Mini GTG

Day off yesterday, went into San Francisco with my watch buddy "Baron Rojo" from this & a couple of other watch fora.
Checked out the Tudor line @ Shreve (so far the only AD in Bay carrying Tudor, note I just found out there are 2 more Ad's in the Bay, Burlingame & Milpitas, but those towns aren't as cool as San Francisco) Very sharp watches, favorites were the classic/vintage re-issues, the 2 dive watches & the chronos.
The watches were so nice, & staff very pleasant I forgot to take pics....but you've seen 'em all anyways.
We took a lunch break for burgers & beers @ Johnny Foley's Irish Bar then went over to Tourneau & their Rolex shop....their used watches are very over-priced!
Me & the Baron.....


we just brought the watches we were wearing........




my pooch was unhappy she didn't go, she likes the city, burgers & beer




The baron & I looked so fab, gear & groovy, we asked the waitress to take another pic

Any particular pieces caught your attention? There are more Tudor dealers in the Bay other than Shreve and Co.

Very nice, I am heading to Carmel next week for 5 days for a little R&R, the Rolex AD also has Tudor there, looking forward to it.

Awesome, looks like fun!

I love Foley's, too. They have Kilkenny on tap there, which for some strange reason I can't find anywhere in New York. (I know - I'm just not looking hard enough..)

Can't beat beer, burgers and watches with another watchnut! jatco and myself had the same kind of GTG last year only we added cigars to the mix! Great to meet with others who share the passion. Maybe someday we'll meet up Dr Bob.
