...I can't believe it..?

The results are in

I gave more than 26 Rolex watches away ..FREE..??

Relax..lol.
I got some terrific business contracts in exchange.

The good part is that a few TRF members got good bargains
Just because some of my deals did not go through !

But hey ...I am happy to oblige even at a loss...lol

So what's the big deal you say...

Well....I "got me" an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
City of sails chronograph with the Alinghi logo Ref: 259790.

I feel 7.3 tall... today (5.9 on normal days)...

Nice.
The AP ROO crowd is even more over the top than the Paneristi. I had one for a short while but didn't love the model. Going to get a Navy (Navi) or Safari with the new movement later this summer. They are great watchs, wear in good health.

Finally, a Bentley owner willing to acknowledge it.. I had an '04 Phaeton for 3 years, best car I've ever driven. A friend has a Continental GT, and it pissed him off to no end when I told him that I had the 4 door, V8 version of his $185k marvel - but I was leasing mine for $599 a month.

So true on the Phaeton. I guess people just couldn't deal with paying that much for a VW.

Yo, TK quite the wheels and the watch ain't too bad either.
I never realized you were such a player.
You lease that bad boy or you that flush?
Got to pay you total respect no matter.
Next time I'm in so Fla, love to meet....my boy lives in Coral Gables near the Grove and I'm always spinning through there.

Hey, cool watch Tasos.

Please explain the car. Is it a Bentley or not. Sorry, I'm a bit thick.
