Thanks to our host(s)!
I was one of the "first-timers" and want to thank Michael and everyone else - veterans and newcomers alike - for their hospitality and great conversation. The range of watches was amazing, and I finally was able to see many that I knew only from post photos and renderings. I've learned a lot from everyone on the site over the years, and now plan to start bringing out my pieces
October 20th in New York City
We had a great GTG yesterday in Manhattan. Some new faces, some regulars, and a lot of watches and fun. We even had a couple of Purists who traveled here from Continents away! Thanks to everyone who showed up and made our get-together a blast! ...
Every watch is beautiful
But; that Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon is the best thing for a while. Fantastic piece. Thanks for sharing mate!
If only I could merge these two . . .
. . . unfocused pics . . . . . . we'd have a clearer view of the undisputed heavyweight champion of the gathering. ;-) ...
Great to see everyone had a great time. Thanks for sharing.
Mike thanks for sharing the moment. Art and Able. Art I know well but Abel I guessed from the new watch on his wrist. Good to see Ken who I met some ten years ago at an NY GTG. Enjoy. Bill
Yes Bill: we all know Art and it was a great and beautiful surprise for me...
To meet him as I wasn’t aware he was coming for this GTG! And yes that’s me with the photographer vest and my new golden case turtle seiko. Hope to meet you soon!! All the best! Abel
The pleasure was all mine, Abel . . .

Friday evening is "calmer" than Saturday
For your first time, Friday evening is worth the additional expense. It is full but not overcrowded, and there are better opportunities to speak with the watchmakers and brand representatives. I would recommend focusing Friday evening on the top 4-5 brand...
Agreed with Paul
Friday is much calmer. Saturday is a "zoo". Friday ticket pays for itself as there is open buffet and bar. See you there Jay and Paul!
Nice Meeting Everyone This Past Weekend!
Here's a pic of the evolution of Datograph from the original one to the latest & greatest! ...
