Yesterday we celebrated my birthday (2 days early) with a small family dinner (max 5 at table)

My gift is still in Dubai and I’ll inbox that great Panerai next week once I’m back.

But simply had to share these pics with all my friends at the forum

On the group photo; middle is my wife, left is my daughter in law, next my son, then the old head is me, and finally in white dress my daughter.

Obviously Vacheron and Rolex were present as well

The birthday dinner was held at Salentein, a restaurant inside an old White Castle with a rich history tied to the Pon family, who were instrumental in distributing Porsche and promoting racing events.
The Pon family also has a connection to wine production, with one brother establishing a vineyard in Argentina whose wines are still served at the Salentein restaurant.
The original poster's son is also a Vacheron Constantin enthusiast, occasionally borrowing his father's watches for special occasions.
The author's new Panerai, a birthday gift from his wife, was delayed in Dubai to avoid significant VAT and import duties if brought to Europe.
Travel plans to Paris were impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, preventing the author from visiting due to 'code red' declarations and potential issues with his return permission to Dubai.
Several community members expressed joy at seeing the family reunited, emphasizing the importance of family connections.
The author highlighted his family's commitment to philanthropy, contributing to various charity foundations as a way to give back and share their good fortune.

Thank you my friend

Unfortunately our government has declared Paris code red for COVID meaning travel to Paris is not allowed. Since I have to fly back to Dubai on 27th I would jeapordize my return permission from the UAE government Hence I’ll try again on my next visit late September

Too bad. I didn't even know Paris was classified in Red. I always thought the only red thing in Paris was the Moulin Rouge.

No message body
