Thanks TRF
I want to thank TRF for making friendships happening, even distance can't stop it. Finally met up with my good friend and soulmate R.J. and his wife Michelle in Paris last weekend. Needless to say we all had a wonderful (watch)time !
And as the saying here goes...photo or it didn't happen...

I thought R.J. was going to show the cultural part of our trip to Paris...
A bit like this: Statue of Alexandre Dumas (writer of the count of Monte Cristo and the three Musketeers)  The Arc de Triomphe (in restauration)  The Notre Dame Cathedral   A new Rado store next to the Seine  Louvre and the Tuileries    What the French do best: Jeu de boules or Petanque  Oh, and I forgot some little tower the French build...  yes, it's there: in the middle of the photograph behind someones' beautiful watch

Just takes two for a GTG to be official. Where was my invite Geert
 Looks like you guys had an incredible time. You really are becoming the GTG jetsetter. London, Paris, Brussels and maybe New York at some point this year. Thanks for sharing Buddy - some amazing watches

There are some really good people on TRF, that's for sure ! And yes Michael, it's seems that I am bringing this online stuff to live. I met some really nice people last 3 years. Before I knew nobody who was into wristwatches. I have been positively surprised by all the guys I've met and have made several people I can call friends now! Internet isn't faceless anymore for me. |
