Day 2...
It is of course , overwhelming to see that many watches at the same time but the good thing is that we had the whole weekend. So there were of course time to talk watches to collectors and not just being overwhelmed with so many watches during the weekend.
It is great to finally meet a lot of internet and social media friend with the same interest and passion and share their thoughts and knowledge of vintage watches, especially vintage Rolex.
I'm really happy to finally be able to meet some of the forum member here, some that actually also got me into Vintage Rolex by reading their passionate post about their watches.

I couldn't say and describe much about that weekend, as it is still overwhelming for me even just to pick the photograph to post here.
I just hope that everyone here can enjoy the photos and watches I've posted. And I hope that I'll get to see more of the forum member here in the future
Cheers & Happy New Year everyone
