A couple of complimentaries from Mansor's

Hi guys,

As you know I was at Mansor's this afternoon (took half the day off from work) and he did give me a couple of things as I was leaving...one the green Rolex pouch (he gave me two...one for Zemina as well) and a beautiful Panerai Diary.

The pouch...



and the diary...

JJ, read the Panerai history.
They started out basically in partnership with Rolex, using exclusive Rolex parts for the Italian watches.
Come on, say it with me... A Pan would make a nice addition to JJ's family...

I agree...but this time Zemina was genuinely serious too!! She said quite simply: "Listen up, JJ...you now have two of the finest Rolex has to offer - a beautiful steel and gold one as well as the one you've always admired - the Sub. Now don't you think it's high time you called it a day and settled down?"

What would YOU say to that?

Tell her "Quit bugging me, I am helping get Daren back to posting on TRF" (your words, not mine.)

Again with the quote " two of the finest" this is not the same as "THE TWO FINEST"

Anyone have a picture of JJ's orange beast? Or did he frame it on the wall next to his favorite babette?

Hey Padi,

One picture of that watch is enough for Ed. More than that and his finger starts hovering over the BAN button.

What would YOU say to that?
Now let's face it, JJ. How many times have you heard this from Zemina? I would venture to say she has probably said it after each of your last 10 flips. Have you ever listened to her? No. Are you going to start now? No.

Who are you kidding?
