I had a few hours to spare while on business in LA and visited some of my favorite Watch Boutiques along Rodeo Drive! I am not sure of many places where you could knock out so many so close. I tried several on, I fell in love with the Brequet, but did not come home with it!

One of my favorites, lots of SCHWAG here since I am an owner!

Three in a row!

Beautiful Building and Watches

:d rul:

All of these could be walked to within 5 minutes of each other - SO CONVIENENT!!!

Very nice, it appears as you have found the one you want.

Visit Vegas sometime, that's pretty enjoyable trust me.

Ny is pretty good.

So is St Thomas.

Chicago is Ok.

I'm sure there are other places also.

Did the same back in 2006. That's one amazing drive.

coralhound · 27 April 2012, 12:06 PM

There is ALOT more to see along the way, this was getting alot of attention from the passers by!

A very nice Bugatti

snowpea · 27 April 2012, 12:16 PM

snowpea · 27 April 2012, 12:18 PM

Not sure what a moon 39 is, I would like to learn though!

Sorry Chris, I forgot about the JLC Master Moon

The one I was referring to was the JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon 39

What you think? I also included the gold version for you

dbphotos · 27 April 2012, 01:20 PM

The Bugatti belong(ed) to the designer Bijan who died last year. He used to park it in front of th store everyday when he arrived at work and now someone else does it. It has been vandalized a few times while sitting there. He used to park one of his many other cars there as well, but this was the most recent and expensive (I think).

The home of $50,000 suits and once was considered the most expensive store in the world.

And, nice watch!

Ah yes that is VERY pretty. I wanted the master moon in rose gold, but that will need to be a trade up sometime in the future.

I love thier ATMOS clocks and own 4 this one is my favorite though...

The 150th Anniversary Special limited edition.

It would have to be a pre-owned as I think they discontinued that model. That Atmos is awesome, but to my dismay I haven't seen one in the flesh

I am not that far away from you, come down and take a look!

I had to go through the JLC catelog again tonight, indeed I missed the 39 moon. Nice watch. I am looking forward to seeing Ryan's master thin gold next week!

Confession time! =

I wanted a new strap for my Master Calendar, so I brought it to the Boutique in a spare eyeglass case. They did not have a strap in stock but they gave me with an appropriate travel case! Eye glass case just doesnt cut it apparently
Love that Boutique

kilyung · 28 April 2012, 02:07 PM

I was just there last year, picking up my JLC.
