In summary, it can be said that like watches are more fun on the wrist than in the internet, it was also more fun to meet a fellow enthusiast in person. We had a great time and as I was the younger one spending the moment with an experienced collector, I did learn a lot in these few hours - very condensed, very enjoyable. - Thank you Alex!
Resulting this first experience, it's even clearer to me why we see many GTG posts here, and this one should just be another little reminder to continue this culture. Watchprosite is a fantastic platform and meeting these fantastic people is just the cherry on top.
Yours sincerely,

It is so great to meet people who share our passion. Coming from different horizons, we are so close! That's the magic of GTGs. Now, that being said, two watches jumped into my eyes: The 1858 Tachymeter, and the Blancpain FF Milspec. They belong to one of our members? Best, Nicolas
... but I only think that the 1858 is still in the boutique's hands. As the salesperson gave her private phone number in case a decision would be made on Sunday when the shop is closed, we need to wait until the member reveals his final conclusions here. About GTGs and with your words of fueling a virtual world and bringing different people together; you said it even better Nicolas. Merci et salutations, kolosstt
I should join the Zurich Gang, one day. Best, Nicolas
According to the staff, it is the last 1858 Tachymeter available.
We'll work on that. As for the 1858 Tachymeter, indeed, they go fast. The last one, I don't know, but there are not many still not sold, for sure. It is the watch which got most wrist time in these 3 last months for me. Best, Nicolas
Having seen the charm of the blue, it's classic appearance and this first class movement (the list doesn't end here), I can understand why you keep on putting it back onto your wrist. BR, kolosstt
