Excellent!
Always great to see members coming together and enjoying the hobby on a face to face level.. That, and happy to put faces to names!

Thanks for sharing Russ!

Do you think I weakened my "hand" with Springer?

Mike I am sure our paths will cross in the future. I look forward to toasting TRF and the people it has brought together.

Priceless... That's what TRF is all about!

Keeperoftime · 23 July 2012, 09:30 PM

Very nice!

Looks like a great bunch!

mikkolopez · 23 July 2012, 09:33 PM

Great pics of watches, here's to the darkside.

It's a pristine Great White matte 1665 - on my wrist for an hour - felt right

DiamondJack · 23 July 2012, 10:44 PM

Looks like a great time ...... thanks for sharing

One of the best things about TRF is meeting up with like minded people and it always amazes me how having an interest in watches usually means compatability on a whole range of other things too ......

Rockrolex · 23 July 2012, 10:51 PM

Looks like it was a great GTG. Thanks for sharing the pics, Russ.

Now can you let us in on where that wine cellar is.

My daughter and son-in-law live in Dallas. We get there about once a year and I'd like to be able to go there next time we're in town.

P.S. This thread really belongs in the Meeting Point board, so I moved it there.

watchcrank · 23 July 2012, 11:06 PM

WIS conversations, always a good time. m

springer · 23 July 2012, 11:13 PM

The gathering at Pappadeaux's in Dallas Saturday was a great time for everyone which Russ was so gracious to put together. Russ is great at coordinating these get-togethers and I'm glad that I was able to attend. I met a couple great guys ( Mike and Bob), and it was wonderful seeing John (Beaumont Miller) and Russ again. We had some great conversations and stories by all to make the night complete. For the local TRF members that missed the opportunity to attend, you missed a great time and hopefully you can make the next one later this year.

Thanks again Russ for putting this together, and hopefully we'll have Beaumont up our way again soon for another great time.
