just wanted to post some thoughts. Arrived in Vancouver yesterday, here for a week on business/family fun. Staying in the West End. Wonderfully diverse, friendly people. And watches!! I noticed most men wear watches. At the hotel, the person who check me in was wearing a DSOTM, and my bell man was wearing a Seamaster 300 BIG TRIANGLE!! The bellman!! After fawning over his watch, I've noticed a JLC master hometime, a couple of other omegas, and what i thought was a PP calatrava. Amzing. Im moving here.

 

Appears you'll have HIGH COMPETITION.

 

I had similar experience, specially in Whistler. Gorgeous city, its as pristine as it gets.

 

What the hell kind of hotels do you stay at where the staff are all wearing $10k+ watches

 

Since no one there can afford a home, they spend it on watches!

 

That's what I said!!!!!

 

I live in San Francisco...I'm going to use that one on my wife...

 

Probably in the Hotel Vancouver, location of Brinkhaus Jewellers.

 

Brinkhaus is now down the block(they are no longer selling Omegas).......but the OB is in Hotel Vancouver.

 

Yep, the OB is in the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver on West Georgia St. I have been to Vancouver twice this year on business and will travel again soon. Saw several UK ex-pat engineers wearing Breitling and Omegas.

 

Crazy here. My wrist feels jealous wearing 1675 and 1016.

 

Thanks for the heads up, when I visit Vancouver will take with me the most expensive watch that I have, to fit in as a local
