Great Sunday morning in Auckland...met a TRFite!!

[JJ Irani]

Hi guys,

It's Sunday afternoon right now, but this morning was a very nice one.

Robin Holland (user name on TRF - robin) sent me a PM saying that he was in town and if we could meet up over a coffee or what. He left me his number in Auckland so I called him and we met up at the St. Lukes mall for coffee and a nice TWO-HOUR chat.

Guess what, guys? Robin went into Mansor's on Friday afternoon and picked up NOT one Rolex, but TWO beauties...the Ultimate 16610 (thanks to all the recommendations I had been giving it over the forum) and the Day-Date in YG. He did mention my name there and was given excellent treatment as well as a fabulous deal...more so, as he was taking both watches out of NZ, tax free. Robin lives in Queensland, Australia.

I also took him to the NIKE shop in the mall where he picked up a few things. He flies off tonight, but he will be back a couple of months later. Robin is an ex-Kiwi from Auckland who went off to Australia in '98 and is settled there now. He's a doctor, BTW, guys....and a wonderful person to be in the company of.

Great morning for both of us. I do wish more TRFites would come my way!!

Cheers - JJ
