report, Carmel WIS meet>>

I am reporting from seat 23A, at 37000 feet, on my way home. Here are some photos:


What's a trip to San Francisco without a trip to "The Source", Otto Frei. Here, Brad "jinxed" cuts an impressive pose, after making the score on some cool stuff.


JohnnyT converses (en Español) with a local watchmaker.




Playing a game of super-spy WIS. Take a shot of a guy's watch on the freeway, in case it looks cool. It didn't.


Off to Carmel, to the meet. Brad and Dave P converse; Johnny's attention is elsewhere.



Johnny and Chris


Dave P does the "Jittery" pose. Brad and Patrick are not similarly inspired.


Rafael and Jacek discuss non poor-man watches.


Johnny and Ken Savage


Rafael winds his 8-day watch. It seems to take 7 days.


Off to the "Nuvolari" family cottage. Beautiful!

That last shot was of Joon's wrist. BIG kudos for the great organizing of the event. Thank you! It was great to meet you West Coast guys. I felt like I had known you guys for years, but just never met you. That's different now!

Finally, I cannot thank JohnnyT enough! He generously provided transportation, lodging, and most of all, friendship. I will look back on this trip with fond memories of late nights sitting around the kitchen table, WIS'n with friends. That kitchen table has seen a lot of modding the past couple years! Clearly, Johnny exemplifies THE BEST of what we have to offer here.
