Below are just a few that caught my attention, but certainly not all.

Art’s perfectly broken-in flightmaster





Together with another proper pilot’s watch…



This gorgeous Omega with a movement I could only imagine through the solid caseback







A Ronzon from an Indie who I believe operates out of Mexico CIty








Santa Monica AKA Dornbluth Heaven















Must resist bad Sinn puns!!



Back to the future with this Bulova




An awesome Micro I had never heard of












And finally a masterpiece which needs no introduction or explanation

Alphabet soup gang gathering last Sunday in Santa Monica . . .

. . . at Mr C's house. It was our first since last February, with thirteen in attendance plus a few more that would've made it had it not been for unforeseen circumstances - or, in one case, being in Hawaii. Mr and Mrs C kindly lent their backyard to host...  

Love the group’s name. Looks like you had a great time.

I think that I know the deli spot that you ordered from 😁 🤤

You're in Santa Monica?! . . .

Used to live in westwood, and frequent most of the Santa Monica eateries.

Sadly, I live thousands of miles away now

It was a long-awaited, and very enjoyable gathering.

Very nice to see everyone in person with reasonable safety, and I must say that some people did some very productive and well-chosen collecting while isolated. I can confirm that the Mickey Mouse watch is an Ingersoll owned by Mrs. C, and the IWCs were fr... 

Nice bezel on the Glashütte...

Glad you could join us, Mr L! . . .

. . . one of the members of our gang drives in from even further away; otherwise, you'd hold the record. I hope your friend will join us next time, reputedly mid-November. Best, Mr A

Wow, amazing selection!

That Bugatti is awesome! So are the other watches.

Looks as though everyone had a wonderful time.

The pieces look amazing, particularly the Parmigiani. The Mickey Mouse Timex harks back to my days as a child in the 1980s. I remember wearing a round dialled version, though I cannot remember whether it was Timex, though I remember I had to wind it every... 

Another view of the Mickey

Even more beautiful!

Apologies. I still wish I knew the one I had as a child.

Mr M has claimed the Ronzon . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 20th, 2021-15:04
. . . as his own. Thanks, Mr M! I was able to track down an image of him. Yes, 'M' stands for 'marvelous'. ...  

Missed this one but...

Thanks to Mr. D and Mr. A, I got my T-shirt: ...  

You couldn't find a better match for your FPJ . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 20th, 2021-20:59
. . . if you tried.

Very true and thanks again Mr. A 👍

Looks like a fine GTG. I really...
