and MORE PICTURES!

We hijacked the table for this one.... the other patrons of the restaurant must've thought we were mad as hatters.

Sound advice on how to convince a spouse you don't just need  a $50K watch, you REALLY NEED A $50K WATCH!

The loops saw a lot of action.

Check out the guy praying in the background. He's showing gratitude, because his wife has agreed to let him buy that tourbillon because HE REALLY NEEDS it.

A trio of Classics. The light wasn't good enough to capture the difference in strap colors--one dark brown, one black, and one aftermarket deep blue to match the blued steel hands.

The wine. After a close encounter with a funky cork, the 97 E&E Black Pepper shiraz was strained into the decanter.

The norcal cab, shiraz, merlot blend went nicely with the filet mignon. Sorry, didn't get a photo of the bone-in filets enjoyed by Tim and Allen.

My personal fave. First time I'd seen one in the metal. Remember that guy praying? That's what I look like when I see this photo--only I'm praying Kari finds another stash of movements one of these days....

It was a spectacularly fun night. Mike--great to finally meet you in the metal, er, flesh. CL, great to put a face to the online handle. Allen and Tim--great to see you both as usual. We gotta do this again sometime.

Cheers,
Dom
