Sydney GTG Picture Thread

We a great night out at the Chophouse in Bligh Street, thanks to Milan for organising this one. Great to see a couple of new faces to our GTG's Jules and Oliver, and also Adrian and Toph's lovely ladies

The food was superb

Adrian arrived late but didn't disappoint us with a fine array of watches that he bought along

Thanks for a great night guys, good food, good company and nice watches. I got home about 1.30 and am paying for it now!!

That German pilot watch is insane, I don't have small wrists and it looks huge on me, almost felt the need to put it around my neck and start breaking out into 'i'm on the edge'

Rob there was 10 of us.
