Amanico recounts the first of two Italian GTGs, offering a glimpse into a gathering of passionate watch collectors. His post captures the essence of these community events: good company, excellent food, and a remarkable display of diverse timepieces. The article highlights specific watches shared, emphasizing the unique stories and camaraderie that define WatchProSite meetups.
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
