Informal London Spring GTG

I would like to see if there is any interest in a spring GTG in London on Thursday 23rd April in the Oxford Street area starting early evening.

This is aimed at those of us who work in or around London. Of course Northerners and citizens and natives of the Kingdom of Belgium are welcome too!

Scammers and con artist definitely not welcome!

I will provide the exact location to those intending to attend nearer the time.

So far I have interest from the following:

Xenophon - Nathan
Rootbeer7 - Edward
Diamond Jack - Steve
The Joker - Wes


This is not a replacement for the excellent Summer GTG that Spud organises, and no doubt that will also go ahead.

Please let me know your interest by adding to this thread.

Well, its not far from Stockholm to London. GTGs seems rare here in the cold north. Maybe its all icebears on our streets.

As an aside, hasn't "The Joker - Wes" changed his name on his profile to "Carlll" or something ? By April maybe it will be "call me Susan".

Good on you matey, there's a Father & Son team who I deal with at work and they sport the YG & WG versions respectively.....
YG's a bit much IMHO but the WG runs the Blue-Sub' a very veryclose second as my 'one day' watch!!

Wear it in good health mate.

Thanks mate, stainless for me though. I've had it a while. It's only been back to Rolex once with a hacking problem. To be honest, I don't think it's a keeper. I'll still have it for the GTG, I reckon.

I have sent the details of the above GTG to those who have expressed an interest. If anyone else would like to join us please let me know either by posting on this thread or by PM and I will provide the details.

A number of you have requested we don't publish the venue on a public forum so may I request that the attendees respect those wishes.

See you all on the 23rd

I know you and a couple of others have said this, and I do have to agree. Some serious watches have been on the table
