New Year's Eve GTG

 
 By: mell0822 : January 2nd, 2012-04:27

Organised the last get together for 2011 & invited a special guest to join us. 

 

 Some of the watches.  For a change, no PP this round, but a good mix.



More watches, and a namecard ...




Wristshot of the group and our guest, Horo.



 
 


The session went on longer than expected.  We needed more than coffee and tea.  Went to the Post Bar, the Fullerton Hotel.




An hour later, it was time to go to join our own families for NYE dinner.  Before we go...

 

another wristshot. 

Happy New Year to All.

Yup, that's a great looking ROO. Good thing you were decisive & went for it. 

I'd like to know more about this ROO too!

Those in bracelets are 25807, while in leather strap are 25808. I must add that those in straps are colorful (including this orange piece), adding a touch of fun to the ROO. 

thanks mell0822!

2011 was an interesting year for us. So a last watch-related event was a must on its last day. What more, we had a knowledgeable guest with us. Thanks for looking.

Looks like a great time!

Thanks for sharing the report and your photos.  Always great to see PuristS enjoying a GTG, especially with Horo's smiling face in the mix.

I guess you have to be as slender and fit as you guys to drink those big drinks!

Best,

Gary G

Thanks, Gary. We were hoping

the calories in the alcohol can increase our weight a little. Nah, didn't work. 

Thanks for sharing, Mel!

Looks like it was a very fun outing, with some very nice watches, particularly the Mark III, for which I have a soft spot ;-)

Thanks for sharing and have an excellent new year!

You too, Alex. The LUC Mark3 is a great choice
