Excellent photos, everyone! It was great fun to meet up with you all, thanks for organizing!

Loved the 16710, but it made the current itch even worse. Also, was cool to see a DSSD look really good on a wrist, haven't seen that in person before.

I made it home by five in the morning, got a few hours of sleep before heading out for my dive. It was worth it though, here's what you missed out on.

Wow, that's spectacular underwater photography. Where did you dive at and what photography gear did you use?

Beautiful, must have taken hours of picture taking experience to get to that quality of macros, cool gear too!

Good to see your LV chilling out in Aus. Boag's is my next favourite drop after pint sized Little Creatures, followed by imported German Beers.

I think you experienced a few proper days of summer before you left, remembering it was the coldest wettest summer we have had in over 50 years.

Cheers Jules
hey jules you're right i did stay over that way, balmoral. i also stayed in the shire and pyrmont as well as st leonards you're hotly contested when it's only a two week trip!!

love Boags, james squire, little creatures and on occasion a CD. can't do vb or any other checmically enhanced beer...

had some great days mate, loads of swimming and baking on the beach and plenty of lobster, crab and steak eating too!

Anders, Balmoral is a great spot. I work near by most days of the week, and have been fortunate enough to have been working there since 1985.

I'm with you in relation to chemically enhanced beers, I'am very much the worst for wear the next day on the rare occasions I drink these.

Hopefully you experienced a quieter part of the year and were able to get about without too much trouble. Hopefully you will get out in the not too distant future.

Cheers Jules

Looks like a very cool and civilised GTG

So pretty much the opposite of the London version where we just drink beer to excess and eat pizza

Oh..... but we do have a few watches in common......
