The London Christmas GTG 2011

[thewatchguy93]

Ok.. Where to start!!?


First of all I'd just like to say a HUGE thank you to Spudsy for arranging this and making it happen! Top bloke Dan.. YOUR DA' MAN

I also want to say it was absolutely fantastic meeting up with you all again, and find it brilliant how a source such as TRF can bring people together and build such great relationships (As friends Dan, don't worry)..


For those that don't know, there happend to be a watch event on at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea called SalonQP. We (Me, Dan "Spuds", Steve "DiamondJack" and Paul "BH13GMT") thought this would be a great way to start the GTG so we made that our first stop before we met the others, I already attended the event on the 11th I thought another viewing won't hurt! Will it?!!


At the Saatchi Gallery there were some FANTASTIC watches, I mean guys.. really!!!


After meeting Dan and Paul at there hotel..
