Mike was in town yesterday for a little ‘watch business’ and we held a special dinner for him.
Over the years, I have had the pleasure to communicate with Mike via phone and e-mail, but never in person.
Mike, it was great to finally meet you in person and shake your hand. You are truly a gentleman and worthy of all the praise that has been written about you. I am proud to call you my friend!!!!!
OK, so here are the photos……………………………..
Mike’s first encounter with the amazing 249
From the left – Pierre, Charles, and Marc:
From left – Angelo A, Jeff, and Angelo P:
I think that Angelo is one of the few guys that the XXL sized Panerai shirt will fit, LOL!!!!!!!
Mike is ‘double fisting’ with the 249’s!!!
It was also a special moment for Serge as he prepares to open a ‘new’ package!!!!!
One more box to open Serge, LOL!!!!!!!!!
Yesssssssssssssss, looking good with the 217, BIG CONGRATS!!!!!!
Daniel & I swapped watches. Just a little too much bling for me, and oh, I usually don’t wear ‘girlie watches’, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Daniel, you know I’m just joking)
How does it feel to be wearing a real man’s watch????!!!!!!!!! LOL
There was a lot of ‘horse trading’ going on…………

OK, I came to the realization that the 217 is not for me (I mean no disrespect to any 217 owner!!!!)
