Afternoon members, I'll be headingto Vegas for a few days this Sunday and was wondering if anyone had any watch shops they have visited and would recommend. Thank you
The Forum Shop's (Rolex, Omega, etc...) at Caesar's are nice But they are priced WAY high trying to lure in the drunk gamblers that don't know any better....until the next morning.
The only OB in Vegas is in the Bellagio, open until midnight 7 days a week! It's right next to the Conservatory, which is a very cool place to have a meal or check out the cool decorations, if you're into that stuff.
Thanks guys. Ive actually stated at the bellagio before. But it was before I was into watches. Any vintage shops?
What about off strip? I will be in Vegas in mid may for a few days and would love to find stores outside the ones on the strip.
Unfortunately I think Vegas seems to be more interested in the new watch market. Makes sense given all the tourists. I think the Tourneau store has a lot of used watches, not sure if they're vintage, but it is a gigantic store inside the Caesars Forum Shops.
Has anyone tried the pawn shops there, or anywhere? Vegas has two or three major pawn shop chains, and I would think there might be some nice stuff, but I've never looked.
Been there, done that. They actually have some nice vintage watches. Mostly older Rolex. You have to look out for redials, most were pretty obvious. Price were double retail, at least to start. I'm sure there are some flea markets or thrift stores that get stuff on occasion, but like anywhere else, only the locals know about them. Happy hunting, gatorcpa
He's got a business to run. Comparing that place to a real pawn shop is like comparing the Eiffel Tower in Paris to the one in Las Vegas. gatorcpa
The line to get in the place is insane sometimes, add the heat factor make sure you take water and a hat!
I was in Vegas in early February and decided to visit Ricks Pawn shop in the hope of selling him a vintage Abercrombie and Fitch alarm watch. No sign of the owners or his relations and the only watches the shop is interested in buying are Rolex. He had a couple of newish seamasters but it would be cheaper to purchase from am authorised dealer in the states.
Horologio is in the canal shoppes in the Venetian. Have Omega and will negotiate. Also set of associated shops on the Venetian casino level that has the Lange boutique and IWC & VC next door. Breguet boutique in Bellagio which also has Omega. Check out Crystals mall (close to Aria)--have a shop with Omega plus all other Swatch owned brands.The AP boutique is also there. Wynn is amazing.
