Since it was a Journe that stole the show yesterday! A handful of us met up for lunch on Saturday in NYC which we haven't done in a long time. It was great to see some old faces and meet a few new ones! Here are two table shots from the day.......







We ate at La Grande Boucherie which is a newer French Bistro in Midtown and has a great outdoor dining space. The place is beautiful and was packed yesterday which was good to see. I'd walk by this restaurant when it first opened about a year ago and it sat empty so I was happy to see that business is finally booming!











Thanks as always to Padj for getting everyone linked up again, we had a great time. Tony

Thank you for taking us along. Some wonderful watches in the event. Mikes RQ - yes it tends to steal the show. That watch is so crazy good.

Of the 6 people at the table, 4 Journe owners, 1 former owner (of what to me is one of the most interesting and beautiful versions of that specific reference) and 1 soon to be owner. And so, we did talk a bit of Journe. Plus, there were three Journe watches at the table, one not pictured, and so Journe won on the “watches present” count too. Although, Lange would have had a strong showing too. Two watches present, but several others owned by those present and several potential acquisitions being

Lots of fun and good conversation. The watches were a bonus. I did get blown away by Joe's Air Command. A great looking watch on bracelet. Hope we can do this again sooner rather than later.

I didn't take any wrist shots so I'm glad you did! It was good to catch up.
