We had a chance to go to a Rolex/Panerai AD as well as get a private tour of the Omega Boutique, a special thanks to our buddy Patrick who set it all up.

So here are the attendees:

BaltimoreBrian: Brian
psv: Patrick
Mike1066: Mike
RC2: Rich


We had lunch at Labanese Taverna which was great but unfortunately the lighting was terrible for pics so forgive me for the bad quality.

I said I would post the photos so here it is, enjoy TRF
How did I miss this one, David? When was it? Of course, I was probably out of town - that's usually the case with local GTG's.

Sorry my friend, I do believe I saw that you were busy this weekend. Hopefully we can have you join us on the next one. Expect a private PM for that one so I know you don't miss the thread :)

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Really the pleasure was all mine, these are great guys and I was honored to spend the day with them.

For those asking who is who in the last photo, starting from the left and going clockwise its Brian, Patrick, Rich, Mike and me.

Great collection of watches you guys had there, looks like a fun time. I was in D.C for the weekend and my fiance and I drove out to Tysons corner and Tysons Galleria on Sunday to check out some of the shops before heading home.
