Icon14 Boston GTG Album - March 2, 2013

Hello everyone,

I posted this also on The Meeting Point, but figured not everyone might see it there, and besides it looks more like a general Rolex discussion Enjoy

~~~~~~

We had our great Boston GTG yesterday, as planned in this thread: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=277113

I think it was much more exciting than pictures can describe, but I hope that everyone enjoys the day with our photos as much as we did

We all met at our first stop M Bar & Lounge @Mandarin Oriental.

Gathering started at around 2pm, and first here is the handsome bunch of the day



Left to right: rain_maker, chh47gmt, janagler, CoachRolexRyan, hennebav, Quix, Thevenin, NGN, Bdel, LordNinja, afc1, TonyD, powerfunk ( that's a lot, really hope I didn't mess that up )

Got our drinks and let the watch-talk begin Our natural mode




































Of course we had a beautiful variety of great looking watches Gotta start showing them with the Divers Galore















Supergalactic meteorite Daytona



with a terrific engraving











Following two are Clark's wristshots, gotta clear that up













Fantastic vintage Blancpain's Highway to the danger zone















Caseback bros




Now here we prepare for a group shot







After having our drinks then off we headed to Ross & Simons @Prudential



They had a fantastic selection as always











The Siege of Ross & Simons







After that, before moving off to dinner, we stopped by Shreve Crump & Low. Very warm place and great guys around







Finally, all tired and craving for food , we had our dinner at P.F. Chang's Chinese Bistro

























Got my surprise cake for being the bad photographer of this brilliant day Thank you guys all for coming, until next time !





Thanks all for looking,

Dogu

Wow.

These are some of the best GTG Photos I have seen! Great lighting / focus etc. Nice watches as well and great to match some names and faces.

Thank you!

The best part for me was, other than the company, watches, food & drink, that you had 13 guys all wearing a watch on each wrist and no one knew what time it was! I must have been asked 3 times at least what time it was throughout the evening
