FULL REPORT: Morning Octane 7/25/15

Brian H. September 13, 2015

This was my first time attending a Morning Octane event and I must say that this has to be one of the best free car events in Southern California.  This event is truly for all types of car lovers.  What makes this event so much fun is that it is not limited to expensive exotic cars... there are plenty of modified imports, modified domestics, motorcycles, and much more.

FULL REPORT: Oak & Oscar Visits LA

Brian H. August 7, 2015

Chase, founder of Oak & Oscar, was in town on July 26 and invited the #LAWatchGang to check out his very first model, the Burnham.  For those unfamiliar with the brand, Oak & Oscar is a relatively new American brand (Chicago based) that in a very short time has made a big impression in the watch community with the Burnham modelโ€ฆ and rightfully so.  The watch is unique and attractive.

FULL REPORT: RPM Exotic Car Gathering 7/18/15

Brian H. July 24, 2015

This past Saturday I attended the RPM Exotic Car Gathering at the Hing Wa Lee Plaza in Walnut for the third time... easily the best one I have attended so far (sans a Bugatti)!  The parking lot was completely packed!  So packed that they actually had to turn away several Ferraris and Lambos since there was no more space.  As always, there was complimentary Dim Sum breakfast and plenty of watches to enjoy inside the Hing Wa Lee watch store.

Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary visits Malibu. The Hulk at the Avengers Headquarters. Color coordinated ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค Slowly started to eat out again… not sure that I really missed dining at a restaurant that much ๐Ÿค”. Anyone else feel the same? They don’t make them like they used to. There is something special about white dial PAMs ๐Ÿ˜. Kabobs ๐Ÿข and watchesโŒš๏ธ.
Enjoying my new @montawatch (@everestbands) leather watch roll. Top quality all around, highly recommended. A pair of beautiful AP watches hides inside… Which color should I go with? โค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ The Chanel J12 GMT. Happy Saturday everyone! Not your typical watch โ˜ ๏ธ One of my favorite PAMs, the 968.
Best part of the Prism watch case from @delugsstraps? The cover also serves as a pad!  Perfect place to lay your watches on once you take them out of the holders. 3 very different black watches ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค. Which one would you choose? I still think that this variant of the Speedmaster is gorgeous ๐Ÿ˜. My Luminor case trio... 911, 563, and 416. Safely stored in the @delugsstraps Prism case. Who knows which one of these three is a regular production model? I’ll stick to this Speedmaster ๐Ÿ˜‰.
