I would like to see if there is any interest in a spring GTG in London on Thursday 23rd April in the Oxford Street area starting early evening.

This is aimed at those of us who work in or around London. Of course Northerners and citizens and natives of the Kingdom of Belgium are welcome too!

Scammers and con artist definitely not welcome!

I will provide the exact location to those intending to attend nearer the time.

So far I have interest from the following:

Xenophon - Nathan
Rootbeer7 - Edward
Diamond Jack - Steve
The Joker - Wes

This is not a replacement for the excellent Summer GTG that Spud organises, and no doubt that will also go ahead.

Please let me know your interest by adding to this thread.

Xenophon · 9 March 2015, 03:15 AM

I'll nip over after work. It will be good to catch up.

Jbvold · 9 March 2015, 07:47 AM

Well, its not far from Stockholm to London. GTGs seems rare here in the cold north. Maybe its all icebears on our streets.

DiamondJack · 9 March 2015, 07:21 PM

That date looks good for me ........

Looking forward to catching up............

kaiserphoenix · 9 March 2015, 07:49 PM

I'm interested too!

Xenophon · 10 March 2015, 05:33 AM

St George's Day too

rootbeer7 · 10 March 2015, 05:48 AM

I'm in!

Swearengen · 11 March 2015, 05:30 AM

Thanks chaps.

The list thus far:

Swearengen - Gabriel
Xenophon - Nathan
Rootbeer7 - Edward
Diamond Jack - Steve
The Joker – Wes [tentative]
Kaiserphoenix - Jordan

Swearengen · 22 March 2015, 03:38 AM

Weekend bump.

Any more takers?

Xenophon · 22 March 2015, 06:30 AM

As an aside, hasn't "The Joker - Wes" changed his name on his profile to "Carlll" or something ? By April maybe it will be "call me Susan".

Swearengen · 23 March 2015, 12:46 AM

Talking of change, are we still sporting the SD4000?

Good Go no mate. I've had a YM2 since last August. My Breitling gets most of my wrist time though. I'll bring the Rolex along tothe mini-GTG.

spuds · 30 March 2015, 03:20 AM

What sorta time'll this kick off chaps, any idea.....??

& YMII Nath'....??

Good on you matey, there's a Father & Son team who I deal with at work and they sport the YG & WG versions respectively.....
YG's a bit much IMHO but the WG runs the Blue-Sub' a very veryclose second as my 'one day' watch!!

Wear it in good health mate.

Thanks mate, stainless for me though. I've had it a while. It's only been back to Rolex once with a hacking problem. To be honest, I don't think it's a keeper. I'll still have it for the GTG, I reckon.

Swearengen · 31 March 2015, 08:03 PM

Dan,
I hope to be there for 6pm, others may make it sooner

I know you and a couple of others have said this, and I do have to agree. Some serious watches have been on the table
