Are you all sick of BaselWorld yet? Well we thought we would hold our own BasilWorld, Aussie style, over pizza and beer. A group of Melbourne watch enthusiasts have been meeting monthly for convivial conversation, watches, beer and food (in that approxima...
on ordering the basil pizza. I was wondering. I really like the Accutron Deep Sea, and the Calatrava & Royal Oak are both beautiful to see in the metal. A great range of people & watches. Already looking forward to next time. grumio
We will have to make BasilWorld an annual post-Basel event. Who knows where we will end up next month. How about an Omega theme for the next WatchBand GTG? Great to see everyone. Andrew
As a 'tweep', albeit not a Melbourne one, I was wondering about the sudden appearance of a 'Watchband' mention. I like it a lot! The trio are really interesting, and I would love to see the Vulcain Annivesary in the flesh in particular. I'll bring along m...
... once I found it on the table! Actually it's very cool. Quite a solid hunk of dive watch, but more legible than the black-on-black would suggest. Interesting luminosity as well when charged. You would of course be welcome, with the Vulcain or otherwise...
Good to see that you now have a name , but I have a suggestion , if its not too late . The STarts . Southern Tarts Regards ... Chris Launder . [Link to external site deleted as per PPro Code of Conduct] This message has been edited by AndrewD on 2011-04-1...
... more corny than The Tarts, so we went with the typically conservative and low-key "WatchBand". If any watch geeks are visiting from interstate or internationally, send a PM message to me, or contact one of the group via the usual social-networking sit...
MelbourneWatchBand is an awesome bunch of group. Great to meet all the crews last night. Thanks to Andrew for a lovely pictures here. Didn't know my new adopted child will meet her sibling there! Looking forward for the next time.
Yet another example of the huge gulf between East and West. If we can ever find a second watch tragic here in the West we'll be sure to wow you with a snappy monicker and food shots to leave you salivating. Cheers, pplater.
What a name! :p Looks like a great GTG! Pizza, watches and buddies. What could be better? I like the look of that Vulcain Anniversary Heart a lot. We rarely see the watch on the forum. My only regret is that the movement is obstructed by a stylized "V" mo...
Hi Andrew, it looks like you did not pull out the big boys for this GTG. I don't see the amazing F.P. Journe dead seconds. Well I don't blame you, you can't be pulling that one out where ever. Thanks for sharing buddy. Cheers SamEE
I grew up with Basil Rathbone playing Sherlock Holmes - well actually it was probably Daffy Duck playing Dorlock Homes that first introduced me to the famous detective. But I have a soft spot for Basil, and haven't been able to bring myself to watch the m...
The 'big guns' have their place, but so much horological fun to be had at all levels. An Omega theme sounds like fun, and we have a few keen Omega-philes amongst the group. Looking forward to it. Andrew
Also have 2 Blancpains , 2 Omega Chronos & one Panerai . I'm overdue for a trip down south , I'll try and organise something , perhaps in June . Please let me know , if possible , what happenings will be on closer to the date . Keep in touch , Regards .
