Friggin' mind boggling.

ADDITIONS:

I'm liking the Breguet, the others, not so much, especially the ultra blacked-out TW Steel.

So much cool stuff, lots of not so cool stuff! That floor plan/map is great!!

How are spots chosen? Who decides what vendors go where?

Going thru the vendors one noticeable omission ( or maybe I just missed it)...no Panerai!?

Another GREAT day of new watches !!!
Have to say that first Volna is EXTRA sinister and cool !
The way the red accents look against that black or gun
metal finish is perfect. There is even some red on the
bezel, which was a nice addition...The second Volna,
is pretty unique imho ! The yellow, along with those
signs on the dial is something different. It's not for
everyone I guess, but it's still eye-catching..With the
TX watches, they always seem to impress me because
they look SO well made and also have AMAZING designs.
Not to mention that they look like high end watches too.
The dials are usually VERY deep and have some REALLY
cool hands, markers and decoration as well. REAL nice !
..With Nautica it's the same thing as TX. With both of
these Nauticas, you seem to get bang for the buck.
Terrific dials and subdials, cases, hands, markers, and
even a rotating inner bezel on the one model ! ..With
the Aerowatch models I have to say these are phenomenal
as well. I know they have or make pocket watches and
these watches have some AWESOME character about them.
Cool cases, terrific crowns, excellent dials, and some nice
yellow touches with the hands and stitching. I think the skeleton
model is stunning as well..JUST flawless with all of the movement
decoration. The Bauer and Bulova are just as NICE imho.
I REALLY like the finish of the case, and those blue hands on
the Bauer. Along with the Roman numerals and how they look
on the Bulova skeleton ! ..The Breguet is cool because of the
way it manages to have alot on the dial without looking busy.
Plus the overall design is great. Even that red hand is interesting.
..The TW Steels have their cool and distinct BIG, aggressiveness !
However, some exposed screws add a twist, which is nice and the
dials seem more detailed also ! ..Then with the Corum, I think
the case shape is fantastic, as is the way the markers seem to
move from the dial right onto the chapter ring ! Great stuff !
Every one of these have a different theme, but they all have one
thing in common..Their FUN to look at !!! ..Thanks again !

If you only had one day, a plan of attack would have to be mapped out before hand. That looks like a two or three day expo.
