Rolex Passion Meeting was just brilliant, Thank YOU guys!!......

http://rolexpassionreport.com/15749/rolex-passion-meeting-2014-yet-blast-thank-guys/






Back home, with a hangover, rethinking how fabulous Passion Meeting 2014 was, I come to the conclusion that this one might have been the most relaxed GTG so far! Everybody was totally into enjoying the watches and the friends that came in from everywhere to catch up with each other since the last time they met. Thank YOU guys VERY much for doing your effort to come to Amsterdam with us!! It was already the 7th year me and Bernhard organise this hardcore vintage Rolex fest for fellow aficionado’s and it so much fun meeting new guys, seeing old ones and meeting the usual diehards that are always at the party!



A friend send me “Passion, Love, Unity and Fun” to describe the weekend and exactly that’s it, the unity of each others passion and the love for detail while having fun is precisely why we organise this for all of us. A uncomplicated weekend with friends in a exciting city called Amsterdam. The wonderful historic locations where they served us great food & drinks gave us plenty of time to enjoy each others beauties. Again I was impressed by the many incredible vintage Rolex, Tudor, Patek Philippe, Longines etc that have gone through my hands. The pleasure in sharing details each owner has, is what makes the meeting so unique!



I’m very pleased to call you my friends and it’s a huge honor to me to see you all together having a great time! For those that are still traveling to get back home, have a safe trip! I bet you won’t sleep in the plain from all the impressive memories that are in your mind. Thank you again for making it possible!



Here some of my images that capture the atmosphere quick well. In the next days I will add some more as plenty of pictures have been made by everybody.

I remember drooling over pics from this event that was on a boat in Amsterdam a couple years ago. Just a wild collection of vintage and rare pieces all together. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not really into vintage but this is. Overwhelming, grandiose, magnificent, phantasmal and so on!

Would have loved to take a peak in that room for a moment.

Scrolled to the pictures a few time. From top to bodem and back up again

Thanks a lot for sharing
