Unexpected addition.
Well, I was in Auckland NZ for 3 days, all thanks to JJ's recommendation, I went to Mansors for a quick look and took this one beauty home... Totally unexpected...
   With the 16710...  Obligatory wrist shot...  BTW, I noticed that the "=" is not italicised and there is plenty of space between the "ft" and "3" in the signature. |

Did you talk to the famous David Mansor? Did you drop JJ's name?
Nice watch!

It was a short business trip and was working my a$$ off the first 2 days. I did call JJ and had a chat and asked his opinions about the 2 ADs in Auckland. Decided to check out Mansors as they have a Rolex certified watchmaker there as I want to get the black bezel for the GMT2 I'm wearing. So final day when all the work was done I got 2 hours before flight home and went there - first thing, they don't sell extra insert and if I want one they can only swap! Well, just look around then. Man, they got a large collection of rollies and in the end spotted the 14060M COSC. Got a very good deal out of it duty free (I'm a "tourist"). Yes, I did speak with David, but I didn't drop JJ's name, even he gave me permissions. Anyway, David got his courier to deliver the watch to the airport within 1 hour. Overall they gave me very good service/discounts and was very friendly, unlike THG here in Melbourne. Next time I go Auckland definitely will meet up with JJ and visit Mansors again!
