Thanks for the report
The striking 10 tugs at the heart !
And the type 20 aren't half bad either !
I'm amazed there are watch events in Birmingham....let alone Zenith watch events
mercman,
Dropping in, tongue-in-cheek to express surprise there is any horological life in Birmingham.
I'm a runaway British citizen who lived for a short while in Balsall Heath....yes, I am Chinese and the whitest guy living there at the time! 
I used to wonder why all my neighbours' favourite table lampshade colour was red and they left the lamp switched on, in the front bay window, showing through a gap in the curtains.
We know that the heart of British industrial watch making was in Birmingham hundreds of years ago....but today?
Seriously, thank you for sharing and showing there are Brummie PuristS.

MTF
Offensive
I know your post was intended as 'tongue in check' but it's really surprising to see such an offensive and arguably racism comment from a senior Purists figure.
Birmingham is the UK's second city so why wouldn't there be plenty of watch fans???!!!!
Apologies: No offence meant
maximus,

Thank you for recognising my tongue-in-cheek comments were self-depreciating.
I learnt British dry humour does not translate online.
It was a reflection of my poverty at that time; only able to afford cheap accommodation in a red light district. Descriptions and observations of my street were accurate.....at the time.....I stand by them, without prejudice but also without fear. No offense meant and none should be presumed.
Things have improved since the 1970s and districts like Balsall Heath and Bull Ring have been transformed since the end of the 1990s. There has been much urban ethic cleansing and neighbourhood watch schemes.
This Zenith event was held at The Cube - a landmark building of urban renewal in 2010.
I meant to highlight that Birmingham was (and still is) an engineering heartland of the UK. All the best watchmaking workshops were in Birmingham and the city has its own hallmark stamp for gold and silver case makers.
As you pointed out, it is the UK's 2nd city. Thus, it should not be surprising for watch events for brummie watch lovers to be in Birmingham.
Reports are usually from London so I am encouraging more regional events.
Regards,
MTF
