Rolex and The Grand Canyon
My wife and I spent some time at The Grand Canyon yesterday. I snapped this pic. We had an AWESOME time. Can't wait to go back.....

Guys, I'm really sorry about the picture size. Since Photobucket has changed their situation, I've not found a good alternative. Please forgive.

We spent some time at Las Vegas this weekend and I tried on my dream watch at the Bellagio. I would have bought it, but they wouldn't budge a penny on the price. :(

Thank you my friend. I know I've been a bit scarce on here......that's what working 70hrs per week will do for you. But......it will also buy you a very expensive Rolex.

What was it? Playtona? Awesome pic by the way, did you bring any of your sea dwellers with you?

Regarding the pics, try tapatalk. it's my new work around since photobucket gave the middle finger to free third party hosting.

It was a Platinum Daytona with the Diamond Baguette dial. RRP is $81,000 and those snobs wouldn't budge even a little bit on the price. I guess they don't have to......the toilet paper seems to be made from $100 bills in Vegas.

I didn't bring any other watches. I should have.......and thanks for the tip on Tapatalk. I've been resistant to use it, but I guess I should just give-in and try it.

Nice! So many breathtaking views around the rim. I hiked it with my father for the 2nd time a couple years ago (30-40 degrees cooler that time which made it much more enjoyable!) and took this pic when we came back to the top:
