I really can't accurately express how fun this day was!!!! Meeting all the guys and finally matching faces to the avatars, talking watches and other interests, eating like Kings, etc. What a blast and already looking forward to the next one!!!!

Thanks Joe...I have been called worse!

Special thanks to Gerardo for making it happen!

Great time had by all; it may take all day today just to recover!

I make Rick's words my words. Great events and great people. I really enjoyed meeting everybody present. In addition to being thankful to Rolex D&D and Gerardo to putting the great presentation in the morning, I would also like to thank John for the allowing me to try the incredible beautiful Tudo and for the time graphed Danny for allowing me to check out the increadible beautiful DD2, Alex for incredible beautiful 4 digit Pepsi GMT, Peter for the increadible beautiful 18ct Sky dweller.
Here is the accuracy of my DJ2:

Meeting fellow Rolex WIS is really the best part of the GTG. Nice to put faces with an avatar.
I'll leave to Gerardo to post the "Rolex dial" picture which I think was awesome!
Nice meeting you! Thank you for posting the Rolex dial pic, I was running around all day

What a great event! Everything - and I mean - everything was top notch. The food, the Basel presentation and visit with Jeff, Phyllis, and Mr. Deutsch, dinner with a group of people who 'get it', and a chance to share other common interests - I am already looking forward to the next time we can get together.

Thanks to Gerardo for setting the whole thing up and to everyone who took time to be a part of it.

Best,
Skip
