Unexpected small Belgian GTG at Spa-Francorchamps

Last saterday the 3th of May, we were invited by Tudor/Rolex Belgium/Luxembourg at the WEC 6 hours of Spa-Francorchamps race.
It was all arranged very last minute, but we pulled it off (thanks you so much Maarten). We had a great day with VIP treatment !
And I know it was actually about cars that day, but the 4 of us had a wonderful WIS-day aswell. Here are some photographs.




























who's looking at the beautiful DSSD in the righthand corner of this pic?





























And for me, the best photograph of the day...
My friends making wristshots
Maarten, Stijn and Sebastien, thank you so much for this wonderful day, it was such fun !!!

I know, it still makes me laugh
Mind you, it was all so natural, that they didn't even know they were doing those shots

Some of the young guys are also very much into vintage watches !
We only started the Club in November last year as you know, but I wouldn't have imagined it to becomes such a lively good bunch of people.
And NO we won't split up the modern and the vintage, as it's such fun to talk and learn from each other.
Do you guys agree?

I should have worn my LV then to take care of your jealousy
