Ok, the first of our 2 GTGs is over, but still, with many nice souvenirs in our heads... 

A nice place, a good lunch, excellent company, and... Watches. 

Too many watches so I will let Massimiliano, KMII and Gigi discussing them. As well as plates, as I saw that KM II took some food pictures. 

I will post some watches they brought with them. 

Let's start by KMII's Chopard Chronograph. 













A very nice looking watch, I just regret the presence of that date. For the rest, very convincing, I must say. 

Massi came with his two champions, a superb Speedmaster with a météorite dial which surprised me as I didn't get that even the black dial was made in meteorite! 












And his not less superb G.O Senator Perpetual! 








A winning cocktail, here: The Senator case and dial, well known by the amateurs of the brand, full of character and strength, with a certain elegance, a powerful dial, and the perpetual calendar complication. 

Without forgetting to mention a very nice looking movement. Always a pleasure to see this one in the real. 

Our Gigi came with a Nautilus Chrono, Ref 5980, which I will certainly take in picture during our next GTG; 

With time passing, I think it became my favorite Nautilus, since the 3700. 

Time passed as a lightning, 7 hours with friends, you don't see time passing. Better, you loose any notion of time, which is a paradox for watch lovers. 

Next stop over, Croatia, on next Tuesday. I have the feeling it won't be disappointing! 

Stay tuned. 

Best,

Nicolas

I am sure KM II, Massi and Gigi will chime in. Sadly we were not lucky with weather, but when you are in such good company, it doesn't really matter. [nt]

That's a new background for your pictures.

Local to Trieste, or have you modified your photo laboratory?
