Las Vegas GTG pics!!

OK OK.....
Some are waiting, others couldn't care less, but here are a few!!

A small gathering of us, but a great time had (at least I did) by us all.
A few laughs and forum discussions ensued, with accompanying beverages.

It's always a great time to meet fellow aficionados of the horology culture....
Without further BS, I'll let the pics tell he story!!











PS: You may notice the grins were bigger as the afternoon progresses!!

We've all split up for the night, as we all had previous commitments, but a meet tomorrow is in order with some browsing of these fantastic pieces available here in Las Vegas....

Hopefully a few more pics of tonight will be added by the group, although I can't vouch for their current cognizance!!

Great pictures indeed! I'm looking forward to see the next ones!

By the way Rob, would it be possible to know who's who in the pictures? I'm getting as confused as you guys probably were after your drinks!

I hope this is not a joke Dalip, you actually made me get as close as an inch from my computer screen! I still couldn't confirm what you said!

I saw pretty much the same thing! In all honesty everything looks rose-ish in the pictures due to the lights but if it isn't rose Rolesor with that blue bezel I don't know what kind of watch he has...

...Rob? Did you customize a Daytona recently?
