Icon14 Melbourne TRF's Early Spring GTG!

Hello Hello!

It was great to some new faces and the usual suspects!

Great people (WIS, Dealer, Watchmakers!), great food, great discussion, great watches =

All right, let's see some pics! Pardon my photography skills


Some intense discussion going on and happy WIS!







Entree



Mains





Dessert



Hmmm...What's in the box?!



Gather of the watches!!











I can't get over this awesome piece, Mark!!



Thanks to those who attended, it was a awesome evening and I enjoyed the company! I didn't get to remember every nick on the forum so please forgive me.

Now the Sydney and Perth guys has beat us by this gathering numbers! we have a huge turn out this time!

Great pics mate. All those fine watches on the table at once was an impressive sight.

Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome. You can never have too many friends.

Dalip, I'm the Bulldogs fan.

Cheers!

I'll let the members introduce themselves. Not many faces you can see in those pics, some are camera shy.

Not bad mate, but do me a favour next time and put a couple of stockings over the lens.
The ExPII is a LOT more photogenic than me.

A good night. I'm the dopey looking one in the black shirt sporting the Milgauss, next to the seedy looking one, my mate Liam, sporting the Fat Lady.

Good to meet you all.

Looks like a great time was had by all , thanks for sharing. The pile of watches looks amazing. Can someone tell me what that HUGE watch is? It stands head and shoulders over everything! Looking at the food shots has made me suddenly crave something really tasty

The green and orange of the Milgauss is what draws me to those watches!
