Looks like you had a great time!

Very nice group of watches! Best Blomman

We had a terrific time

Good food, good wine, great company. One of us also authored and published a book (on Bespoke Shoes). He gave each of us a limited edition of the book! Best Sam

Lange 1 PC Tourby AND PP 5370 in the same shot....

and the KV, Dufour.... This is heavy hitting indeed!! What is the watch bottom center, with the flowery dial?

An Omega [nt]

We did

A wonderful piece.

We will get Mo in Zagreb ;) [nt]

We better.

But I have an alternate place in mind. Although, he may be too stylish for us.

I'm with you all the way :-)

Dufour, Roger Smith...just to name few independents. Pure admiration for these collectors.

Thank you for sharing

 
 By: ztirual : January 5th, 2017-09:17
A wonderful gathering of collectors, it seems. It says it all when, imho, the likes of AL&S and PP are outshone by more confidential and desirable time pieces. Best Z'

You are aboslutely right

 
 By: samwan : January 5th, 2017-17:33
The Independents stole the lime light of the evening....

Just....

 
 By: JFT : January 5th, 2017-09:56
WOW! What a gathering you got there! That enamelled Omega is just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! And happy new year to you too! Best Jev

Glad you spotted the Omega.

 
 By: samwan : January 5th, 2017-16:18
I wanted so much to bid for it in a recent auction.

Is this picture taken in heaven ?

 
 By: Bruno.M1 : January 5th, 2017-10:09
All great but the 5370 beats them all

Thank you. That was the reason for the gathering.

 
 By: samwan : January 5th, 2017-16:19
My dealer from overseas hand delivered it to me last night

That Table Shot Depicts Exactly...

 By: samwan : January 5th, 2017-16:19

Ok. I would take all the pieces for $ 10.000 cash. Deal? ;-)))))))

 
 By: cool runnings : January 5th, 2017-10:43
Awesome collection! Cheers, Dean

GTGs are the best.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : January 5th, 2017-11:36
It is the main reason I spend so much time here, my wife is jealous. I am glad you had a great time and it looks like a wonderful pile. I am especially partial to the Moser as of late.

Get your wife addicted :)

 
 By: samwan : January 5th, 2017-17:36
There were four ladies present last evening, and one of them had a birthday, so surprise, surprise... bet she would never forget the party

I tried getting her addicted.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : January 5th, 2017-20:03
Didn\'t work. But she sure would like a party.

Also, I am jealous just for not being a fly on the wall there.

Happy New Year as well.

Impressive picture!! I love the Debethune watches!!!!

Looks like you had good company Sam

Glad you had a good time. Cheers.

Daymatic in platinum ... very nice one!

just one "humble" pick from this table !

You killed me Sam. Happy new year

Best wishes Alkiro

Hi Sam, all I can say is...

 
 By: GLau : January 6th, 2017-11:43
WOW, WOW, WOW ! In the first photo, the Patek 5131R, Moser green fume, and the watch with blue dial just popped out ! What brand is the one with the blue ? After carefully looking, I saw the Roger Smith and Patek 5575 ! An excellent GTG ! What city was it... 

Hi Gordon

 
 By: samwan : January 6th, 2017-17:38
Good eyes! But you missed the stars of the evening - a 5213G minute repeater perpetual calendar, the 5370P split seconds chronograph and a Simplicity!. They were the purpose of the gathering... There are two watches with a blue dial - one is a Panerai Equ... 

Hi Sam, the intensity of the 5131R enamel dial...

 
 By: GLau : January 6th, 2017-18:10
blinded me to the MR (and others) ! How is the sound ? The blue (floral) dial I was referring do belongs to the watch below the "de greef" tag. Which brand is this one? Yes, would love to join such GTG next time ! Cheers, Gordon

Ah....That's a vintage Omega with enamel dial

 
 By: samwan : January 6th, 2017-18:20
A friend brought it along to tease me after I fell in love with one such piece at a recent auction... Come to think of it - not really a friend....

Hi Sam, that Omega blue floral dial is excellent ! Congrats to your friend !

 
 By: GLau : January 6th, 2017-18:24
My biggest weakness is for artisanal dials such as enamel, hand painting , etc. They are my "kryptonite". LOL !

BTW the sound is gorgeous

 
 By: samwan : January 6th, 2017-18:22
The de Greef tag is actually on the 5327R , a 2016 novelty.

Very good eyes

 
 By: samwan : January 7th, 2017-16:17
The Simplicity is so subtle and beautiful...
