UncleJay Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I just want to thank JoJo35, vlydog, 82KUBA, and USWatchDude for coming out on this rainy day to share with me. Special thanks to JoJo and US's better halves for putting up with our constant watch babble. I truly enjoyed meeting you all and hope you had an enjoyable time. Hope the food was to your liking as was the wine (thanks Vly). Kruzer00, you really missed out, you'd better make it next time. And to all who didn't show....you missed out on great food, drink, conversation, watches, and most importantly..PEOPLE. I'm a better person for meeting you all. Thanks again from the Uncle no one likes to talk about. Now introduce yourselves by posting captions to my pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 It looks fantastic It's always great to see and hear about GTG's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJay Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yep, and as Vly said ...... it wasn't the quantity but the quality. And I'll agree, but I mean the people more than the watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 UJ- I was very sorry to miss it. We will have to organize another GTG this summer. It looks like good fun was had by all. Some very nice watches as well. Of course I am going to push for NYC only because there are a certain group of members who I know can get their wives to come along to the Big Apple. It was great of you to host this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hey, super GTG guys. I'm sure you had a great time as we did here in Europe. Very cute family by the way It's so great to see the members face. Put a face on a NickName, on PMs, on posts ...it's reallly too bad we can't do that more openly. I will second Andy: what about a world GTG ...in Alaska, that would be HOT I'm sure Nanuq would be happy to share some of his watchmaker technique Maybe there is a destination that would cheap to fly too and affordable to stay at for members from the 5 continents? Anyway, thanks for sharing. Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Did you know they make carbide tipped chainsaw chains now? Like a knife through hot stainless steel... er, butter. Great photos! That table full of high end watches looks pretty darn spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordRasta Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Looks like a great time was had by all, not to mention all the fine watches. Good job UncleJay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo35 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I had a great time meeting everyone. I'll admit I came away inspired after seeing so many gorgeous pieces! Here's one I'll never let go. Anyone wish to guess who made this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJay Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 This is a SICK, SICK watch! My plan was to slip you a mickey and swipe the thing, but Lorraine would have given me up in a heartbeat. Don't forget you said I could have the 6mm Brevet crown.
