Watch spotting Turks and Caicos

So far:

Batman on oyster (assuming previous generation but not sure)

Tudor Pelagosblack (interesting one couldn’t figure out at first as looked like a vintage sub and smaller than I’m used to - but guy had big wrist and I got closer to identify two liner)

Bluesy (thinking 126613LB as looked new and clasp a bit thicker)

Invicta (threw me for a loop as couldn’t place it from afar)

124060 (on my own wrist )

I’m kinda scared how good I’m getting at watch spotting



Will keep it posted as I go

Jae’s is a good AD, no idea if his inventory situation is any different than anywhere else, not likely. I bought my GMT II LN there in 2015. Have fun, T&C is terrific!

Thanks! Will stop in! I’d love to get lucky on an explorer for my wife. Fat chance I’m sure!

Love T&C. Stayed at the Wymara for a week right before the world shut down last year…

Nice sightings, I’m sure you’ll see a handful of other great pieces (especially that Invicta :) ).

Watch spotting is usually half the reason why I hit the town on any given day. That said, enjoy your trip!

I was in Turks just over a month ago and Jai’s had very little in the Rolex case. They did have the Tudor BB silver sitting in the case though.

The good news is they said that they have a policy of putting stock in the case as they don’t ship watches at all and only sell watches in person to people on the island. So walk in and you could get lucky

No such luck! Good Tudor case though with the GMT and BB58 blue. I’ve already got the latter and the GMT a little bit for me.

I’m in St Thomas, USVI right now and AH Riise has only ladies and three Cellini. It looks really pitiful. Patek across the street actually has a nice selection, but none of the hot models of course. It is amazing how lax the security is here versus the super tight security at the Paris stores. I much prefer the island way of doing things, ie. doors wide open to simply walk in, just two sales people, and no security people that I noticed. The super nice sales guy let me try on a 5205G and had to run into the back for something and told me, “Guard that for me.” Lol
