London GTG Nov' 2011: Spuds' pathetic pictures!!

As I'm sure you've read elsewhere the GTG was thoroughly enjoyed by all that attended & thankfully some of the guys had decent cameras (as well as the ability to use them I might add! ) while the best I managed was a few clumsy BB shots.....


The Tower Hotel......




The view from Kerry & I's room.....




The view from the Hotel Bar......




Dino's next car as spied en-route to Salon QP.....






Mr. So-Bloody-Cool-Birth-Year-Watch.....



(& now thanks to Paul, Steve & Gabriel I think I'm at least beginning to appreciate the whole 'Vintage thing'.... )




Just some of the gang....
(L>R: Me at edge, David/Numismatist, StefanoA/Stef', Paul/Aye Carumba, Gabriel/Swearengen)





The Bridge.....





The Quay.....





The Eye-Roller.....





The Hangover Cure.....




The how-cool-would-this've-been-in-focus shot....






Thank you all again chaps & BRING ON SUMMER 2012!!!

I have to admit that I thought the two-watch thing was pretty bloody cool to be honest....




(still not sure about the whole 'man-bag' thing though! )

Thanks again for organising this all you are truly an asset to the rolex community - I can't wait to see what the summer G2G will have in store!

Also, to the rest of you guys, it was fantastic meeting you all. Paul - I wish I could've stayed in the hotel bar for longer - I just managed to get on the last train home with 30 seconds to spare!
