no, and this way i wouldn’t have to! It really caught my eye for some reason and i haven’t been able to shake it. I’m a sucker for Bell & Ross though (mainly due to my aviation/fighter jet passion).

i went to a customs auction today and there were two pan’s there.

a 8-day GMT and a Pan Ferrari Chrono… both went for $7k

They also had a full 18k seamaster with a $42k msrp that went for under $10k.

I didnt hang around enough for the Pateks.

Zenith’s don’t hold their value that well though. They were 30% off over the counter at Sawgrass Mills when i was there at the Tag outlet.

They make a good watch though, if you’re not planning on flipping it you could use that to your advantage.

^I don’t plan on flipping it, but it’s always a bit comforting to know a watch holds its value if I wish to trade it in. However, I really want another Bell & Ross, but it’s a little bit stupid to have 2 watches that are so similar, but they are so distinct.

you went to sawgrass mills while you were down here? Nice, i’ve heard it’s nice and have driven by it several times, but never stopped. I’m going by there again Monday, maybe i’ll stop. What else is there?

Sawgrass mills is basically the best mall that i’ve ever been to.

my brother bought a rad margiela suit there when we were there. I only picked up a BBBF shirt at neiman marcus but i could have spent more if i had had the time.

the Canali outlet has some pretty rad stuff. the barney’s is the best barney’s outlet there is… tons of redic stuff in there. The mall has the only Malo, Loro Piana, Ferragamo, Canali, Prada, and Villebrequin outlets that i know of… for some of those brands it’s the only outlet that the whole brand has in north america. I bought my wife a pair of pants at Malo… regular $475, on for $40… 🙂 walk in there and tell me how surprised you are by how expensive that shit it. The Neiman Marcus outlet has Kiton, Isaia, Brioni, Belvest and Oxxford suits for less than half price if you look hard enough and they’re scattered throughout the store. for those not aware these are basically the highest end and most expensive off the rack suits you can buy… $2k+ for a jack and $3k - $5k for a rack suit MSRP…

the bloomingdales i’d never been into before and found some ferragamo and burberry prorsum for 80% off in there… Saks had some Isaia and Versace for super cheap too but it’s not quite as good as the Neiman Marcus…
