You are a long term member, even though you don't post a lot;, these last months. Your spirit was with us, as well as your husband, The Bimb. As for watches, don't worry, there are still some nice one to get. Friendship is over watches. All the best y, un... 

Thank you for the superb report, Nico. Someday I hope to be there. Ed

Hope you will make it, one day, my friend. I still owe you a beer or two. Best, Nicolas.

Your enthusiasm and warmth are inspirational. Ed

I'm now very sad that i was'nt able to join you over in Paris for what looks like yet another memorable European summer GTG but I'm afraid work got in the way. Looks like you all had a fantastic time. It's great to see a gtg with so many vintage watches a... 

We should organize much more meetings between our two towns. See you soon? Best, Nicolas.

I must try harder! Best wishes. Vernon

Needless to say, how nice again these days and moments together were, so kindly orchestrated for us - a real enjoyment to have been able to attend, to take part ! - Moments of laughter, moments of camaraderie .. elements of learning, with sighting and tou... 

you said it perfectly to the last dot.... pleasure meeting you life is funny we live in almost adjacent countries yet it took us to Paris to meet but it was more than worth it Salut Damjan

How many times did you come, this year, myt friend? You're the most parisian of all the Austrians I know. Aaah, by the way, I heard that King Of Cool planned to come before the end of this year, hmmmmm? You wouldn't hide something to Vlad the Brain Reader... 

.. and a very kind friend, indeed ! And what better can there be than seeing friends, time & again ? There always is more than one reason to re-visit my favourite city, Paris - and from what I know, there is coming up a pretty strong temptation to stick t... 

You played it ala Vishnoo, once again! Best, and thanks, my friend. Nicolas.

.. for Vishnoo to know that The Dark Lord takes so good care, - and always has a friendly, but watchful eye for what eventually makes it to the wrist of (Padawanly) KoC. This time has again been special, also as the Speedo knowingly comes from a very good...

.. the name, just needed to be said indeed, and done with pleasure & sincere gratitude to all the organizers and the whole group, again ! - appreciated the moments together.. Thx to both of you for your kind words, Best, hs

to the organisers of this extraordinary event. The forum has taken on a deeper richness for me. The chance to see so many amazing watches in the steel was one thing, but to meet so many great people was the true pleasure. We squeezed a years worth of expe... 

Man, we had such a terrific week end. I felt a bit dizzy, yesterday, and totally exhausted, but so happy to know that everybody had fun and lived a great moment. To do again, and more often... Best, my friend. Nicolas.

..pictures of great pleasure.. I qwish I had been there And you are right, PPRO rules Best Hans

Friends, A huge thank you for an extraordinary experience! So great to meet cyber friends in person and to see all the beautiful watches in real! Biggest joy for me was to meet all you guys in real – both old and new friends… But also to see and hear abou... 

How cannot you fall in love with the Longines Chronos? With a superb Speedmaster ( even if not my favourite Chrono, by far, but I fall for a nice 2915, as the one we saw )? How not to succomb to these Weems, Fifty Fathoms, Rolex? It was my pleasure to sha... 

Nicolas ! This year's gtg was sooo crazy .. new people (a lot of them) and (new) watches (a lot of them). I met new friends, old friends, people with the same passion .... but some with extreme passion I saw a lot of watches i hardly ever heard of ... the... 

I'ms still trying to recover. The Weems is in my short list. Just have to find the right one, which is not an easy target. See yous soon! All the best, and thanks for your friendship. Nicolas.

and as usual, so many amazing pieces... The 2 Rolex GMT, it's always a pleasure to see the rare variant of the GMT, especially in such a fantastic condition The Longines Plot watches, something I haven't noticed before.. But seems like a very beautiful wa... 

But we warned, your wish list may well be longer! Seems we have some very common tastes in watches, my friend. Thanks for your nice words. Next time, just make it! All the best. Nicolas.

I hope one day I can make it to one of these GTG in Paris or somewhere else, to meet all of you... About my wish list getting longer... I'm sure just by reading PPro, it has made my wish list longer... I won't be surprised if it will be much longer and mo... 

I mean ,the extensible wish lists. As for Paris, you're always welcome, Sam. Just let me knwo, I will take care of the rest. Best, Nicolas.

Thank you Nicolas Best, Sam

I've had the privilege to join the event as a guest and I can say I spent a unforgettable day in many ways. For the array of watches brought by the participants since I've been able to admire some of the most beautiful timepieces I could dream of, for the...  

For those who don't know Laurent, he's one of the biggest collector of Vintage Heuer. The Table shot was indeed breathtaking. A pity I had to speak with a guy who wanted to buy my fake 6542! Thank you for such a terrific picture, my friend and see you soo... 

I'm so glad you were able to join us - I know you are a watch maniac through and through! LOL. Not so long next time, eh!

Really impressive range there. My favourites were those old Breguets. Old school cool!

The bad thing is that our wish list gets bigger, and the good thing is that we will certainly make some nice dreams. Best, my friend. Nicolas.

Looks like you guys had a blast! beautiful watches, great food, wine, and friends, you can't get any better than that! I wish I was there to meet my fellow watch nuts! Maybe in the future. Best SamEE

Have all the fun and the watches! Sweet GTG! Some crazy pieces present (2 5070?!?)

Do we have all the fun? Yes, certainly. We are waiting for you, Phil. When you want. Best, Nicolas.

It was a quiet Saturday afternoon and I thought a brief meet up with the host before the big GTG on 10th ... Then I saw this. Yes the in famous 6610 with the correct lollipop hands. The texture of the index marker can almost be mistaken to be cookies. A s...  

We would never work.... Very nice pics, Tyler. Happy that you loved the moment. Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-10-13 10:10:49

It is a rare phenomenon to see a few crazy people bringing so many nice vintage watches in a gathering. Instead of jet lag, my friend Tyler is now suffering from "watch lag". Regards Ling

Wish I was in Paris for a moment ;-)

Been even better to see you on Monday, as it was the D Day, but you know that it won't be the last one... We need to build a " bridge " between London and Paris. Let's work on that. All the best. Nicolas.

I see i missed a very nice GTG, hope you all had fun, try to be there next time.... Best, Michel

We had great fun! Tell me, aren't you in Paris quite soon? All the best, Nicolas.

Wished I were there! As I haven't gotten enough of IGOTT 2 yet!

You're always welcome, my friend. Really. My town is tour town. All the best, Nicolas.

I *almost* feel as if I had attended the GTG. The vintage watches (and the more modern watches) are beautiful! And it is clear that you have all developed amazing friendships. Thanks again for sharing and allowing us a glimpse into your events.

I would love to be there! If you could manage a get together in June . . . . .maybe

This year it was a bit different because of our IGOTT II in Vegas, which was in lare May / Early June. But next year, we'll have our european / parisian GTG in June, as some of our american friends come in Paris, at this moment of the year. It may also be...
