All right, here are a few fotos from this wonderful GTG night:

Then the number began rising with the addition of more gorgeous timepieces on the table:

And more:

Myself:

Back to watches:

Fantastic Seikos, Eterna Kontiki, Rolexes, Omegas, vintage Elgin and Hami, Panerais, Halioses, Glycine Airman and Incursore, MSar, Ultra rare Kelek Chrono, Seiko 6139 Pogue Chrono, etc . . .:

Turbo Singh · 7 July 2014, 03:17 PM

Yes! It was a great time with great people. Really enjoyed meeting everyone and their beautiful watches.

Mr Chan, Capt Serdal...... I can't seem to get these two out of my head HAHA.

Very nice!

J. Alan · 8 July 2014, 01:36 AM

Looks like a fun time for all - wish we were there

Unfortunately for us (speaking for the wife who is also a Rolex fan), we only go to Van on the long weekends. Next long weekend - Civic holiday on August 4th.
Possible meeting on August 2nd or 3rd??? - or to soon? Hope not

Thanks Turbo Singh. It was nice meeting you last Saturday night. Beautiful Submariner you have. Almost makes me want to trade in my Submariner Date 16610 for it.

There is only one way to get the GMT Master II out of your head and that is to visit an AD, or contact a trusted seller on the forum. I am sure they will be able to cure this illness you currently have!

To All Vancouver TRF Members.

Is anyone up for another GTG this month? A great time was had by all last month. I know summer is upon us and a lot of us are probably busy with family during this time of the year, but I thought I would just start this process and hopefully we are able to arrange for something in the coming month or two. Having a toddler and a baby, Saturday evenings usually work best for me.

Looking forward to responses.

kevbm · 19 August 2014, 04:43 AM

Sorry I missed the last one. I could be available for the next GTG.

..We, I thought, all had a good time at our latest GTG..
Some couldnt make it, but still, it was a great turn-out, IMO.!!

.
I'm up for another, if t's not too soon, following the last..
As Eric mentioned.. 'timing' and with 'little ones'..should be considered.
Being a 'Pet-Parent'... I'm pretty flexible...!!

.
Let's see how this goes...!?!?

serdal22 · 19 August 2014, 11:29 AM

Great! Let's arrange another GTG. The last one was, indeed, excellent!

During my weeks off (I'm on this week) from Mon to Sundays I'm available, starting next Monday.
