Recommended Posts

Member X

Luthier is pretty much exactly the same in RL :)

Luth's daughter is cool

Everyone's English is excellent, whereas us english guys' french / german / swedish / danish / latvian is shamefully poor :blush:

Solkryssare is a lightweight :P

Pobjednik does not say much on the forum but quite a lot in real life...

mspangl has awesome builds and a very patient girlfriend lol

eiderdaus knows faaarrrrrrr too much about Subs to be healthy

I could listen to nullmind's stories for ages

Superman is a bit of a London Geezer lol

Digger is a classically cool Swede and must surely live in a house full of sleek Ikea furniture, despite his assertions that other furniture shops exist in Sweden

Andygt is sound as a pound, despite being northern ;)

Wiz might well be getting a PM from me about some work... :rofl:

Daytonas need to be bigger!

Ploprofs look silly on me :P

Rabbit is quite boney lol

I shouldn't drive tired and without satnav in London

 

Oh, and I definitely need to get an SMP300, a yellow dial breitling, an SD, a YM... :facepalm:;)

Excellent summary.

 

Now we need to organize a US GTG.

 

Philly? Or Las Vegas?

 

Silly question ;)

Member X's 1675 is amazing.

If you meant my watch @ the SMP300 then mine is a Seamaster 300 ;)

 

Imo the Daytona looked great on your wrist if I remember right.. They're small but amazing :lmao2:

Silly question :popcorn:

Dendo, I've tried this several times and it has always died before. Seclark007 has a thread about a US GTG in Toronto in the spring sometime. I for one would like to do a sooner rather than later US east coast GTG, before Christmas even. In November or early December. Let's make it happen! Philly is a great spot actually considering we have members that live there, Maryland, New York etc. We can easily get a dozen guys to commit but we have to really do it this time! I'm down but let's get a plan started and a list so it doesn't die this time.

Pittsburgh...heck you would get at least you three and me. That is 60% of the London GTG. Might get HD and timmytwitch, maybe Rav.

Definitely an option Rich! I hadn't thought of Pittsburgh. My wife has never been and wants to go, that would be an easy way to convince her! I went to school at IUP and spent a lot of time in the Burgh on weekends.

I'm assuming no face pics? Don't want to ruin my international man of mystery line of work ;):popcorn:

Haha Yes, my error! It looked lovely :popcorn:

 

The Daytona was also really really nice :) but I think I need 40mm+! I will have to find that thread with the possible larger version snapped on a celeb...

Guys - I am okay with Pittsburgh but Philly might be easier for flights, trains etc. Mike McNair is close and it is kinda equidistant for GHR if my geography is okay.

 

How about Friday 28th October?

 

Will PM you guys separately.

It's a short train ride for me to Philly, that would be optimal! I replied to your PM but realized I have big plans that night! Early November an option? I can't miss this!

Philly, Pittsburgh? It is all the same thing right? Well except for that whole crime thing in Philly. But they do have those wonderful sandwiches. I can do either. I got season tics to college football but I can escape for a weekend. Only weekend I can't do it is 2nd weekend of Oct.
