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.

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

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.

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 😀
