The Watch Band is Paris. A informal GTG like I love them.

Not too many people, time to spend with each member of the group, quality and friendship time, to say it better, and some nice watches around an excellent meal. Heaven on Earth for every watch nut. Here are two pictures whuch sum the moment quite well. So...
My head is still buzzing ...

... after all the watches and conversations (and possibly the wine). There were already PuristS from 6 countries represented last night, and more to come. As more than one person remarked to me ... Paris is a dangerous place to visit! And it's rare that I...
Enjoy gentlemen

I wished I was there with you.
What a dinner!
By: Marv : April 21st, 2012-04:38
All ingredients for a excellent dinner were here: Gorgeous watches & Good food. But, from excellent to amazing, you need to add something more... Friendship & Passion. This is the recipe for a magic dinner. My thanks to the cook!

Nicolas cannot appear on film. When there is a mirror, he has no reflection. On film, he is not visible. It's the "way of the vampire". I have to say, I am very jealous of the occasion. Would have been great to be there. Is that Bloman and Eitan I see? At...
It is a pity ...

Uff, Vladimir!! :)

A little but true GTG, hermano. I´m really sad for not sharing these moments with my European Hermanos. I´m really sure that all of you spend really great and friendship moments. And what about the watches (the excuse, of course)?? Great!!! The amazing Fi...
Paris - I think it happened again!
By: Ubik : April 24th, 2012-03:32
A wonderful weekend in Paris in the company of Purist friends, old and new. Thanks to all in this community that made it such a wonderful event. A big thanks to our Patron for organising the events and for posting bail when necessary. Hangover 2 - I think...
That is what I call a true Bastardo Report.
By: amanico : April 24th, 2012-09:43
Now, everybody will understand that there are gatherings and GATHERINGS. This one was top madness, as we love it! Superb report, my friend. Best, Nicolas

WOW talk about a watch party!
By: TdotBean : April 24th, 2012-20:06
That's it I coming over next time 1st gotta prepare the liver and the stomach. All the drinking and watches will surely turn my gastrointestinal system inside out. Regards Tyler
That really sums up the weekend ...

By: sclamb : April 26th, 2012-03:32
It looks like you all had a wonderful couple of days of fun, friendship, watches, food and drink. What better way to spend time than with such friends. The London GTG is becoming more of an extravaganza, but I hope there is room for a large event alongsid...
Too bad you were not able to do it, my friend.
By: amanico : April 26th, 2012-03:44
But, alas, we don't always control things of life,. I ma pretty sure we'll have another opportunity to meet, without having to wait for 4 more years... As for what we share, I love your sense of humour, really love it! Best, Nicolas

Damn you! :)))
By: amanico : April 26th, 2012-06:31
Next time we meet, you'd better protect your neck! Happy to know that you liked the small tour. As for Pascaline, I see some sparks in Fifty Quids eyes... It was indeed a crazy moment, shared in all friendship. To do, again. Best, my friend. Nicolas

i lost 10kg before this trip and now i need to lose it all again, but it was well worth it. i took very few pics mainly due to talking and eating. Bim's pic of the Ollech & Wajs is a stunner. only a light tent would make a better one due to the 5mm thick ...
