Went to a watch GTG with my friend RDSChicago last night
These are some random pics from a very enjoyable event. lovely Laurent Ferrier Stunning gold 1908, it was a hit! RDSChicago brought some fun stuff this guy always has interesting timepieces yours truly and PP ...
Thanks for the great pictures Larry.
You have some great and interesting watches between you. All the best, Jon
Thanks Jon!
that gold Rolex 1908 was purchased near you! The owner bought it for himself as a Christmas gift.
He should have dropped it off at my house. I would have looked after it!
Did you have a favourite watch from those at the GTG? The titanium LF and the Lange 1 perpetual do it for me. All the best, Jon
Great pictures of the GTG👍🏽
Admittedly, despite the variety of great pieces here, it’s the Panerais that get the most natural attention from me.
Larry, you know you didn’t need to tell us which were yours !!! 😂
For me, the OG End of Days is a watch I’ve loved forever. It’s also, because of the strap, the only Offshore that ever fit my wrist. It’s one of those “if I had one Offshore” watches for me. And the Lange with the sparkles. I have tried it on several time...
Hey Jay, so true, mine get lots of screen time!!
I to, was drawn to that ALS, it’s an impressive piece. The AP Starwheel is always an attention getter and the LF, was super comfortable and in many ways competes with your stunning RG, in terms of desirability .
It’s not that you shouldn’t share yours…
…more so that we all knew which ones were yours so you didn’t need to tell us ! LOL The LF is interesting, I’m not a huge fan of that colour dial. I think I prefer another. It does look good on your wrist though…was it enough to have you thinking serious ...
Some beautiful timepieces.
The watches ran the gamut ( Seiko’s, FEARS, vintage, homemade , brands I’ve never heard of and heavy metal ) which makes it so enjoyable
That Rolex bracelet was truly next level beautiful , very comfortable on the wrist, the quality was very apparent and had some serious heft to it.
the owner was very gracious , I bet 10+ people tried his watch on and everyone was more impressed with the bracelet than the dial and the dial was Killer!
Hey Ron, my buddy Rob and I got there early to have a bite to eat prior to the event.
The RedBar events are usually held at a restaurant, so it’s easy to order a drink or food while talking watches.
Beautiful Gathering, love the variety, that's very cool, if I had to choose one....EODs for me ❤️
A close second would be the LF
It was truly a wonderful WIS event!
The best part of the evening was getting to spend time with my good friend Larry Kelley! The watches, while fun, were secondary to the friendship I've developed with Larry, who I met on WPS when he noticed that a photo of my vintage 1971 BMW cs was taken ...
It was very cool, but . . .
Maybe it was this particular example, but when I wound the crown, I expected it to be the smoothest wind ever, but was surprised to find it a bit tight.
