GTG: #LAWatchGang October 2014

Brian H. October 16, 2014

For October's #LAWatchGang GTG, @toysofawis surprised the OGs with a customized polo shirt!  Thank you again!  As usual, a lot of familiar faces, but we also had two newcomers with interesting watches.  The selection at October's GTG was quite varied.  Remember, if you are a watch aficionado and would like to attend our monthly #LAWatchGang GTG, please feel free to contact me.

First off, the awesome #LAWatchGang polos! @toysofawis and I wore ours for the first time to this GTG.

@toysofawis surprised the OGs from #lawatchgang with these customized polos.

The two newcomers brought with them a Weiss Standard Issue Field watch with white dial (on a beautiful blue strap) and an IWC Portuguese Automatic 7-Day (ref. IW500109) with black dial.

The two Portuguese brothers next to each other... and I could not help but notice the ever so slight resemblance of the Weiss Field watch to the white dialed IWC Portuguese Chronograph (ref. IW371446).

The two Patek Philippes of the night... a Gondolo Calendario (ref. 5135R) which is now discontinued and the Nautilus (ref. 5712).

The Grand Seiko GMT... definitely not a piece you see often.  Not many people "get" the concept or the pricing of the brand Grand Seiko... but handle one and you will understand why this Seiko is worth thousands.

The Breitling SuperOcean... big but comfortable.  I really like the adjustable mechanism that is built into the deployant buckle.

Other watches from this month's GTG included: Sinn, Cartier Calibre, Omega Seamaster 300, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Diver, Rolex Datejust II, IWC Mark XVI, and a vintage Heuer.

One of our members also showed up with this really cool and functional movement cufflink!  Certainly an accessory that every WIS should own and wear with a suit ;-).

The Batman and some paella.
Yayoi Kusama, “With All My Love For The Tulips, I Pray Forever (2011)”.
I’ve always been a fan of white dial PAMs... but this Sly Tech is extra 🔥🔥🔥.
How is this for an All-Star lineup? From left to right: 911, 195, 5218-202/A, and 5218-207/A.
Case back on the badass Slytech 5218-207/A with Sylvester Stallone’s signature.
Two pre-V beauties you don’t get to see that often. The 5218-202/A on the left and the 5218-207/A on the right. You can check them out in the flesh at the La Jolla Panerai Boutique! Huge thanks to @kiril_official and @thegrailwatch for their hospitality and knowledge on the brand! If you want to see amazing pieces and learn even more about Panerai, this is THE Panerai Boutique to visit. The knowledge at this boutique is incredible!
Can’t believe this beauty was released almost 9 years ago! Can’t wait to see what Rolex has in store for us this year.
A family that Pontos together stays together. @mauricelacroix
Can’t believe that the year is almost over! This year I was definitely less active on IG than previous years... hopefully that changes next year! Best part of winter? Wrist shots with gray sweaters/hoodies! Not sure what it is about the gray but it always looks great!
Christmas came early this year! Can’t wait to try on this new Vulcan rubber strap @vulcanwatchstraps on my Batman! Stay tuned for a full strap review coming soon on www.lifeofawis.com! Find out how this new brand compares to Rubber B and Everest Bands!
Iconic.
🚨 NOW LIVE! 🚨. The exclusive Life of a WIS interview series continues with Lee Scott, Founder of Vulcan Watch Straps @vulcanwatchstraps. Find out what makes them different from Rubber B and Everest Bands at www.lifeofawis.com or link on my profile 👆🏼.
We love the GMT in our family...
Camouflage and the 911.
Twinning with the wife @wifeofawis today 👫.
