Chronus Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Sorry I meant Friday 2nd of June... If I get out of work early I'll try to make it. But I gotta do these long hours to fund my watch habit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Will anyone be bringing watches? And how many? It would be great to see what people have and any prospective purchases I'm thinking maybe I'll wear the RXW Plasmir Milgraph... that's probably one that most won't have seen in person. I have an idea... I'll finish normal time as i play football on monday, then do 13-14 hours on tuesday to thursday.. then friday maybe i can get out at 6 or 7. That should get me somewhere between 56-60 hours for the week With the following week's bank holiday, that'll kill my money. Only problem I see is England play on Wednesday I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Will anyone be bringing watches? And how many? I wil bring all my watch case and of course strap case.. Only problem is that if Finepics sees again my Metta strap he is definately going to kill me to have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the collector Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I will try to join the next meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the collector Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 West London (K&C) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I'm in North London, not far from Arsenal and Spurs grounds. Though I am a supporter of neither Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 West London (K&C) Do you go to university there? If so, so did I! Just guessing cos you have exams coming up, unless you are doing accountancy exams like CIMA or ACCA which is in a few weeks I think.

exper Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Sounds good to me, K&C is a good bet too as its out of the Congestion zone (atleast for now) for those driving As for pubs, on a friday night its gonna be v busy a restaurant might be a better idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I wil bring all my watch case and of course strap case.. Only problem is that if Finepics sees again my Metta strap he is definately going to kill me to have it Man you got that right - that's one lovely strap!! I'm a south London boy - Brixton!! 2nd june is ok with me, I work in Knightsbridge so easy for me to get anywhere - or come to knightsbridge!!

Highflyingclive Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 The Ship Tavern, 12 Gate St, Holborn http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?Gri...map=&scale=5000 Has a large, comfortable, private room upstairs. I have no idea what charge, if any, is made for its use. The Old Red Lion, in Red Lion St, just off High Holborn, also has a private upstairs room. Keep me posted... if health permits, I'll be there, wherever you decide to meet. Happy timekeeping! Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Good idea Clive, good central location for those going by tube. Parking is not great at Knightsbridge or Kensington, but what do I know, I don't have a car... just watches. Hope you are ok Clive, I guess that explains why I don't see you posting much on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealphabeta Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Arghh you buggers. I am moving back to london on the 3/4 June for good so will JUST miss out on this!!! Can we do another one soon. Would love to meet up with you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Yeap.. Central London will be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Arghh you buggers. I am moving back to london on the 3/4 June for good so will JUST miss out on this!!! Can we do another one soon. Would love to meet up with you guys! Davey is doing a meet as well. I don't know if that will combine with this or if it will be a separate one later in the summer, or if he's even going to this one! His last one was just outside London, which is not as easy to get to for me without a car.. I would imagine it would be similar to last time though. If there is a private room in one of these pubs, I think it would be easier for everyone to bring watches. I don't have a watch case though. I guess finepics and veni and clive would have all the PAMs covered so I may as well leave those at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealphabeta Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Yeah you dont want to be putting all these lovely watches on a public display, you'll all get mugged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Exactly But we can all strap on a 127 (or finepics with his 187) and hammer them over the head with it Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealphabeta Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 lol, yeah your right, they wont know what hit them! "Sorry sir i dont know what you talking about - what weapon" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
