Been to Mama's a couple times during previous Maui visits and could not have been happier. Enjoyed another dinner there Sunday night [wife's birthday request] and was not disappointed. I'd put Mama's in the top 5 restaurants I've had the pleasure to experience.
And going back Thursday night.

My last visit there was 2006 and back then you could actually walk in and buy an stainless steel Rolex. Ah, the good ol' days. The salesman said he gets about 20 requests a day for the Daytona and admitted they hold inventory for their best customers. They had a pretty solid preowned selection, 16710's, pre ceramic Daytonas, DJ's, & DD's.
Although no Tudor GMTs, very nice selection of Heritage & Black Bay chronographs, and BB divers of every description. Again, I was really impressed w/ the P01. The blue Pelagos still stuck out for me as the most desirable [been eyeing one for some time]. The ridiculously innovative clasp, Ti comfort, matte blue ceramic lumed bezel, and stunning blue dial really make for an amazing package.
