"Traveling around with them" -- Is this on a ship? They seem to be missing a 'regular' Speedmaster Pro, but otherwise have all the bases covered. I could see reaching port a few dollars lighter.

Royal Caribbean.
Believe me walking into this watch shop everyday and walking out again empty handed is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do in a long while. Lol
I’m no expert on speedmasters, but they have the special edition that comes in the massive black moon watch presentation box.

Test their knowledge and have them price match Jomashop. I tried it once and it worked...

I was on Oasis of the Seas a few weeks back and I was in the watch shop everyday too.

Got talking to a really pleasant young guy working in there and although he wasn’t fully clued up on Omegas he was extremely open to me trying on probably around 15 different Omegas on from Planet Oceans to Speedmaster even though I told him I wasn’t intending on buying anything. He said he didn’t really care as he just loved talking watches.

Funnily enough my next planned purchase was gonna be A Seamaster Diver but after trying lots of watches on over the vacation I actually settled on a watch that I hadn’t considered before and it never appealed to me Until trying it on. That watch was a white faced Aqua Terra with a rubber strap and orange accents! Another reason why I’d always recommend to get out there and get these watches on your wrist before buying.

Did I go with the Aqua Terra eventually and buy it ? No...but it was very close ...as the young guy tried to convince me that I should just use my sea pass card to purchase as it wasn’t Real Money ! Hahaha

Defo learnt a lot about what I liked and didn’t like ....

Enjoy your cruise!

I did, two months ago when I bought a Tag Aquaracer for my son’s 21st. They were good to their word.

I was thoroughly confused by this post....and then I got it. That's why they're there, they know you're trapped and just by sheer nature will have to circle back several times a day past the store....

Nice story, I have to be careful about the ‘it’s not real money’ argument. Lol

And here’s the Rolex display. 😀
Haha.
Funny enough they do have a couple of display cases with pre-owned Rolex’s. No Stainless sports models though.
They also stock Hublot and Tag Heuer.

That's just the regular production Moonwatch that comes with the ridiculous box

I was on the Celebrity Reflection (a Royal Caribbean company) last December and they had stand alone Omega and Breitling mini-boutiques with a pretty good selection of models. Standard price was 15% off and another 10% credit voucher for use in any of the on board shops. Not bad. I was toying with one of the Omegas they had but ended up buying a CK 2998 blue panda at an AD in Aruba. They also had a half dozen or so watches at 30% off, one was a Mark II Olympic edition from Rio. Tempted, but didn't whip out the room card to purchase. It's a pretty smart attempt to corral people in a captive environment. I think I saw about two fewer watches in the cases at the end of the cruise, so they do have some action. Was nice to stroll in at any time and have a browse at their stock. They had about 8-10 Speedmasters in various flavors including the standard moon watch in the 'suitcase'.

For a second I thought that might be the ‘after’ shit (post shopping spree). Thought you’d gone ‘overboard’ on the sea pass card😁
