What, Me Worry?
You're not doing it right then. If there's one thing I can guarantee you, when done right, Advantage Play is anything but boring or lonely.
Of course, that's one of the reasons why I liked working with other people, Partners, teams, employees, etc., because there's always something fun along the way.
For example, just one small incident of many fun times. You're playing a daily promotion, and after a few days, playing next to Louie Anderson, he starts hitting on your partner; it's like totally obvious. Louie Anderson invites me and my wife to dinner, of course, my partner is invited too.
Oh come on, don't be so naive, cuz I know you're not, you're actually a very smart guy, those things are either fake or they do not belong to him. However, I do believe the gold coins(which are not very much in reality, I have a bunch of gold coins and silver as well but who cares) are real.
Did this promotion have to do with blackjack? I ask because I have a Louie Anderson interaction I have told before playing blackjack in Atlantic City 20 years ago. I got the impression he liked the game of blackjack, although he was working the casino at the time, so he could have just been killing time before or after a show.
Axelwolf, at one time, pretty early on, you had a theory that Dawg was some kind of high end watch sales rep, which is why he had access to all those watches, and what lead to some of his good treatment from casinos, as he would have been serving their high rolling clients. Just curious, have you dismissed that possibility?
Dan Druff: "there's no question that MDawg has been an obnoxious braggart, and has rubbed a ton of people the wrong way. There's something missing from his stories. Either they're fabricated, grossly exaggerated, or largely incomplete".
This has been talked about on WOV, go check it out it's funny. He hit on DJatc(or whatever his screen name is). We were playing a VP promo, I think it was double royals at the Plaza. I bet Dj forgets how well he did on his first promotion at Vegas Club that we got involved with.

Just curious, have you dismissed that possibility?[/QUOTE] I don't dismiss anything other than the fact that MDawg is mostly full of shit. He has proven nothing other than the fact that he was able to take advantage of a good situation with medium-level bets. (I do respect the fact that he did show up and do his buissness)
I have countless pictures, jackpots, cash, gold, silver, luxury watches, fancy rooms, sports bets, winning accounts, etc, etc. It's all meaningless unless you understand the circumstances behind it.
When it comes to a low end has been like A. Wolf, the phrase "pearls before swine" is quite apposite. If A.Wolf even knew what the word apposite means, he never made it past about a fourth grade level of reading.
I mean we're talking about a guy who bought a land locked piece of land in BFE and then crowed about how he had "arrived" - the equivalent of trailer trash extolling that they finally made it the level of a double wide. I am happy for him that he finally owns something not in Northeast Vegas, but please.
No, don't buy a fake Rolex. They are not like the real thing, no matter what you may think.
Fake Rolexes are made in different places, including in China. And anyone who knows anything much about these watches, knows that the counterfeits, even the best of them, are demonstrably different from the real thing, including in looks, movement, metallurgy and weight.
If you watch this video all the way through, you'll understand how special fine timepieces are compared to counterfeits.
I posted just some of my watches, I have many. Looking at buying another one around mid five figures shortly. I generally buy only pre-owned from gray market dealers I know well, I do not over pay. I get great deals and the time pieces then become investments. Who will sell them? My heirs no doubt.
I do not have any F.P. Journe's. I do have watches like Pateks, Breguets, Jaeger Le Coultre, Audemars Piguet. Also Cartiers, Breitlings, Hublots, Franck Mullers, and others.
I am not so interested in F.P. Journe but I am interested in acquiring some Vacheron Constantins and A Lange & Sohne. If you really want to look at some watches that hold their value alongside Rolexes, look at A Lange & Sohnes.
I considered Richard Mille but I think they are just overpriced. Plus I am not particularly interested in their design or look. Hublot is fine though, and not all of them, just certain very high end models, including I have a Hublot platinum tourbillon.
As far as Rolexes, did you notice the older four digit Daytonas I posted? Very low key looking, but those are all worth six figures or more each now, and when I acquired them were valued at maybe only 10% of that. Many of the vintage Rolexes skyrocket like that.
You might take a look at some older Omegas, vintage. Here is one that is gold filled (not solid), I found for sale online today, that is cool:
and not very expensive (around a thou). I would not be shy about wearing a watch like that, it is a very nice watch in its own right.
Before you toss a brand name out there like F.P. Journe do your research, and understand the difference between for example F.P. Journe, Blancpain, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger LeCoultre, Ulysses Nardin and A Lange & Sohne, and why one might pick one over the other for a specific movement or complication.
People like to talk about things that get them excited. For me that would include women, watches and Vegas, but I keep the women talk to a minimum, at least online, being married.
There are two reason to use a watch winder. One, as you mention, is so that you don't have to keep setting the time. Or date (imagine for example a complicated watch like a perpetual calendar, I have both a Patek and Audemars perpetual calendar, they require a bit of effort to set).
The other, is that mechanical watches, like automobiles, run best when they are run every now and then. Leave them alone, and their mechanisms tend to dry out. So if you can't wear the watch or wind and run it every now and then, a watch winder does that for you.
As far as buying from the Rolex AP (you are already getting the lingo down!) in the casinos, at least one of them knows me well and I have bought from at least two of them. However, none is owned by the actual casino (any longer), so having clout in the casino only gets you so far these days. For the most part, there are only certain watches you want to buy from the AP these days, such as stainless Daytonas, where the MSRP is well below the retail value, the rest, you may get a better deal going gray (market).

You sure you weren't sold some swampland that you convinced yourself is worth something?
Sure it was a real river?
During the Twenties, real estate operators brought trainloads of prospects down to the Valley and let them pick grapefruit right off the trees and eat it. One of these pioneer promoters is said to have constructed a large artificial lake and sold plots all around it. "The lake will sub-irrigate your groves." As soon as the last sale closed, he turned off the water and disappeared with his lake, leaving the prospects sitting there in a desert.
How do you know it was "insider information" and not just a smooth operator telling marks what they want to hear.

Do you want to know the reality/truth or just troll whatever I say? You can claim whatever you want, but I can prove differently, as people have been there. It's also documented and I can prove what im saying.
If you are willing to stop your tolling, I dont mind giving the good, the bad, and the ugly. IE, the California place has good and bad.
Why would I take anything you say seriously, when you just make up nonsense on the spot routinely claiming to be knowledgable about most any topic that arises. You know next to nothing about watches, and yet you inject your nonsense into discussions about them. You know next to nothing about table games or high end play or casino policies about AML, and yet you inject your nonsense into discussions about these topics too.
We could say this about you too, alongside UNKewlJ:
Interrupting people and always trying to be the center of attention only works among the unknowing. Among serious men, you just make people pause, and wonder who this guy thinks he is.

So avoid my question with BS.
I proved to Mike with audio and pictures regarding CTR they said they were CTRing me and they even gave me paperwork. ASK HIM. I sent him all the proof. Report to us the situation. You won't do that since it would prove you wrong. You will just claim this or that. I'm not saying that's the norm, Im saying it can and does happen. Whatever you think can or can't be done isn't always the case. Mike wondered why I was even sending him this information, as he didn't think it was out of the ordinary.
Haha, I knew I had the Richard Miller wasn't spelled right .. Mueller's watches seem tacky to me.
F.P. Journes from what I've read and my limited experience are also likely very good investements although I suspect it is already priced in. I really don't know what I'm talking about as I was also under the impression that F.P. Journes had really long power reserves and doing an AI query I might very well be wrong. It doesn't matter - these watches are far outside what I'm willing to spend on a watch.
The thing about Rolex is that 1/2 the time you see someone wearing it, it is assumed faked. The best fakes high-quality rolex clones have to be opened up to tell. If it breaks, it won't be any more expensive to replace than having the Rolex repaired. Infact, it might use a movement that can be repaired cheaper? Since I will not have some internal/mental issues wearing a fake watch that no naked eye can tell (or super rare if someone can) then why bother spending 10x as much?
I also don't think watches are a very good investment although when compared to other men's toys they hold their value quite well. Don't take a lot to store, etc etc. If you really know the market and have a lot of historical experience then maybe?
AD in relation to the name Rolex is a very common acronym due to the variety of games the ADs play. Anyway, it has been a fun hobby for me.
As far as fake Rolexes, among one's peer group, it is not assumed that the watch is fake, as the fakes really don't look like the real thing to the trained eye, especially the precious metal ones. The fakes that try to look like they are solid gold for example, look atrocious.

Said the guy who owed multiple people money and ghosted them for almost a year. His excuse (heard by at least 10 diffrent people), I thought you guys were in the mob, and I was scared. He needed a scapegoat and a reason he didn't pay and disappeared.
Mdawg, I would even be willing to let YOU hear all the details of the situation and make a decision. I offered that many times, and he declined. I have 2 independent witnesses of the real situation.
