This post offers a glimpse into the personal connections and shared passion that define the WatchProSite experience, encouraging new members to engage.

We have some discrete members, in Corsica. You all know Tombub, our dear Thomas, but we also have some lurkers, such as Matteu and Ste. Two great gentlemen, who are a bit too shy to participate.

Their love for watches is awesome, their collection, too.

So, we decided to have an informal GTG in Cargese... In a bar at the beach, and at Matteu's restaurant, " A Volta ". The place is sumptuous. We had a great moment.

Here are some of the watches we could see.

The " Paillote "

And Matteu's restaurant.

And it was just a part of the watches we could admire!

Ste, Matteu, don't be shy, we are all friends, here, and there is no reason not to participate.

All the best, my friends.

PS: You may want to change "there is no reason to participate" into "there is no reason NOT to participate", since I'm sure that's what you meant :-)) ;-) [nt]
