Jos is in town

[Hamilton Carvalho]

I finally met Jos today at the Apple Store on 5th Avenue where we agreed to meet! Really nice guy! We start the New York tour at the Apple Store, which he found to be fabulous. In the store Jos spotted a couple of Rolexes and as we left the Store we saw a red Sub (no, we didn't have anything better to do other than check other people's wrist). We tried to communicate with each other on the way to Tiffany but we kept interrupting each other so we could check the wrists of everybody who crossed our ways. At Tiffany we found out that the store wouldn’t be open until 12:00 PM so we went to Sony store to check the technology over there. Our third stop was Tourneau store, Jos was impressed with the store and he really had a nice time there. Next stop was Patek Phillipe at Tiffany. Of all the places we went Tiffany was the best, we were treated with a lot of respect. Even though we didn't buy anything, Tiffany was class A+++++++. Before we went to the Patek Salon we check some Tiffany watches. Nice watches but very expensive, price tag start at $45,000.00 to $125,000.00. The salesman was very nice and had no problem taking the watches out and showing it to us. Jos felt in love with the Tiffany Minute Repeater priced at $125,000.00. Even tough Jos didn’t buy the watch the salesman gave us two bags so we could carry the magazine we got from Tourneau. At Patek Phillipe Salon we spent about 1 hour talking to the sales person about Patek and other brands and we just felt like home. The experience was great; if I ever buy a Patek I will certainly buy it at Tiffany. BTW I found out that the salesman I met at the Patek Salon two weeks ago bought a Rolex GMT IIC after he saw mine. I was glad to know that my Rollie motivated him to buy one. The next stop was at Saks Fifth Avenue. Then, I brought him home to meet my family and have lunch together. It was really nice meeting somebody from TRF, we had a lot of fun! Jos took a lot of pics and I’m sure he’ll post them soon.
