Hi Guys, really hoping to make it Friday night. I attend a network meeting every Friday morning at 6am in the CBD and normally have serious brain fade come 7pm, but will try and suck it up and get there.

Just come... It will be an excellent way to wind down, with a few drinks and good food ( I hope on the good food ) and the excitement of the draw!

Pre dinner drink

Anyone keen please PM me your number and I'll text you (not keen to post my number here in case someone dodgy gets hold of it )

EDIT: Looks like we have consensus for a 6pm kick off.

Venue TBD... suggestions?

If anyone wants to meet earlier shoot me a note. On Fridays I get thirsty from around 11am

It was an awesome turnout and it was an excellent evening with excellent food and excellent company. It was great to catch up with old friends and create new friendships.

Thanks to San for the excellent photography!!!

Yep, a sensational evening. Thanks JB for organising. Great pics San, really don't need to post any more pics (careful you'll become the official Syd GTG photographer).

Outstanding company, watches and looking forward to the GTG. Jules

Appears to be a great unmolested example Adrian..!
Well worn, but nothing a little TLC (ultrasonic clean) wouldn't fix.

Top pictures San, you're hired for the next event!!

Thanks for sharing and looks like a top time had by all. Wish I could have been there.

I doubt I will have it. I am going to have it serviced and give it to a friend for Christmas..... he knows nothing about watches but I know he likes red subs.

I will bring something else to the next GTG... I got my 1463 out to wear last night but you Rolex nuts would probably rather look at subs.
