I'm home and I'm still hungover!!

But more importantly I had a bloody AWESOME time and I can honestly say that I enjoyed every single minute of it.

Thank you again Gent's for another fantastic GTG......

Sorry I missed it, guys. Looks like a good time was had by all. At least I got to meet up with Nathan (Xenophon) earlier in the week. No pics of that mini-GTG, though.

Dan has arranged our usual spot in the pub




Thanks to everyone who made it to this years summer GTG, we made some new friends and caught up with with some old ones
Good Shot of Gabriel and Chris

Geert making it very clear that HIS WATCH can go the deepest!!!



Dalip limbering up for his live feed posts


Dan this proof that the Daytona will work with your size wrists






Nathan was a bit strapped for cash so he instigated his own garage sale!!!!


We tried to give Dan the slip when we went for dinner, but he found us!!!!

Let me first say that all guys in this photographs are European (yes even Dalip with the double nationality) But 'le petit Belge' in the background has grown fast

At breakfast - the morning after...


I was wearing the Daytona this morning (still love this watch!)


This afternoon Chris and me did some watch'shopping' at Harrods and the Rolex store at Knightsbridge.
Saw some wonderful pieces.
Chris fancied this one



I tried on this one, in honour of my best friend R.J. !
Congratulations my friend your new Omage is a stunning piece, again one you need to see live to appreciate the beauty of it !!!

Looks like a great GTG
I'm definitely making inroads to attend a future one...
London seems like the place to be...

Although the British decorum stereotypes seems to be
Challenged by Dan in some of those pics...

Geert - I'm so proud that you managed to test drive a few omega...
The mark II is killer- you have to see the lume on that one!

Isn't that GMT great?

I didn't go looking for it, but once I saw it - game over
