Sorry, I cannot agree with your point.

Congrats Desmond, I got an 16610v from HK about a week ago and the LV was just couple thousands more which worked out to be $250aus rather than 500. The price is so much better than here. I love my new Sub and I wish I got the LV as well. Congratulations again.

Hi Desmond,

Great to meet you and your family today! I'm glad to have met you and now I know I have another friend in Singapore.

You're a smart man to buy the Mrs. her purse and your son the Power Ranger before meeting up with me

Wear it in good health and enjoy the rest of your stay in Hong Kong.

Cheers,

Eric

Major Correction...!!!!!

It wasnt just a purse boy how I wish it was.

The thing you saw in a BIG BRWON CARRIER was a LV Bag.

Anyway it was really nice to meet someone like you and as what you have mentioned you definetly have a friend from Singapore anything you need just give me a shout.

I feel your pain, my friend. My wife recently picked up something called a Chanel 2.5?? Costs as much as my EXPI - sheesh, at least she doesn't comment on my purchases

Hi Eric!
One of the reasons why I'm still holding up on my decision on the Pam is because wifey agrees to buy a Pam if that li'l lamb skin 2.5 bag comes along with it
It's not that I do not agree on having those expensive bags... but it would be like her 6-8 bags?
Well as the saying goes like...
Watches are for Mens as bags are for the ladies. Wish they hold their values like our watches!

Carlos my friend - looks like we need to meet up soon, and we'll get our wives together so they can take care of each other while we go watch shopping!

Yes 2.5 in Lamb Skin - now I recall, not that I don't pay attention...at least I got the brand and model number correct
