I made it to the London GTG in 2009. Didn’t we have one in 2008 as well?


I remember that Roger Smith came to one of them. I seem to remember that at the time his watches were £40-50k.  Bargain!

Best wishes

Why don’t we, with the assistance and participation of one of the moderators just to uphold the rules, organize a virtual GTG via Zoom? Ie Max 10 or 12, first come first serve. Or we run a few with special brand interests or whatever? After all it’s bette... 

Could be

You could very well be right but then again it’s 2020 and the world is in lockdown. We now play quiz night with the hole family scattered around the globe. And it’s incredible fun. If you had asked me 6 months back if a “Virtual Family Quiz Night” via Zoo...

Dubai?

Its halfway between East and West and a pretty interesting dynamic city. Culture and history zero but not a single westerner is bothered by that haha Anyway just wanted to add an option

It’s a great city

Bars in every hotel, great food, fantastic cigar lounges where you can still smoke a Cuban indoors and most major brands represented here (well for now). If we plan it with sufficient lead time we could expand and for instance meet with one of the leading...

Dubai is one of the safest cities in the world. Crime rate is extremely low. Many in Europe have the impression that since this is an Islamic country, you can’t get alcohol woman must wear veils etc etc. But no, you can consume alcohol as much you like, w... 

I concur!

Let's enjoy some hospitality in Dubai!

I’ll gladly assist where I can.

 
 By: Jurry : May 8th, 2020-11:58
It’s gonna be great and I can imagine some will depart first flight after GTG due to work, others might stay for one or few days. For those who stay, I will also gladly assist in making these days unforgettable.

See your pm [nt]

Even worse, up to 6 years ago I knew virtually nothing about watches, had one Rolex from early days in my career that’s it. Then I became interested, bought my first more serious watch and only 4 years ago did I discover this forum. the combination of the...

Not only my wife and both our daughter and son, but even our daughter in law is now infected. When my son and his wife were on vacation in Milan (2 years ago COVID didn’t exist) they came across an VC AD. They went in, chatted had coffee and on way out to...
