My pleasure JJ, just had to do a close up of the Subs as I know how much u love them! And from reading the threads here seems u love them more than sheep

There were at least another 20 more watches inside but I didn't dare take any more pics as they may thought I was "casing the joint".

Oh I did go in and ask about prices but they were not prepared to budge on the prices at all

Then you need to come to Auckland and buy a watch. Mansor's can budge like hell on just about any watch, especially the TT and YG models.

Thanks once again for those pics. That TT Blue never ceases to fascinate and make me drool all over again. What a beauty!!

JJ, think the air fare from the UK would cost more than I could save on a discount from Mansors

Off on holiday to the States in October so may see what's on offer there.

My wildest dream is to have a DD in platinum, I'm not a wild fan of the sports watches although do have an Explorer II with a white face but my fav at the momnet is my TT DJ with the new jubilee hidden clasp

Thanks for sharing!! I still think the blue 16613 is a knockout, even if it was too loud on my wrist.

Nice one JJ, with advancing years I don't so much drool these days as dribble

Still prefer to have a white dial with roman numerals on my DD just wish they did one with roman numerals and some luminous hands and markers

91, I believe that is the one Uncle has/had. Not sure if he sold it yet or not.

It's definitely my next watch , no time soon, mind you. I'm just not sure if the 44mm is going to look alright on me, and I don't like it in the 40mm.

I have yet to hear anyone regret buying the 44. It is a beautiful watch with a cool function on the dial. All you have to do is try it on to know it is not at all too big.

Something about that black dial appearance thru the crystal. Hard to explain. I have a lot of nice looking watches, but the Rolex SD and the LV have that certain look. I had a PAM111 and it just didn't make it for me. I had a ton of straps for it too. That was fun, but I prefer the SD and LV.
