r11co Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 I'm sure the salesgirl was only interested in your large............ wallet!
manuel Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 LOL Manuel John Lobb, I guess it's not just England's finest John Lobb has recently opened a shop in Madrid. Please tell me which are England's finest shoes besides John Lobb and Church's.. Crocket and Jones are very good shoes too. Weston are good shoes too. I am sorry I cant remember greater shoes. But please dont mention Hermes boots by custom order because they are extremely rare. I like alden suede tassel loafers..They're the original ones! Thanks to the low dollar they are becoming more affordable. But...I think John Lobb is England's finest..
Davey Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Its always a good feeling! I love getting AD's to go to the safe and get the "Good stuff" out.. now thats a good feeling lol!
plaifender Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Posted June 21, 2007 On another note... While the woman was showing me the watches on the couch. we got up walked around and she showed me a few more watches on display in the door.. one of which happened to be a pam213 rattrapante. We sit back down with the Pam Rattrapante and the ChronoEVO on the couch. On the table are lying both beautiful watches. At that point my girlfriend calls me and I excuse myself from the couch leaving my briefcase next to the coffeetable. When I hung up the phone the lovely Assistant Laura was no longer on the couch but behind her desk finding something. I tell her that i have to leave and that it had been a pleasure. I give her a customary handshake and say goodbye to her. On my way out I pick up my briefcase next to the coffee table and both watches are in plain view just laying there as before.... Don't get me wrong, i would never steal anything like that, but after walking out of the store, i thought about how easy it could have been to snatch the 2 lovely

plaifender Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Posted June 21, 2007 i know i shouldn't have.. But i was just expressing the carelessness of the way these sales people treat these wonderful mechanical works of art. Not that they should have been worried about anything, but a coffee table is no place to leave a

azerbyjam Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Senor, You see you too can be a zorro like me. Does anyone else think that would make a great t-shirt?
ximenes Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Even a skilled thief would have been captured by the various cameras shots (unless you go in with a bandanna, sunglasses, fake mustache and other accessories, lol). In short, they WILL find you.... Theres a small jeweler in The Hague, The Netherlands, which has 4 security doors, biggest hassle to get in/out of ever. And its in an expensive street and his selection is VERY limited. They were, no doubt, watching you with cameras hoping you would try to take them so they could pummel you and put the video on the web for us all to enjoy.

manuel Posted June 22, 2007 Report Posted June 22, 2007 Does anyone else think that would make a great t-shirt? Here in Spain tru zorros like me dont wear t-shirts very often. The warmth and softness of women like Maria or Lusia is ok for a zorro.

spooky driver Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 red i cant believe you made me read that all again
plaifender Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Posted October 1, 2009 actually yes, I have been back. Never saw the girl Laura again that worked there though... :-( I went with my dad this past year. he ended up with an IWC Mark (can't remember what roman numerals it is). It's funny that this got started back up!
