A great night!
Made even more special for the meeting of Aptronym for the first time!
I think I may have taken a few more timepieces than I really "needed" to, though all were enjoyed ;-)
It was also notable for the introduction of another "tweep" who had no knowledge of the watch nerdery she was going to let herself in for!
An event that should be mirrored all over the world in my eyes.

I think you brought along the most timepieces...
...and our non-watch person dealt with it all really well, I think. It wouldn't surprise me if, at some point, she actually buys herself a watch! Nice to put a face to you, Mr Tom.
