Great dinner... but ...

Great evening with friends ... in a room apart from a small restaurant that we like.
On the wine side, we spoiled ourselves: white Vougeot and Clos de Tart, a few small dishes from the new menu in preview so it was cool.
On the watch side, very, very heavy:
The first had brought from the stratosphere (Five exceptional vintage Rolex): Daytona Newman, 1665 double Red, Milgauss 6541, Gmt 6542 Bakelite bezel in incredible condition (An extraordinary watch for me) and 16660 Comex ... Two vintage AP Royal Oak with sublime dials. A Jlc Polaris. Two vintage FF (Aqualung and No Rad), all in perfect condition ... I already knew them but each time I take a slap even if I will not feel comfortable wearing them on a daily basis, especially the 6542 whose bezel is particularly fragile. There may only be the Polaris that I dare to wear because I have my grandfather's one that I take out regularly ... I was going to forget and yet it was difficult to miss it: he arrived with a PP 50204P (Split-seconds chrono, perpetual calendar ......) at wrist and killed us before the big unpacking .of the others..
The second took classic: Collection of 10 vintage Memovox including a LeCoultre E870 and the discovery of its latest one, a E855 Lapis Lazulis (J’adore). On his wrist a master great tradition cylindrical tourbillon ... Well the tourbillon is not a gyro but I find it hypnotic!
The third was lunar: 10 of his Omega Speed ​​including an Ed White, a snoopy and many other references that I do not know. It was nice to see even if my knowledge of this brand is very limited. A bit like a vertical in wine.
The fourth was me, the little... and yet: 116500, 126710 BLRO and BLNR, 116600, 126622 for Rolex and Reverso Gmt large size & large Sun Moon, TT Polaris & Deep Sea, Amvox I for JLC. .. On the wrist a simple Jaeger chrono bi-compax.
Well some should have come with the Brink's ... but it was just a courier's backpack ....
It was a very very good night between guys.
Unfortunately no photo, however, we have a rule to enjoy it without being disturbed, smartphones remain at the bar. Otherwise there is always one above. It's our old side ...
Best

released something extraordinary or thrilling, will tomorrow be different, or just another ho-hum announcement.?? New movement here, upgrade here and there and this or that discontinued. "Time" will tell.

Would be interested too👍 [nt]

initially I would have preferred to have it on an oyster bracelet, but I must admit that after trying the jubilee bracelet I have no regrets, both visually and for the comfort. Best
