan Sun, you'd most certainly be wearing a distinguished time piece like the Omega Planet Ocean. BTW... did you chaps know that the world's largest casino is located right here in the woods of Connecticut. Yep, lil' ole' Connecticut. :wink:
How many people in the other 49 states do you reckon to be in a position to spell "Connecticut" correctly? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :wink:Originally Posted by swedeone3

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Last time I was in a casino I wore an AP Royal Oak.
Those were the days.............

Hi
Well I would take the wife as a good luck charm and I expect we would wear these:
Thanks

Hmm, well I've been in a casino once, in Australia, and I believe I was wearing the Sinn 656 :)

Would depend on the casino. If it is one where you wear black tie I would be wearing the one on the left.
If you can make casino people think you've got money ... until they find out that you don't... you get lots of freebies. To them it's just occupational hazard.
That IWC thingy will do nicely Sir. On a leather strap.

On a serious note ... I watched the Bond prog on BBC last night ... it appears that the whole plot revolves around Casinos and Poker. I am not surprised because as of late the UK has become hellbent on gambling. In the not so distant past gambling was very much controlled and advertising prohibited ... nothing good can ever come out of it.
I bet (boom boom) some gambling money was involved in financing the movie and probably the plot too.

Well i'd wear a big breasted, slutty blonde and ask someone the time!
Who wants to know the time in a casino anyway?
Good point about the slutty blonde ... don't get a Russian one, everybody has them.

I've always liked this Chopard
This Lange would do nicely too :D
I've been in quite a few casinos in Vegas and Atlantic City. Vegas, particularly, is pretty laid back. I guess the European ones are a bit more upity :lol:

This one, if I could only find an identical example:
An old basic Rollie ain't going to get you very far in a casino mate. Would look like your Graduation watch ... or you are a professor or something. :twisted:
Unless you come with a different one every day for a month. That is lovely ... but casino fodder, it?s not.

How many people in the other 49 states do you reckon to be in a position to spell "Connecticut" correctly? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :wink:
Better yet... how many people worldwide would guess that this little state would be home to the world's largest casino (Foxwoods) as well as the world's "best" casino (Mohegan Sun) as well? I'd say... 6. :lol:
And how many people in Connecticut would guess that the Mohegan Sun was developed by a South African (Sol Kerzner) that made his money exploiting loopholes in apartheid law and figuring out that 'homelands' (places where black South Africans were officially citizens of to avoid giving them the vote) could offer gambling, even if 'normal' South Africa couldn't. He then built casinos (Sun City, Wild Coast Casino) in these pockets (with lots of bribary scandals alleged) that were technically outside South African law.How many people in the other 49 states do you reckon to be in a position to spell "Connecticut" correctly? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :wink:

Fast forward a few years, and he exploits similar loopholes in American law merely replacing the word 'homelands' with 'reservations'. Very smart man! :shock: 8)
If I was to go to a Casino such as one in Monte Carlo - it would have to be a SD or (wish I had one) JLC.
I believe it is mandatory to visit a casino with a beautiful woman on your arm. :D

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Hmmm. OK, how about the one I do have?
I imagine it's still not casino fodder. No bling. No diamonds. No gaudiness. It is somewhat understated. What is it they say? Walking softly but carrying a big stick...
It depends on whether you are there to gamble and have fun, or do the electrics. :twisted:Hmmm. OK, how about the one I do have?

The way it works ... you sleep with her first ... then you take her to the casino and feed her ... then you put her in the limo and send her home - so you can get stuck into some real gambling, without her keep going on about how much is this and how much is that.
Totally acceptable. The Milgy shows taste and knowledge. You don't see many of them about.Hmmm. OK, how about the one I do have?
...
Nice one Bob. :lol:
Unfortunately the electrics are more likely being fixed by a Polish person and I have never seen a Polish electrician with a Milgauss. If I bumped into a casino personnel with one of them, he is more likely to be security ... you know ... with the banks of monitors and all the surveillance electronics.

I've got it.
I walk in wearing a black dinner suit, milgauss on the wrist, luscious wench on one arm, shoulder bag with a few screwdrivers and a multimeter on the other; and have a Polish accent.
I should have all bases covered. :)

The question is perhaps, how much have you got for the cover? :) :lol:
I like the Rolexes and since you have some you can go sometimes.
I was thinking of wearing a sundial modified to be on a bug G-sta Chain-I kind of 'torc' :lol:
and one could have the eloquent chat-up line of : 'Bling dis BIAATCH to any 'disrespectors'
On the other hand, would settle for this, next to the roulette wheel with this-a complementary and timely pair:
or:
armstorng rockwell
not this, imo:

Well, watches are really a kind of jewelry aren't they, so I would of course want to appear looking my best, and suitably be-jewelled, :D :D :D

It rather looks that way, Martin :) Not having held nor thrown one, I am not sure:)
It is quite kitch :D
If it was toned down a notch, perhaps with more classic colours, it would be on that fine line between taking its self seriously and poking good fun at the overall concept [of gambling].
As it is, it tries too hard, to be fun, imo, in the interplay of idea and colour vibrant together. This is touch too far for a casino ww, imo.
Sincerely,
Pottinger :)
Watchwise I'd want something a bit different with at least a modicom of style, so I'd wear this:-

The dial is bleeding awful with those swirls. It's enough to bring on epilepsy(apologies to anyone who knows someone that suffers from this!)

I saw one of those nasty 007 SeMP's in Ohio. The saleswoman didn't like the fact that I told her it was very ugly and I wouldn't let my dog wear it. The guy who was looking at Speedmasters next to me couldn't stop laughing.
That was YOU :wink:
It was a joke, Griff. I only posted it to show how much %*ega has slip into the design of utter tripe...
2nd day in a row that irony and sarcasm are being lost as posts traverse the Atlantic ocean. :wink:It was a joke, Griff. I only posted it to show how much %*ega has slip into the design of utter tripe...

Compared to the dial the case size on this Omega is just ridiculous

One of my late Uncles was a dealer and pit boss at the Golden Nugget for about 40 years. This was back in the bad old days when things were pretty wild in Vegas. He told me that guys were always acting like they had dough. The dead giveaway that they were phonies was cheap shoes. The first thing they looked at was feet. So make sure you got some stylish leather on those size 12's to go with that nice watch.

If you wear a £40K '40s PP you can come in bare foot.
The most stylish and posh tho are monogrammed sleepers.
