Vegas Incoming
I was staying at the Bellgaio in Vegas and won some money so went into Tesorini (Rolex AD inside Bellagio) looking for a Ceramic sub, or rhodium dial datejust. They had jus sold a ceramic sub yesterday so that was out of the picture. I was considering the datejust...but eventually passed on it. As I was walking out, my sales lady says “you won’t believe what we just got”. She goes to the back and comes back with a Sea-Dweller....I was shocked. Bought it right away. Had it shipped home to save on taxes.
She told me the day before (12/21), they had received a surprise shipment of two subs, two Daytona’s, and two BLNR’s. Vegas stores must get allocated a lot of these hot watches due to their high sales volume?   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That is a serious score and a very nice gift for the Christmas season. I would have purchased it as well. The SD43 is one of my favorites. Did they say which 2 Sub models they just got it and sold??

That’s the way to do it my man. Nothing feels better than taking the House for a run and walking away with a Rolex on your wrist. Well done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
