No, but they do have a nice Panerai collection (something I haven't seen at another BB).

Speaking of Ben Bridge, I was at my local mall yesterday and Ben Bridge relocated within the mall. Their old location is being converted into an entire Rolex boutique.

Wes, thanks for the heads-up. Not a big fan of Panerai but guess it doesn't hurt to look (and maybe try some on).

Will do. House sales are slow and agonizing. It is taking forever. Then we fly to San Diego to buy a new house - a condo near the water.

I know the area, FYI. My mother used to live on Coronado. My doctor will be in Torrey Pines Scrips. I love Del Mar, too. Can't hardly wait.

I had never had the chance to see or handle a Panerai until I went into that Ben Bridge about 6 months ago. It was nice to see them in person and handle them as opposed to just looking at pictures.

West LA here. My girlfriend is in Calabasas so I like checking out Polachecks at the Commons. Get to see Rolex, Patek, IWC, Breitling, and Panerai all at one place.

Any of you San Diego area folks ever purchase a Rolex from Bert Levi jewelers in San Diego?

I walked in there today and the owners wife was very very nice and knowledgeable.
