Thanks Mike for organizing!
It was great seeing everyone both new and old.
Other than watches, especially enjoyed the conversations around the "millenials" and different directions brands are taking!
Looking forward to the next one again!
NYC GTG: April 28th
We had a good turn-out for our GTG this past Saturday. Got to pass around some interesting and rare pieces, both modern and vintage. Really nice was that some PuristS showed up that aren't regular posters and so a lot of new friendships started up. The Ye...
Please post of the pictures of the individual pieces there 😋
Wow... What a great time you had there! 😄
More important than a mere GTG, was there meaningful sharing of Passion Opinion and Information?
I'm sorry for family reasons that there was no chance to attend. I've heard from some attendees that the GTG and ancillary events provided more than good food , drink and chit chat. What transpired, we ask? Thanks for your images until the camera battery ...
Argh...I missed seeing some of the cool watches from the first table
Clearly the vintage Omega discussion at our table created a force-field that kept other brands out. 😂 There were 2 Datographs present and both had an exquisite pusher activation, silky smooth, unmatched to anything I have. I cannot get it out of my mind. ...
Haha...The 1st gen Dato sits fairly well on my wrist
(based on playing with Padj’s one) My secret weapon is I think you can fit a Rolex Daytona bracelet on it (Dato & Daytona have similar lugs), I’m thinking a jubilee bracelet with the micro-adjustment clasp can work with a Dato. It would make the Dato more...
We didn’t have a single Rolex that I noticed so next time we need you to represent the Crown
🙏😄😁 (Because God knows I won’t be getting a call from a Rolex AD this decade...)
Looks amazing
I just joined this site "officially" this morning and really wish I had known about this gathering earlier. Some really nice pieces on that table...especially the FP Journe and Lange's. Hope to make the next get together!!!
Sounds great!
Thanks for the photos Padj! I remember our meeting last July was very successful as well!
GTGs is always a great moment to share, discuss, debate about watches and...
...most important to foster and create new friendships or sustain exist ing ones Glad you had a wonderful time, thanks for sharing them here with these cool pics. Mike
Looking like a fun time was had by all!
Looking forward to joining you at some point in the future
Wow, that JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon in pink gold
is giving me heart palpitations. They have a white-dialed stainless steel model, too...Must resist.
Looks great!
Wanted to go but couldn't as it was my wife's birthday. Missed the Philips exhibit too. Hopefully I can make the next NYC GTG.
Definitely was a good GTG in true Purists fashion. Have not talked to Thomas Mao...
in decade. Lots of good conversations. Looking forward to the next one.
