Great to hear you all had a fab night Peter

No more talk of vintage please....Way too tempting

As for Steve's WG Sub - I was thinking of sticking my new orange NATO on it next time I see him...what do you reckon?????

Thanks Dalip
The orange NATO would suit that sub for sure
Vintage is catching for sure

Ps: thanks for the lift Mark

Thank you Peter for organising the GTG.

I really enjoyed the restaurant and the company was fantastic.

I was sorry to discover that Brandon could not make it this time, and I hope he is getting better.

Those lamb chops, ribs and steaks were awesome.

Thanks very much to Jedley and Mark who attended and brought along some really interesting vintage pieces. I especially liked the gilt dial Submariners.

Lets do this again soon, it was a blast

Great display of vintages Rolexes and Stevo's WG blue sub. Thanks for sharing the pics with us, Mark.

Sounds like you guys had a great night and great chow!

Thanks Steve, I finally got my voice back and ability to take solid foods now..

Let's do a Melbourne gtg soon, I can't wait for the next one to happen.
