Icon20 There is something special about a Blue 16613... >>>>>>>

You get lost in the dial... different shades under the sun... so elegant and classic... I guess that is why it is one of the most recognized Rolex Subs in the world... a true timeless classic..

Hi Eduardo! It will be nice to have you here. Just send a PM when you are ready to come. May be we can arrange to have a cup or coffe or a meal, and enjoy some watch chatting.

This place is doing fine, except for security issues. This is something the Government has not paid attention to, and looks like it is not in their plans. Too bad for this wonderful Country!!

Now, you´ll enjoy here wonderful places, great food and drink. Not cheap as in precious years though. We have big inflation rates in dollars here!

Hope you´ll enjoy your trip though. Best cordial regards, Abel.

Gorgeous!

That's high on my list of watches I'll finance next.

This was my last financed purchase...


Here it is before I removed all the stickers...


I paid it off in three easy payments of thousands each.

You have great taste.
