AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Anyway, I'll keep this much shorter without the yapping and off with the pictures.** I would like to share some pictures of the mini Socal GTG on March 07th, 2009. Our Honorary Guest Daytona4Me flew in for the weekend to hang with the gang. D4M in a true gentleman with a great sense of humor. I even caught him with my glasses trying to represent himself as a "West Coast Popped Collar OG Gangster Preppy".......... East Coast style......LOL!! Anyway, off the the GTG event. In attendance were: Daytona4Me Legendofspeed Jake48 550Bryan CzarCzar Avitt Projectologist and yours truly I had a great time at the GTG. Lot of laughs over decent food, nice watches and best of all, great friends FYI, I think there were more gens than reps on the table..lol!! Off to the pictures: Chauffeur??!! To the Jerry's Deli in Costa Mesa please. I guess he wasnt to happy..... A Series Buckle and Croc Strap Comparison Censor Bar...LOL!! Breaking for some lunch. Some teen boppers drinking Bloody Marys. And now back to the fun.... Pam Row Isn't it bright in here?? They dont look bad at all D4M Now off to a local AD for some shopping in Lido but before we got there, BEHOLD!!! We found The Zigmeister's Shop again!! And he's offering FREE SERVICE!! Pam 082 THE END Thank you for looking. Comments welcome!! cc
By-Tor Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Awesome pictures! And of course... awesome watches. Gens and reps. One of these days I gotta attend these European GTG's. Seeing all those members' watches in one place... priceless. Thanks for sharing. PS: This picture reminded me again how much I love the Electric Blue Seamaster. The Bond bracelet makes it perfect.
Stephane Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Seems like that was a major GTG guys...so many watches in one picture Hope none disappeared Very nice pictorial Chinkie! And what a sky...I hope we'll get some blue sky in Brussels too Thanks for sharing with us. @BT: join us in Brussels man...planes are cheap !!!

They are rare limited edition "Rothchilds" of 75 worldwide. If you find them they still go for about $400usd. http://www.dissizit.com/index.php?option=c...=view&id=62
KB Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Well lucky you had the crash the shorter version with the pic's worked good enough for us. That a serious turn out you had there but being Cali they were probably only there for the chicks. First watch case, bottom row, third from the right....more information please. Ken
cc Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 First watch case, bottom row, third from the right....more information please. Ken Genuine Ulysse Nardin Dual Time 42mm 243-55/91. Same as RobbieG's UN but silver dial. http://www.ulysse-nardin.com/watch.jsp?ID_...;ID_Coll=100005
KB Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 I thought it looked sweet, could have done a few more pic's of that baby. Ken

Toadtorrent Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Great stuff...it almost looked like Robbie was there with the UN GMT and MMD!!
RWG Technical Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Awsome, great pics. Thank god there were only 8 of you there...imagine the size of the watch table needed if 20 RWG'ers got together. RG
RobbieG Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Genuine Ulysse Nardin Dual Time 42mm 243-55/91. Same as RobbieG's UN but silver dial. http://www.ulysse-nardin.com/watch.jsp?ID_...;ID_Coll=100005 Yeah, I saw the same member has the burgundy dial MMD. My twin. Which member has both the Dual Time and the MMD. I have never seen pics of those before or in wristchecks. Home on another forum I assume?
RobbieG Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Great stuff...it almost looked like Robbie was there with the UN GMT and MMD!! I doubt I would make it out of a Socal GTG alive, Toad. I would have to go strapped and with a rent-a-thug for the day.
elisiX Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Small GTG?... lol. Looks like you fellas had a great time. Make sure you save room for my arrival in LA on the 29th of this month! Edited March 10, 2009 by elisiX
b16a2 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Who's watcbox is this!?!?! I see more gens than reps
Toadtorrent Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 I doubt I would make it out of a Socal GTG alive, Toad. I would have to go strapped and with a rent-a-thug for the day. That has nothing to do with the watches though R...and everything to do about the pot shots!!
dluddy Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Who's watcbox is this!?!?! I see more gens than reps I bet it's Avitt's
scoobs1971 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 I love these UNs But some of these girls are not too bad as well @Stephane: could you arrange something like this for the upcomming Brussels GTG? Great to see reps and gens side by side!!! Sounds you guys had a great time.
VDBroucke Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 very nice girls... i forgot...watches to
freddy333 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 I bet it's Avitt's Ditto. There was a certain chronograph in 1 of the other shots that looked suspiciously familiar as well.
LegendofSpeed Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Not Avitt's... one of the other SoCal family guys... he wishes to remain anonymous with regards to ownership... but he brought like 30 watches and maybe 8 of them were reps.... This was an interesting GTG as there were more or at least as many gens as reps in the mix... the Panerai's made it probably equal as only 4 of them were gen...
P4GTR Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Great shots, looks like good times were had. Found myself talking out loud to my 17" LCD on more than a few of those pics! That UN definately stands out.
cc Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 Awsome, great pics. Thank god there were only 8 of you there...imagine the size of the watch table needed if 20 RWG'ers got together. RG We were still missing 4-5 other members couldn't make it. Hopefully next time Ditto. There was a certain chronograph in 1 of the other shots that looked suspiciously familiar as well. Not Avitt's...but he does have an AMAZING collection he left at home. There were a lot of guys who brought a "few to show" that the family hasn't seen yet. Imagine if they brought EVERYTHING..... it would have looked like loot from a watch heist.
