), and there were some big surprises in store. Firstly, they had the new Basel models in, albeit without movements, which we all had the chance to try on. The new Explorer II is nothing short of sublime, the size is perfect, and looks incredible. The YM II in steel and rose looks far, far better in the flesh, whilst the ceramic Daytona is very pretty indeed. They also had a selection from a private collection with some very interesting vintage pieces, including a perfect red 1680 and the precursor to the original Turn-O-Graph. Unbelievable! Topped off with a meal at the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to with four of the nicest guys you could possibly meet (Dalip, Thomas, Leo and Chris), it was the perfect end to an incredible GTG.

On the train home now feeling a bit worse for wear, but with a big smile on my face. To everyone who attended the GTG, it was a pleasure meeting you and talking to you, and I sincerely hope to see all of you again very soon!

Chris

It was great to meet you Chris, It would be good if I come and visit you some time

I had a blast and its just a shame I couldn't have stuck around a little longer!

I can't believe you had the chance to try on the new Basel models

I'm INCREDIBLY jealous!

Hope to see you all some time real soon, next time I will hope to stick around longer

Thanks mate, don't be daft

they arn't really WIS's as such. They had a good time, but they didn't come along to stick around anyhow

RolexWatcher · 4 July 2011, 07:54 AM

That's good

I am eagerly waiting for dalip's pics!!

oh okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy then!!

Christmas (ish?? Late November/Early December) 2011 anyone....??

We'll let the dust & the hangover's settle then we'll get something going yeah...??

& just a thought but I'm happy trekking "oop North" if that suits people next time?

(Having said that I also think London's perhaps easiest for people to get to generally & I really did think The Dickens was pretty spot on........ but I'm just sayin' I'd be equally happy to go along with whatever suited everyone else...... )

Dino

Likewise, Dino, you'd be more than welcome - just say the word, and I'll sort something out

It was a real treat seeing the Basel models, especially as they're being taken away tomorrow! I just couldn't believe how much stock they had in, though, incredible, especially how many precious metal models they had. I wouldn't mind working there!

dalip · 4 July 2011, 09:11 AM

Pics are all up in two threads guys!!

Dan - thanks for organising mate...top top job.

I had such a superb time and just loved meeting everyone.

johnbeth · 4 July 2011, 09:39 AM

Great stuff Dan! Thank you so much for arranging everything

I'm in for Nov/Dec

Just let us know of any dates you have in mind and I'll book em' off

I think London was a great location and wouldn't mind doing it again

What about anyone else?

Cheers

The draw wasn't done in the end - unfortunately it was too short notice

It'll be coming to a GTG very very soon, though, I'm sure

Xenophon · 6 July 2011, 04:26 AM

Pencil me in for the next one. I'll try not to arrive first and start on my own next time.
