Great report....
your photographs filled in some of the parts of the event I didn't see!
Philipp worked very hard and invested a lot in creating a memorable Passion meeting for us, and it is good that we can share it beyond the attendees!
Great watches, very coold surroundings, and enthusiastic Passionista! That's what it's all about!
Thank you Fernando, and of course, Philipp & Diane.

GTG in HK.
Lucky me! The Rolex Passion Meeting organized by Mr. Philipp Stahl came to HK for the very first time on the 29th. May 2012. The date coincided with the 59th. anniversary of the Everest climb by Sir Edmaund Hillary & Tenzing Norgay. Their sons Peter &...
Thanks for the report, my friend, and happy to see that you will make the plunge soon.
It is noticeable, you don't write in the same way anymore... There is a fever, an intensity in your words, something which means a lot. Best, Nicolas
Yes Nicolas..
the temptation is almost too much to bear! I will take my time though. I'm afraid what I really like now can only be found in a collection such as yours. Do you want me to adopt one of your big crowns? Cheers fernando
Thank you for taking us with you
Dear Fernando, You have given us a chance to participate (though only virtually) for that we thank you. Bravo to Philipp Stahl and thank you to all the collectors around the world that make and drive this passion among us. Best regards Bill
I'm glad you felt...
some of the vibes online Bill but I'm sure you would have been in your element in one of these meets. Chatting with other enthusiasts and hearing and seeing the pieces and the stories that goes with them, made for a very interesting evening. Best fernando

Hello Fernando! Thank you for this wonderful report...
... and sharing your great experience with us! I wish I´ll be able to assist to one of these gatherings someday! I can understand you, that after assisting to a meeting like these ones, your own view about vintage and horology in general can change so muc...
You bet Abel ;)
I'm glad I had the opportunity to see and feel first hand what this passion is all about. Of course reading all the fantastic posts here has prepared me somewhat but nothing beats the hands on experience. People were so kind and generous with their watche...
Great pics and thanks
Thanks for sharing this. Makes me believe now that my recent interest in Rolex is not a wrong thing and has made me appreciate (and wish) that the "crowns" I have will someday be photographed as history making pieces Great event and thanks for sharing the...

You said it well Mike...
the atmosphere, the passionate enthusiasm and of course stunning watches made for a hard to forget GTG! Philipp and Diane were the perfect hosts and I'm sure it wasn't an easy job putting it all together. I'm glad I filled in parts of it which you missed....
