Me and the boys enjoying a fine smoke: Alan and I. We went back to his first days on Paneristi. I still have some Aussie bucks somewhere for when I visit!
thing is, 2 is a...crowd...for me Lolllllll
What strikes me as odd is the watch on the shirt... the California dial on Luminor was not an issued watch at the time???
Remember it well. I wasn’t one for GTGs until somewhat recently and so never really considered making the trip. There were some exceptions, one P-Day, and a few times in other cities and countries. It was really a crazy time, a super group all over the world. I always loved Nad’s travel photo-logs.
My first "nice" watch was a Panerai. The community there was incredible those early years.
I think it was the first event I attended, and really have not attended many others since.
