LOL! Great series of posts, Bim...
What a lot of fun!
And to think I was stuck in stormy, brooding Scotland with another friend's car. You guys should have told me of your mini-GTG; shooting down to Paris from UK wouldn't have taken that long if I don't care about speeding citations along the way...
Nicolas, you are proving to be the host non-pareil!
Cheers,

The rise of the Fifty Fathoms ...
One evening we had a formal dinner in a very nice Vietnamese restaurant (the owner happened to be a watch-nut as well, what a coincidence ..) .... . If you want to have a great dining-experience in Paris, in this restaurant will give you one .... a royal ...

Scotland isn't bad ...
A shame we didn'treally thaught about having a real Purist-gtg ... We should do a world-gtg next time ... Filip
Bim, I hope you didn't leave the car at Place Vendome!
Thanks for the great tour of Paris. That's an impressive arm shot of five watches! Five 50-Fathoms watches.
I did leave it at Place Fantoom ...
That bloody French guy took off with it ... LOL ... The 5 50ies where impressive indeed ... Filip
Amazong posts hermano!
Specially the fifty food one! These watches are to die for... Excellent work my friend! Best Emilio
Wonderful series of posts, Filip!
I loved reading about your adventure in France! The pictures were so much fun too! Why does it seem like noone has as much fun as you and Nicolas do when you're together? I must get to France or Belgium one of these days soon! I feel I'm missing out! Chee...

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I envy you for living so close to Paris and being able to enjoy this adventures quite often. Sourire de Saigon is an excellent restaurant! Richard, the owner, is a great guy! Thanks for bringing back some great memori...
Sourire de Saigon
An excellent restaurant by far !!! And indeed Richard proved to be a very nice host for the evening ... We had a great time together ... If you're coming to Paris or Europe next time, let me know ... filip
Awesome post!
You boys are having too much fun! That Pro Geo looks great on your wrist. But the steel AMVOX...that is the first photo I have seen thus far that has made me think twice about this new version. It's brilliant! I was, perhaps, too hasty in my initial judge...
Fun all the way
The Geo was a real stunner, what a beast, i really liked it but i'm a bit concerned about the price ... But my real favorite was the steel AMVOX II ... Brilliant all the way, the platinum version was as brilliant as the steel one, a bit nicer .... Watch o...
Great adventure Bimbeano!

Berthillon was brilliant , but in general the Italians are even more brilliant ... about the location, all i can give you is a pic of the building ... If you ever return to Paris, please let us know .... i'll make time to come over again ... Cheer Filip...
FX !!!
A shame we didn't meet ... but meeting with Nicolas several times (and you know how busy he always is ... ), i barely had the time to favor my wife: "Are you going back to see that Devlish-French-lawyer again ????" LOLOLOL ... I'll let you know when i'm c...
