A big thank you goes out to all the Toronto GTG organizers and sponsors

A big thank you goes Nezam and the Liberty Restaurant. The food was excellent as always and service was worth it weight in PLATINUM!!! Also a big thank you to Aaron the master chef at the Liberty who made us a very special menu for the evening. The liberty truly is the best value for food and service in Toronto, I am sure no one will disagree. White Chocolate Dark Chocolate mousse cake was to die for.

Thank you to Atomic for getting things together inviting so many great ppl to attend. A big thank you to Watch Time and journalist Laurance Yap for providing the magazines. A big thank you to RDV and Damiani Jewellers for providing the Catalogs and door prizes. Thank you to Vin Diesal AKA Kurt of The Watch Boys for the straps and cases that were given out.

I know I have missed some ppl (Atomic you will have to fill in for us) but the most important ppl we have to thank are THE PEOPLE!!!

It was a night to remember as we broke down all the barriers!! TRF, Panereh, Paneristi and TZ came together and made what I know to be the best GTG that Toronto has ever seen. There was nothing but love and none of us wanted the night to end.


One of the greatest pleasures I had was to meet many ppl from TRF but my guest was simply the best. RockRolex as I suspected from the begining is one of the nicest ppl on here. It was a complete pleasure to have you here and I do apologize for the sparse accomodations and transportation (which I know needs a detailing badly) but I hope that we will see you again here some time soon.


With that being said I hope our next meeting will even bigger and even more fun, the bar has been set but I expect to raise it with the next Toronto GTG.

A big thank you to everyone as well. Especially Atomic and Joel for organizing this event, after all it wouldn't have happened without them. Atomic was a wonderful and gracious host.

A big thanks goes out to the chef of the Liberty for providing perfect food and devilish desserts (I had some of Roger's cake, it was to die for). Also, a big thanks goes out to Nezam for providing the perfect atmosphere and setting for a watch collectors meeting.

Also, a big thanks to Tyler from RDV for the catalogues, and for being a wonderful host. He provided everyone a few watches to dream about and drool over. His time and talking to him about AP was worth it's weight in Rhodium!

It was a pleasure to meet you all, and too bad that I forgot some of your names.

We can only improve on this GTG from now on. I would recommmend that the place be slightly more accessible, instead of me having to bum a ride off other people.

A big thanks goes out to Carlo for giving me a ride to the restaurant, and to Joel Tadeo for giving me a ride to Bathurst subway station. Both of you are true gentlemen and I hope to see you both again soon! It was also a pleasure to meet people like Mario, Kurt, Rockrolex, Avalon and Laurance.

I really enjoyed the watches last night, and enjoyed sharing mine with others.

The door prizes were truly awesome too! Seems like I'll have something for my Canal St. Folex display now.

Actually, he's spot on. Maybe we should ban you, instead.

Let me guess Roger - he threatened to sue you if you didn't say good things about him, right?

I have to say it was a great night at the GTG, and a great couple of days spending time with other WIS.
