trailboss99 994 Posted December 15, 2009 Here are some pics. Some of the gang of a dozen or so who turned up. Wat44, Offshore, Phaedo, KB, me, Bob Bean and others. Someone with a memory for names fill in the blanks please! Wat44's watch case was rather popular. One of Bob Bean's hand made straps. He does real nice work! KB's RWG1 watch. Without this piece (and those like it) RWI and RWG2 may well never have been! A real live VDB on yours truly's wrist. Pity it's not my watch as well. Yup, the damn Pam bug has bit now. Curse you all! Beer and watches, what more could a guy want? Well, since AHW wasn't available anyway The GTG went on untill about 7pm or so when Bob, OS and myself retired to the cross to continue shooting the breeze in the somewhat less salubrious surroundings of the Beefsteak and Burbon's footpath seating while watching the passing King's Cross parade of drunks, druggies and hookers mingle with the cops and local fireies, limmos, bikers and even the Govenor General herself passing by. It was great to see folk from all four fora gathered in one place. AFIK this is a first so chalk up another #1 for OZ. Next come Brisbane so the QLD contingent as well as anyone else who feels like making a trip to the sunshine state is in for a great time early in the new year. Col.

Member X 91 Posted December 15, 2009 I'm still surprised that bar staff don't come up and ask people to leave at these things - it looks like you're flogging dodgy watches out of a briefcase! LoL Looks a great day though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted December 15, 2009 Did get a few odd looks from other tables, mostly from folk who looked like they knew a good watch when they saw one. At least one guy walked past and did a perfect double take complete with dinner plate eyes. I think he saw the VDB and asumed he was looking at 150k plus of watch being bandied about. Col.

Member X 91 Posted December 15, 2009 LOL Funny I'm not sure whether it's a good or a bad thing to introduce reps to these people - they either seem to be snobby and therefore a risk when you're in a public environment in case they call 'the law', or they may be really interested! But you never know until you've sounded them out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
