Hi All Last night a small group of Melbourne watch aficionados got together again, ostensibly to discuss horology, but in reality any excuse to share a beer or two. So here are a few photos from the evening. Hope you enjoy … The Seiko Quartz Astron 40 th ...
Great to meet a few new new watch friends, and to catch up with old ones as well. From a plastic swatch to a dead seconds tourbillon, and just about everything in between. Quite a pile on the table there. I really liked that Astron. Not something you see ...
... and I didn't get photos of all of them. But it is the AMVOX2 DBS, as Aptronym points out. 44mm and in light titanium with a partially skeletonized dial. But still the chrono counters are very legible. Short lugs so it sits very well indeed on the wris...

..the modified movement Tom has created....the more you stare, the more interesting it is...nice to have the creator there to explain the modified layout.
thats what a GTG is all about............well the ones i go to are we should sort out another one in London soon, but probably no chance before the IGOTT2. best G
... if all your GTG's are like that. Actually Graham, we were all very well behaved. There is always family to get home to, so these are usually quick GTG's after work. And we are not up to the standard of the Sydney Tarts who meet weekly. And we had an i...
