Recommended Posts

Hello all,

im back as i presume all of you are by now from the Euro GTG version II still fresh on the events that took place the weekend of 14-15. June in Koln, Germany.

First and foremost thx to everyone that were involved in setting this up and to all of you that joined. We had some new people that joined us from the last GTG in Brussels and was a pleasure to meet you guys in flesh finally ... we know each other from the here but nice to put some new faces next to the avatars.

Second thing i would like to thank the GTG Raffle Sponsors that provided prizes for the people that attended and should be noted:

K2222 - AR coating

Verbal Kint - Pam Straps

petergunny - GUNNY STRAPS - Custom Pam Straps

THX to the people above, ure support, appreciated and well received between the attendees! Congrats also to the winners!

Thx to all the members bringing there watches and sharing the collections and your experience etc. u guys are awesome in any sense of the word ... the camaraderie and the exchange of knowledge was once again top notch i would not miss it for the world :)

I have came home yesterday rather latte as my flight had a delay and did not have the time to upload my pictures i will do so today and update this opening post, u can expect to see some really nice watches, some extreme modding pictures from the "hotel modding studio" ;) and some pics from the Koln watch fair we visited on Sunday.

Hope all of you made it home fine ... so let the discussion flow ... as said my pics to follow latter in the afternoon :)

LETS ROLL THE PICTURES ...

Hi Laz,

Hi all,

Great idea to start a thread on this second Euro GTG.

There is not much I can add to what Laz says here.

The GTGs are giving another dimension to this community.

Nothing will ever replace the voice, the "live" behaviour, a hand shaking...

Internet is sometimes helpfull, forums fun, but when a bunch of humans meet that is THE real life it is so good. :rolleyes:

I will save a budget on my rep purchases to make sure I can attend the next one, wherever it happens in Europe.

Laz, how about 4-5/07 or 18-19/07 in your wonderfull city :D

Thanks to all who made it to K

Will be very busy during that time too :( damn exams.

Well, we will see. If you are in the area, just let me know. I can go to Frankfurt Main or here in Stuttgart, we have good biergarten. The weather is gonna get really good later this summer.

Feel free to come. There are a few more members from this area (Mannheim, Heidelberg, Stuttgart, etc.). They may come and join us too.

Posted this on another thread but I think here will be more appropriate:

I would like to really thank you very much on a lot of things. I won't name you in the post but you should know who you are ;) You all have my respect too.

There are much things which I can't describe by words and pictures but it's really meaningful to me (i.e.: friendship).

Thanks for all these plus things which I mentioned above:
