PuristS NY GTG Report - 6 Feb 2008

Without further ado I give you New York.

 

This was the view from the Restaurant

 

We had a comfortable two table set up with gaggle of Purists on each table.  In military slang, a gaggle is described as an unorganized group doing nothing. In aviation, it is a large, loosely organized tactical formation of aircraft.  In Pursit slang, it is a large, unorganized formation of watch nuts talking tactics about this crazy watch hobby we practice for the shear enjoyment of it.  Nothing more and nothing less.

 

Some Lurkers some new Members and a first time buyer wearing a Lange Perpetual (how about that for a first)

 

One gentleman here had a serious Patek infection.  We wish his pocket book a fast recovery

 

You will have to wait for the table shot to peer at a few.

 


Not sure what the subject was but looked interesting

 

Bill Sohne (Omega+ King Pin) brought in his new Iphone – the one with a big screen (fit in Bill's pocket) – how about that.

 

Bill S's neighbor brought in some amazing vintage watches which included, IWC, Seiko and JLC.  I hope he will post some shots and joy us here.

 

One guest didn't the memo about the Tux

 

We had one of the serving staff who knew his stuff and joined in

 

 

Table shots

 

A little patek trio

 

 

RM 11 at center stage, IWC Chrono, Red Sub,Omega Rail Master, Amvox, Lange Perpetual- Too many to name

 

 

Time to go

 

Thank you all of the Purists who participated.  Scott thanks for the extra effort. 


It would be great if you all checked into this post.  We also look forward to many more across the country and the world.
