Is anyone going to the Damiani event at IW Marks in Houston?

Search this site for the baton info, every country they went to threw a big Ferrari gathering.......dunno where it was here in USA I didn't see it.

You can buy the baton from Ferrari and Puma offers a T shirt series with the icons from it by decade, so there's a fifties shirt, a 60's shirt etc.......

Here's the V8 engine Icon I liked it.....

Sounds great! I'll put this on my calendar and will most likely be there. Anyone else???

 

I think the last place I should take my girlfriend is to IW Marks, but I may go to hang out and so she can meet some of you that I have talked about.

 

Well, there will be food and drinks. Not sure what kind of drinks, but I remember for the Damiani event last year we had an actual bar tender instead of the regular wine and champagne for the other functions. Miss Texas will also be there. It should be fun.
As for girlfriends and wives who aren't into cars, there are lots of things to look at in order to entertain them while you all shoot the breeze
As far as I know, there is only the print advertising and invitations that have been sent out. Although, I did see this small article [link]http://www.prleap.com/pr/102176/[/link] talking about it. According to the article, that's when G. Damiani will be making his "Persona Appearance."
If any of you have any questions please ask, and I'll do my best to find the answer if I don't already know it offhand.

My girl wants a 5 carat diamond ring. Give me a price range of what you have with good clarity, etc. I told her if I get her this, I'm buying a Carrera GT!

 

Ro I think you should bite the bullet so I can ride shotgun in your CGT. LMAO!!!!!

 

Leigh just PM me some prices and it looks like this ring can cost as much as half of a carrera GT itself! If I had a choice between a diamond or a CGT, CGT all the way! Women....I'll never understand.

 

We like shiny objects, and I don't mean crumpled up foil or something like that.
A 5ct diamond is HUGE!!! We have them, though. We have items for every taste. For Halloween I even bought a necklace from the store that spelled "HOT" downward with the "OT" forming the female symbol. We have many, many things from tasteful to tacky to gaudy and downright obscene. The last big one I sold was a 3.41ct Oval, and that was incredibly big. A 5ct diamond...that's just bragging ...it'll last longer than a car, though.

*^_^*

 

IW Marks is one of houston's oldest jewelers.

Good point, about the diamond lasting longer!! LOL!

Yea, at 5 carats you might as well tie an ice cube to your finger!

I doubt they'd even cut one that large into a round ring setting, most likely have to go emerald square cut, IMO.
Or a shape suitable for a necklace.

Big Tex,

PS Who never bought a diamond in his whole life!!!!!!!

I want to talk Liegh a little more about her necklace though.......

 

i put it down on my calendar. if i have the Fcar out that day, i might stop by

 

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had a great week and will have a great weekend. I'm trying to reply to messages, but I'm right in the middle of final exams as well as working almost 60 hrs a week, ugh, so my reply pace is super slow right now. Thank you all so much for the great response!

Leigh *^_^*

 

Is this event still on and who is all going? I don't want to show up by myself if I decide to go.

 

Everybody stay home.......that way it'll just be Leigh and I, and the red Ferrari, in the picture with the Relay Baton....LOL!

I think we have:
roro
BigTex
Houston348

...confirmed for sure..and the FCA Chapter does not really register on the radar here but I'm sure they'll be represented......

You mean all alone like I was at the Willowbrook HOOTERS the other weekend....geeez you didn't even tell me it WASN'T in the Mall...I was lost for hours......well, minutes anyway before being rerouted by a parking lot Security Guard....

Never did get any Hot Wings.....

 

We will be there.

 

i probably wont make it since the Wife and I will be out fri and sat already

 

OK......wanna come by this evening and see the Rodeo Drive poster and 348 Sales Brochure?

This is Lady Valeria's "stay out of my way day'.......LOL!

 

Would it be weird if I show up with the Lambo? I mean this is more of a Ferrari event, right?

 

I'm planning to be there too. I RSVP'd already. Miss Texas will be there modeling jewelry...oh shoot, I'll have my girlfriend with me.

CP

 

My lady and I will be there. 6:00 right?

 

Roro,

...it's a salute to the designer/jeweler/constructor of the 60th Anniversary Relay Baton, that circled the globe in celebration of the history of the Company...I am very sure all exotic car drivin' future Rolex buyers are welcome!!!



Did I get all that right, Leigh??

Does IW Marks do trade-ins? I want to get a new watch.

 

Yes, that is correct. Every year, for the last 2 years, we have had a Damiani trunk show. Last year the main attraction was an over the top necklace that has been worn by Sophia Loren, a Mexican actress at the Oscars, and yours truly. The necklace also converts into a tiara. This year, the main attraction will be the Ferrari 60th Anniversary Relay Baton. They talked about it last year, and then we didn't hear anything about it again for months, and now here it is. I'm more excited about the jewelry, personally I hope that blue wave necklace I saw on the website will be here...really hoping for that one.

As for Rolex trade-ins, I'm afraid not ^^; No trade-ins. But Brad, Daniel, and everyone else with power in the store will be here, so if any sort of deals will be made on certain models, tomorrow is the time to ask.

*^_^*

...3 more finals to go @_@

 

Good luck on your tests, then........see you tomorrow!

*fingers crossed for you*

 

A girl needs a tiara....you didn't buy it?????

 

Is there a certain dress code for this event?

Not sure how long we can stay out so wemay head out there a little earlier around 5:30PM. Hope this is ok...
