I am going to the mall this weekend with the same bunch probably this one last time.

I am going to see the Glashutte and other watches.
My buddy who got the Spector still wants the TAG.
And our third friend wants to get something with carbon fiber.

Stay tuned!

You're beginning to make me jealous

astcell · 28 December 2006, 09:25 PM

Hey if anyone wants to paypal me some pocket change I'll be sure to upgrade to one better. That solid Gold Daytona did smile at me I think....

Blue Bull · 29 December 2006, 12:09 AM

The Mall,AGAIN.... ??

I say...Robert,I am sure when you and QE2 (Queen Lizzie of the UK,Common Wealth,the Empire and so on and so forth ...) arrive together at that Mall...They are going to roll out the red carpet and say..."Sir Robert,your selection of watches awaits you ... " Where as(s) poor Lizzie will be told.. "Hey,YOU,Lizzie... stand in line.. !!

astcell · 29 December 2006, 01:09 AM

Yea I kinda expect a parking spot by now...

astcell · 31 December 2006, 08:21 AM

I had no trip to the mall today, instead I got to do something I have never done before, and that is, sign a bomb.

Remember the B1-B?

Yes these pictures were authorized!

That's me in the cammies

Autograph time!

Next time I'll draw a Rolex crown too, ooh but what about trademark violations when the bomb crosses the border!

Tomorrow the mall!

C.J. · 31 December 2006, 08:48 AM

Hell, you can visit the mall anytime. How often do you get to sign a little piece of payback

JJ Irani · 31 December 2006, 01:51 PM

Thanks for the great pics, Robert. You still look like a tosser!!

Blue Bull · 31 December 2006, 02:29 PM

Why does that bomb look so 'rusty' ... ??

Well, the Geneva convention doesn't require us to wash and polish the bombs before we drop the them.

Can you draw a happy face on the bomb and write Happy new year on them? I like to get a picture of that if possible.

astcell · 31 December 2006, 09:08 PM

Actually the bomb casing are just meant to hold the parts in, they are very rough. It is not rust, it just isn't Rolex quality.

Lol-x · 31 December 2006, 09:20 PM

Good luck watch shopping Robert

Careful as you go on that bomb with the pen, I'd hate to see it detonate!

Happy New Year

The mall tonight was PACKED! It is Eid and everyone is shopping. Rolexes were selling like nobody's business.

And get this. 116713, the one I just bought, went up in price by US$1,033!!! yep, that great deal I got is gone and now the price is very close to the USA price (but still a better deal).

I am going to try to go back tomorrow. They did not have the Glashutte in, but I did see an IWC diving watch in titanium that is rated to 2000 meters!

Glad you got in under the price increase wire, Robert.

Blue Bull · 1 January 2007, 12:05 PM

116713 ... Nice watch,Robert !!

astcell · 7 January 2007, 07:51 AM

Hit the mall tonight with my friends. I expect to leave here next week. The Glashutte came in:

I am not crazy over the moon thingie. They are a little higher priced than Alan Furman. Some dealing got them down to $3600.

So I walk over to the Rolex dealer. They have this and that but nothing exciting. I see the TT Blue Sub. Hey the GMT Anniversary is better! I find out a few thnigs:

This version of watches, 2007-2008, has a different clasp. There is no part that flips over to lock down the band, but rather the part to pull up on faces the other way and it works like a seat belt! Very pretty.

I see some Rolexes that are meant for national Delegates. Sweet! One is SS Oyster band but the center links are buffed to a sheen. The watch is a DJ and the face is very rare, so they say. It is all black but has a starburst effect radiating from the center. Light catches the radiating lines and it is always shining, no matter what way it faces, due to all the angles created by the sunburst. The bezel is fluted and gold. My price is $5300.

Of course I looked at many other watches but these two stood out. Looked at a white faced DJ too with a jubilee band. This band is now for 2007-2008 too. The links are solid and will not stretch like the old ones.

I like the hands on the Glashutte and the dial on the DJ. Still undecided.

Hi Robert,

I know the DJ you're talking about....seen it at Mansor's. Very beautiful. Don't know however about the time readability with that fancy dial. Good luck in your final decision, my friend.

Cheers - JJ

PS: If you think the new GMT-II is better than the TT Blue Sub....you're not only a tosser....you might even be right (in your own way, of course!)

How about this: TTGMTIIA for north of the equator, TTSUBBF for south of the equator!
