Dan, Thanks for organizing this event again.

Great forethought in booking the "discreet table" at the Living Room.

Good seeing and chatting to everyone.

Paying the price today though

Looking forward to seeing the pics.

My vote for watch of the day goes to Wes for the Tudor Pelagos, must be seen to be appreciated fully.

Chaps!

What can I say but THANK YOU ALL for another fantastic GTG and thanks especially to Raf, Lili and Geert for all travelling in from abroad!

As per usual I was too lazy/drunk to take any photo's but I'm sure Paul and Chris will post theirs as soon as they get a chance.

Seriously guys it was great to catch up with everyone and I can't wait to see you all in November for Salon QP!

I must apologise though for being so far off-form today the hangover was killing me and it's only just starting to subside!

Raf you're truly a legend mate and thank you again for my shirt!!

Yep next time round I'll do my upmost to attend, mind you I have had a great weekend even managed some watch shopping in Stratford upon Avon.

Anyone looking for somewhere to stay and enjoy Warwickshire or the Cotswolds this is a lovely place to stay, its totally out of the way and food is outstanding.

Looking forward to the pics guys

Wonderful GTG guys, I just got home and I want to thank you all for the marvellous time I had ! Definitely worth making the trip.

Had a jolly time meeting up with 'old' faces and getting to know some 'new' ones.
Chris, you're photos came out brilliantly, well done man
But we were all so busy talking wristwatches, that most of us just forgot to make some pictures. Only one person can have the best record in photographs of our meeting and that is LILI !
Raf, you'll have to talk your wife into sharing some of the pictures she took and post them here on the forum

By the way Lili and Raf enjoy your cruise around Europe and say hello from us all at the GTG in London to Thomas in Sweden and Andreas in Finland !
We'll hope you guys have a marvellous time

Off to bed now...
I'll post my photographs tomorrow

Any chance of a February GTG in London? Arleen and I will be there from 13th February till 18th February. Any possibility of squeezing something in then?

BTW, the pics of this GTG looked like everyone (even Raf) had a great time. Well done, gang.
