Another very fun GTG with fellow PuristS in Singapore!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 15th, 2014-08:36
Gathering for watches is always fun! After a stressful work day (in a most stressful season of work for me... the business planning weeks for next year), I found much relief and rest with fellow PuristS over a relaxed dinner and some watch sharing. No fan...  

A great selection of watches, but I suspect this was not the most important part

Of this gathering. Being with the Gang and sharing a nice moment was certainly delightful. Well done, guys. Best from Paris. Nicolas

Once again... many people mentioned you last night Nico!

... and I was blown away by the range, diversity and beauty of the watches there! Many of these I had admired only in pictures before but I could handle them in real life. Pretty incredible! It was great to learn more from fellow PuristS.

Very happy to see you too NT931

The watch you brought to share with us was perfect too (for me at least!). Now I got the poison from you :P Cheers robin

Looks like a lot of fun

And I know what you mean about de-stressing over this little hobby. The little things that make all the difference.

Exactly Richard... after last night...

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 15th, 2014-22:45
no more stress! :D See you real soon my friend. Sorry we went ahead without you last night. Next time! Cheers robin

at a GTG the people are nearly as important as the watches. of course..

You still need some food and drink

We had family American food!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 15th, 2014-22:46
And we sat down, chatted, took photos for like 40 mins before we ordered! After our meal, we chatted for like another hour or so before doing some boutique hopping :) Agree, the people are the most important! Then the watches... :D Cheers robin

I really must visit there. My concern is being spoiled compared..

check out your LM 101.:) Those that share a similar passion can be friends so quickly! What a great way to exchange ideas and participate in a GTG. Best fernando

My LM 101...

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 15th, 2014-22:49
was not really the favorite piece LOL. There was no clear fav piece - our tastes are so diverse, every watch pretty much got a fan LOL. Yes, the wonders of our hobby - allows us to make friends (and very close ones too) very quickly! Thanks Fernando! Chee... 

Certainly a great night and wonderful gtg..

Thanks again bro for organising!

Very happy to see you that night bro!

And to see you so happy with your Dato is always something that makes me very happy :) Cheers Robin

I take it Stephan . . .

 
 By: Dr No : October 16th, 2014-08:14
. . . couldn't make it this time, Robin. There would've been a few vintage lovelies to accompany the spectacular examples on hand had he been present! Casual g-t-gs are the best part of this hobby ;-) . . .

Stefan couldn't make it indeed

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 17th, 2014-07:46
You guessed it right Art :) We missed him and his vintage pieces. Next gtg we will do our best to accommodate his schedule. Recently he has been quite busy with work. Cheers Robin

wow! beautiful pieces.. [nt]

 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 17th, 2014-07:47
We could have even more beautiful pieces! :) Hopefully one day we can meet again Ovi Cheers Robin

An impressive gathering!

 
 By: foversta : October 17th, 2014-13:42

That's what we do in GTGs, we pool our collection and admire each others' watches :) Sharing as a community is the best ! Cheers robin
