Met up with two purists last week in Singapore
A small group, but sharing friendship and a a love for our tic tacs....made for a very nice time.
Some quick pictures to share - lighting wasn't the best, but that's secondary. The time spent was great, and the watches...I love the 25 year old Explorer...the story behind it for the owner is the icing on the cake. And the GS - a watch that is just flawless. The finishing and practicality plus the smoothness of the sweep of a spring drive is as close to perfect as one can get. From the pictures, you can tell that they're not safe queens, but have a journey to tell about.
Even the waiter commented positively on the Rolex and GS....

Glad you had a good time
Sorry for not being able to join the gtg this time as I am traveling. Btw I like what you said on the flawless GS which is so exact about the true face of this brand. Stefan

Few timepieces but a great diversity. Bravo! Best wishes Alkiro
Didn't really see that diversity :-)
But that\'s because we were having fun just chatting over some beers and watches...
Looking like a fun GTG :)
Something tells me Damjan was not there - he does not allow participation at under 5 watches a person Some really cool pieces, actively worn and still perfect in their different ways The Explorer looks great on a strap, I have to say and I have always bee...
That depends on the quality and speed of the waiter ;)
One can manage with a small table, as long as automatic replenishment is in place
Damjan is a tough master to please ;-)
He would not have been pleased with just one per person at this table for sure, but we can make up for it. I agree with your observation on the strap suiting the Explorer very well, and appreciate your compliments on my XXL. It does add some flavor to the...
The Moonphase is still a complication I need to add to my collection at some point :)
But not yet sure which one
Black and white themes make for striking contrasts...
Noticed the second hands on all three watches are in sync, which is nice! I'm personally quite biased towards GS - their sweeping hands on the SD isn't something too commonly seen Regards, skyeriding
