A delightful visit to Mansor's this morning!!

Hi guys,

NO!! I'm not buying another Rolex. Just went over this morning (Saturday) to say hello to David (Mansor) and all my friends and cleavages there!!

Actually, I went there to make some price enquiries on behalf of one of our TRF members. David, as always, was extremely helpful and friendly. He even took me on a whirlwind tour of his superbly equipped workshop on the mezzanine floor of his premises. VERY IMPRESSIVE INDEED!!

You could easily make a very short list (if possible) of what he DOES NOT have in stock. His spare parts inventory is mind-blowing. The arrangement of each and every little spare is immaculate in special flat plan cabinets. Each little part is individually packed in a plastic pack with the ROLEX name and logo on it. He showed me the special 3135 cabinet with all the crowns, crystals, rotors, etc. pertaining ONLY to the 3135 movement. Very absorbing!!

He even had a drawer full of GMT bezels, various links, clasps, etc. What a well-stocked inventory!

And surprise, surprise....he actually told me that he sells more DJs than the sports models. The TT DJ is the fastest seller from his shop...Asian customers being the bulk buyers.

All in all, a very pleasant morning with David...such a nice, humble man with such a vast knowledge on the subject. I wish some day, at least some of you guys can come my way and visit Mansor's Jewellers!! It would be worth it!!

Cheers - JJ

Just getting ready for your next flip, right? We all know the signs. Stop in at Mansor's to just "browse" around and talk to your friends. Right!! Are we going to have to guess at what the next one is going to be and which one is going to get flipped for it?

Hey guys,

You got it all wrong!!

I seriously went over to check out prices requested over PM to me by one of our members. Of course, it was also an excuse to take a nice long tour of his newly renovated and updated service facility on the mezzanine floor!

Sure, sure. And if anyone believes that, I've got a couple of very nice bridges connecting some prime real estate that I'm willing to let go for way under market value.
