Get away from the cold y'all!

I didn't see this show scheduled last year so they're starting back up again. Gruen watches are out and about! Cash is king!

The show was small but none the less was pretty good. A couple of Gruen folks were there Richard and Liz, been seeing them at several shows this year.

Picked up this Pan Am from Richard...

My buddy Anthony threw a bag of watches on the table, folks gathered like a swarm of bees. Folks getting very serious...

OT but picked up a nice pair of 1967 Accutron timepieces...

Nice weather for San Diego, always! 71 degrees and nice cool nights. We ventured out to Ocean Side to check out the beach and shops.

In-N-Out...Not exactly but a 35 minute wait for food.

Visited some shops in the area. Found some Gruen watches, prices were high for some, good priced for others.

that is a nice PA from Rich. Heard he cut you a deal.

That strap 1 looks nice but is that the price? $850?!?!? Wow!

The seller is in a consignment shop in the Midway District of San Diego. I'd say he has a couple thousand vintage timepieces for sale, all at a very premium price.  :roll:

My buddy tried to by a lot of watches from him several years ago, wouldn't budge even for $5 off.
