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 Equation of Time (I don't think you mean that) and a de Bethune DB25 jewellery with diamonds depicting the Geneva sky and 44 blue baguettes around the bezel. It is mine
The GTG took place in Hong Kong where I am based - my overseas dealer decided to hand deliver the 5370P to me and wanted to treat my collector friends to dinner. Next time we will invite you, if you would like to attend a similar function
Best
Sam

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

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

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

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'

GTGs are the best.

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 :)

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

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....
Very good eyes

The Simplicity is so subtle and beautiful...
