Check out that tie

CHECK OUT THAT DAY DATE

I bought my wifes TT Everose gold Datejust from Denis, he was amazing to deal with and actually let her walk outside with the watch to see it in the daylight, this was prior to paying them.

I visited them several year ago when on a week vacation to St. John (took the fast ferry to St. Thomas), and then again when we took a cruise that stopped in St. Thomas.

Great store...maybe it might be worth it to take another criuse...

Thanks for sharing your experience, John.

What a great entertaining and informative thread!!!!!!

Thanks John!!

GerardoG · 9 February 2010, 02:13 AM

Thank you for the report! Nice pics!!!

ParisDakarBmw · 9 February 2010, 02:16 AM

Cool pics!

WOW, sounds like many TRFers have visited A H Riise.

Here's that neck tie Myrna AND Denis gave me

Denis gave me one because I told him I'd be back one day for the Ice Blue DDII.

Unfortunately both ties are identical, I don't want to sell the extra one, but if anyone has a NIB Rolex tie similar to the one Denis is wearing in the photo I'd be happy to trade. I'll post in buy, sell and trade topic when I get a chance.

So then after Roxanne pried me out of A H Riise I (we) stumbled upon Ginger in the Patek Philippe section of Jewels. Sorry I didn't have time to take photos, BUT let me say I didn't know you could purchase a NIB Patek Moonphase for less than $40K

I echo the sentiments about Denis and AH Riise. Very good people there.

Kapture1 · 9 February 2010, 03:01 AM

What a stunner... I absoutly love the white face on the DJ

JohnEaton · 9 February 2010, 03:17 AM

Anyway Roxanne either was not impressed by the Patek timepieces or was determined to get a microfiber tablecloth at Mr Tablecloth, and I was ripped away from the hundreds of Patek Philippe watches, Ginger and the Moonphase

Unfortunately (for her) Roxanne has absolutely no sense of direction and dragged me willingly into Diamonds International (she (having considerable estrogen in her system) has the "things that sparkle" enlarged portion of the brain) and said portion must have been in overdrive as she momentarily forgot about Mr Tablecloth. Luckily (for me) I spotted the Audemars Piguet section and this Royal Oak Chronograph and was spared staring at hundreds of seemingly identical diamonds that kept her preoccupied.

So I took this photo

Agreed

JohnEaton · 9 February 2010, 03:33 AM

Carlos was showing me the Royal Oak Chrono pictured here:

A hefty watch, the 18K YG had considerable presence.

And then Max Rodriguex, his manager came by and said if you like that one you will probably love this one:

That's not PVD, that's carbon.

Max and I talked watches for maybe ten minutes while Roxanne was distracted by the sparkly things and I thanked him and Carlos for their time and told them I am a member of TRF and that I blog about watches and asked if I could take their picture.

And like WIS anywhere they showed off their timepiece, smiled and complied.

JohnEaton · 9 February 2010, 03:35 AM

Got to get back to work and get some hospital beds moved around.

Hope to talk to everyone here soon.

Sorry for the delay in the reply, I had another truck load of Hospital beds to pick up.

In response to your question and also PMs I have emailed Max for best price and payment / shipping information.

Here is another photo of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Special Edition model 26176FO.OO.D101CR.01 for you.

Just learned about the forged carbon... interesting

JimC · 9 February 2010, 02:56 PM

I've not seen anything like that before... Pretty cool. There wouldn't be many who would have the same watch.

Another occasion when I'm glad I hang out here. Thanks, John, for sharing your trip with the community.
