Another very fun GTG with fellow PuristS in Singapore!

Oct 15, 2014,08:36 AM
 

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 fancy food, no alcoholic drinks, just plain old family food, good company and friendship and sharing of watches! Here are some of the watches we shared tonight. Quite an impressive spread! 

Thanks to Ianny, kfc, orangedial, Dylan61, HPoirot, yming and NT931 for joining this gtg and making this happen!

Feel free to add more pics you took too! I used some of your pics already lol thanks for sending to me!

Let's meet again soon

Cheers
Robin

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!

Was great to meet you for the first time too finally! We can plan for a mega GTG next time :) Cheers robin

Simple food, Complicated Watches...

 
 By: NT931 : October 15th, 2014-09:28
... 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

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 15th, 2014-22:44
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..

 
 By: Ronald Held : October 15th, 2014-13:50
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..

 
 By: Ronald Held : October 16th, 2014-04:37
to other GTG venues, from what I have read.

lot of dream watches, thank you so much!

The FPJ belongs to a dear bro of mine...

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 15th, 2014-22:47
It's stunning indeed! The dial and blued hands are beautiful and when I saw the movement.... I was super impressed! Cheers robin

Looks like a great gtg

Bar is raised very high now LOL Cheers robin

I bet everyone wanted to ....

 
 By: fernando : October 15th, 2014-21:03
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..

 
 By: dylan61 : October 15th, 2014-23:29
Thanks again bro for organising!

Very happy to see you that night bro!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 17th, 2014-07:44
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: Horology75 : October 17th, 2014-05:48

If you were with us Ovi....

 
 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
