You're making a habit of this GTG Eric, good to see, have a great time.

RolexWatcher · 30 May 2012, 02:00 PM

Hey Eric, thanks for asking me and organising this. I will definitely try to make but I am still on crutches and so still quite hard to get around but will definitely try! (as Harbour City I never notice lifts)...

We'll carry you if we have to

Perhaps we need to enable a Rolex purchase on to you to ease the pain

I'll take that as a yes

bcacncnc · 30 May 2012, 06:13 PM

Will do my best Eric - you know they handcuff me to my desk for 12 hours a day!

inspires · 31 May 2012, 10:37 AM

Come on guys - do I need to start sending more PMs??

RolexWatcher · 31 May 2012, 06:56 PM

Eric, bollocks, I might have a steering committee meeting during Friday lunch. How crap is that. They are just confirming now and will let you know if I really can't make it. I was looking forward to this even though it might take a bit of effort with my crutches!!

Tell them you need to take the afternoon off because of the pain hehe!

TimeOnHand · 1 June 2012, 10:40 AM

Looks like just me and you Eric.... this is bad new! Because we will only just enable each other to buy watches... we need a middle man/woman to help us reason our decision!

RolexWatcher · 1 June 2012, 10:43 AM

Have a great time guys! Really sorry I can't make it this time but I like how there are more GTGs in HK :)

bcacncnc · 1 June 2012, 10:18 PM

Thanks guys. Had a great time. And happy to announce we successfully "enabled" Velkannen into the world of watches with his first Rolex, an Air King which is a gift for his father. He's over the moon that we found something within budget, beating the Rolex price rise, has a warranty date that matches his fathers birthday and he can have all this ready for his flight back to India next week! Thanks Eric, Kevin, Alvin. Let's do it again soon!

TimeOnHand · 1 June 2012, 10:27 PM

Yeah boys... it was great making new friends today...

The Highlight...

Velkannen buying his first Rolex and especially for his father! Now that's selfless love and honour! Well done Vel!

Priceless moment...

The look on the Elf's face when we told him we would not buy the watch from him... honestly who does that! LOL...

Eric... thanks for always taking the time to arrange these GTGs... great spot for lunch!

Thank you all...

inspires · 2 June 2012, 01:57 AM

We had a great time today. Thank you guys for coming out!

Unfortunately I could pull the trigger today as it was just not meant to be.

The AP Panda is still on my mind and I actually went back after you guys left but it just didn't sing to me enough to buy.

I think Kevin's exact words were "We tend to LUST for many watches but not LOVE them enough to add or keep them in the collection"

Until next time the collection stays the same, that is, if I don't win big money tomorrow in Macau!

Have a great weekend guys!

bcacncnc · 2 June 2012, 12:59 PM

Hi Kevin. I was wondering who is Elf, or whether it was iPhone doing auto correction, and then it clicked, and had a good laugh!

This is the second time I've seen Elf behave this way. Idiot!
