    The second San Francisco OF meetup last night was a great success, the attendance doubled from last time and I loved the large variation in watches and high quality we had. I thought I had taken many more pictures, I’m sure others will be added.

    @abrod520 Camaro that caused @Tbone to buy one right at the table

    Enzo’s (not on OF) Rolex triple calendar

    @efauser Constellation
    [​IMG]

    and here it is with its buddy (mine)
    [​IMG]

    @merchandiser Omega Chronometre
    [​IMG]

    @Fost Longines 3T
    [​IMG]

    @efauser Thunderbird
    [​IMG]

    And incredibly enough for an OF meetup, only two Speedmasters (just because @miacono001 couldn’t make it this time), from @abrod520 and @wkimmd

    We had some gold

    My heart choice this time comes from @merchandiser who kindly found us a very nice table on his crazy shop 'the Market'... If you are in SF you should definitely have stop there! Omega chronometer, rose gold, French case..

    @micampe 's toy among others he brought :)

    One other duo from @wkimmd was missing but we had the ultimate omega 60th one at least!

    Sorry I missed it, I was in the area earlier in the day but headed back up the hill before it got icy.

    @abrod520 ’s cushion Carrera is a watch that has launched a thousand internet searches. Tag should be using that piece in marketing. It just looks so perfect.

    Looks like a great time was had by all!!! Only 2 Speedies? You make us SoCal guys look like we have a problem...

    I was about to make a run for it with @micampe ’s duo:

    I was sad not to have my Camaro to match @abrod520 ’s:

    I missed these since the last time @Fost brought them to SF:

    Nice pair from @micampe and @efauser:

    I would wear this one everyday if I could, @merchandiser:

    Yea, it was a good time but it might cost me 7k! @abrod520's Camaro sent me over the edge!

    There were actually 5 Speedmasters. I brought a Professional 3590.50, a reduced 3510.82 and an MK40. I will say they were overshadowed by some of the spectacular watches you see in the photos.
    @wkimmd, here's a photo of the Grand Seiko for you.
