I lived in NYC for 8 years before moving across country, but will hopefully be moving back this year. Would love to attend a meetup at some point. [nt]

Looks like a great get together. Anyone care to tell what Duometre model that is?

The bearded fellow.

He doesn't post much anymore, but he has come to lunch with a bunch of us quite often. He has the most incredible collection of vintage watches this side of The Atlantic. The Beta 21 is his as well.

Merci, Padj. [nt]

All the vintages were brought by Bill Sohne, Nicolas, except . . .

. . . for my Flightmaster. Here's a photo of the Mido tuxedo . . . . . . taken from my seat at the table. Back tomorrow with more pics and commentary . . . ...  

Bill brought a couple of modern pieces . . .

 
 By: Dr No : February 4th, 2020-13:56
. . . starting with the one he wore to the restaurant, a Zenith EP chronometer ca 2000, if memory serves correct. Also a Seiko Marinemaster - remarkable heft, imposing presence. Terrific diver. Fortunately, there's a PADI in my collection already, otherwi...  

Tempting, very tempting . . .

. . . and not easily forgotten . . .

Absolutely! [nt]

Looks like you had a great time

It was a lot of fun.

These lunches are always a blast and a learning experience.

I brought only the Flightmaster . . .

 
 By: Dr No : February 4th, 2020-11:45
. . . and, like the shoemaker's children, failed to take a snap of it. Thankfully, Mike did. ;-)

It looks great ๐Ÿ‘ [nt]

If I go shopping....

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2020-04:33
We could make that 3 ! ;-))

Ha ha ....

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2020-11:01
Maybe next year !

That would be great! [nt]

Wow! How nice dear Mike! I wish I could be there too!! Nice friends to meet again and fabulous watches to view. Hope next time I will be able to make it!

I imagine you had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for sharing! All the best, Abel.

Anytime youโ€™re in the NYC area!

Only downside of the GTG was that there was no notice...

 
 By: Ronald Held : February 3rd, 2020-12:00
Of it happening.

It was not a GTG, Ronald.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : February 4th, 2020-09:05
It just started out as a chance to see Ken.

Very intrigued with the Czapek watches

 
 By: jleno : February 3rd, 2020-19:42
What was your impression of them?

Very nicely finished.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : February 4th, 2020-09:09
And the red and green dials are both a bit unusual and very attractive. They were also 38mm which worked very well. The big one was big:43.5.

Deeply impressed . . .

 
 By: Dr No : February 4th, 2020-13:35
. . . with both design and execution. Ken brought two, and his girlfriend Yuko her own, which makes three altogether at a six-person g-t-g. That's a lotta Czapeks! ...  

Very attractive! The enamel and guilloche dials are great on these!

 
 By: jleno : February 4th, 2020-20:06
Looking forward to seeing them in the metal one day

Thanks for including me, DP . . .

 
 By: Dr No : February 4th, 2020-13:39
. . . always a good time in NYC, not to mention the opportunity of seeing your recent indie heartthrob . . . . . . in the metal. Classic design, modern execution. I'm jealous! ...
