What an amazing first GTG! I picked a great one to start with!

Enjoy the pics


*** Panerai Boutique, Beverly Hills ***
Our change to see the 339 in the flesh. This was my first exposure to other Ristis. I hung out for about 20 minutes and did a 6 miles walk.




*** II Fornaio, Del Mar Plaza, Del Mar ***
What a great place! I can see myself going back if I'm ever in the area. All of the food for amazing! Although I heard the check was a bit dry I had the ravioli.






*** La Jolla ***
A couple photos of La Jolla



CJ Charles AD in La Jolla. Great selection of PAM's! Really great! Even dupes.



Non-Panerai Watch Event. It was a fun time. Love watching Nad get his new Orange "Not For Sale" watch.



*** The 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant, San Diego ***






Micah - My favorite strap maker




Frank - I hope to get more time with you in the future. Thank you for sharing that wonderful piece and allowing me to check it out.




Kevin - So nice to meet you. Thank you bringing that great pair with you! It was a pleasure meeting you and Anu. I look forward to our next meeting.


I wonder who made this strap? Hmmm


Talk about some good food - oh yes! I should have eaten more

Hammer's sharing his story. I felt very lucky to be here for this. I had no idea. Thank you so much brother!




*** Las Costa Resort, Carlsbad ***
What a great place to stay! This place is on my A list for a visit some day.








Nice pic Kevin!
