Sun is out, AP RO is on your wrist, nothing can stop you now Kevin my friend !
Looking forward to see you ! I am sure you'll have fun meeting the Belgian lot And I know Stijn will be jealous not seeing your RO as he is a big AP fan (but he can't join us as he is on holiday with is girlfriend- the silly boy)

Some of the early birds wanted to have a pre-drink before the actual GTG.
Things went a bit wrong when we were invited by mr. Slaets himself to come in and try on some watches at his marvelous store at De Keysrlei in Antwerp. One should never put watchfreaks like us in a candystore like that. It's all to tempting
Thanks so much to mr. Slaets for making us so welcome and pulling out loads and loads of wristwatches ! Nothing seemed to much, even when some of us (I won't say that it was you Bernard ) wanted to see yet another GOLD watch !
Here are some of my, sorry guys, bad photos.





trying on Kevins' AP RO


Jaeger-LeCoultre duometre in gold, what a stunning piece !




The Cartier Diver


Hublot Ferrari, what a very comfortable watch to wear. Pleasantly surprised


Michaels' double red seadweller.
No words....STUNNING. This one would convince me going vintage




Zorans' Pepsi GMT from the 80's.




Oh, yes there were some humans overlooking all these watches

Very nice photographs Kev! It was so nice of you to come to Belgium and join in.
Plenty of watches around, that's for sure. We do hope you enjoyed yourself.
Always great to see you my friend

So as promised here are a couple of my pictures. I knew there was going to be plenty of shooting power at the scene, but couldn't resist taking the dslr with me. Unlike others (Geert, Aaron and Mluther) I was to lazy to get my ass out of the chair. So I pretty much shot just the watches that were laying in front of me and let the others do all the hard work

I probably did not even cover every watch that was present and we even forgot to do a tableshot with ALL watches.

So sad it is all over now ... but looking foward to the next time to meet you all again!!
