I have family in the Ft Lauderdale/Davie area. If you want to do the touristy beach, go to Ft Lauderdale Beach. If you want it nice and quiet, go to Dania beach. The Seminole Hard Rock Casino has a great watch store also
Enjoy your vacation

WELL

i went into aventura mall today to check out some ADs....

went into Tourneau and Mayors.....Mayors had a HUGE selection of everything i could ever dream of.....even got to try on the leopard daytona which was an experience in itself believe me!! The guy told me that they are almost completely sold out of it and the one in his shop is one of the last ones in the south. The reason they are sellin still escapes me!!! anyways....i got to try on my beloved Explorer 2 white face and grin at it for a bit....AND i HAD to try on the TT sub (blue) just to see what the fuss was about!!! gorgeous dial definitely. the guy next to me that was browsing was wearing the TT sub. i commented on it and he said "wanna buy it?" lol.....i declined. Unfortunately i didnt have $5000 USD on me so i couldnt walk out with the EX2....

i went into Tourneau and they barely had anything. the first thing the guy said to me when i walked in was "hey nice rolex....wanna trade it in for something else?" he was tryin to talk me into a root beer GMT master. I wasnt interested.....other then that they were pretty bare. Im gonna go into Mayors again before i leave and visit all my sub's cousins OH mayors told me they could get me a used one for south of 3k USD. could be here in one day....hmmmmm got my gears turnin!

all in all florida has been great....i must say that i have seen more subs in all variations (TT, SS etc) then i have seen anywhere else. Its amazing really. Makes me wonder if maybe in miami they have a big fake rolex market where everyone buys em.....even the guy on the plane that sat next to us was wearing one!! WTF!

ill be checkin in again before i retreat back to the icy cold north!!! hope all is well in ur respective countries!! i would be on skype but this is the wifeys laptop and i cant remember the password to my account!! duh!
