Looks like a great time was had by all. The MOST disturbing pic was the peeling of the plastic. How could you stand it?!

Was another fun night with great friends and plenty of laughs.....

I don't know what's with my pouting....such an embarrassment....

Food was superb and I really needed it after some incredibly busy times at work

Interesting how the Panerai was frowned upon and then nobody could keep their grubby little mits of it

In fact a new Greg Stevens strap arrived so pics up when I get around to it......

I had the night off from taking pics so was looking forward to seeing these.

Thanks one and all.....and head chef.....great work!!

Cool Thanks for sharing.

I never get tired of checking out the WA crew's GTG's

Why would I? Smiles all round, fine foods, plus wonderful little machines that get taken off the wrist, and photographed from all angles.

Good stuff
