Icon14 TRF mini GTG to celebrate the arrival of the 116528...PICS!!

Thought I'd share a great mini TRF GTG with some pics from last night/evening to celebrate the arrival of this fine watch

Some pics from it's arrival:



The evening started out at 5pm immediately following work...I met up with Des, his girlfriend Rose, his Uncle Richard & and a mate Mark at my cigar lounge for some whisky sipping, and a good draw on some fine Partagas ....

You can't take Des anywhere...notice the smoke rings he is blowing in one of the pics...



Des, Rose and I were then joined by my wife Alison for a trip to our local resort...for dinner and then the Casino....

Dinner was at "Nobu" Japanese....all I can say is WOW

Those of you who have been to a Nobu will know what I'm talking about.....Black Cod and the sashimi Beef were the highlights for me...BUT it was all incredible...

Some pics from dinner:

Alison and I:



Des and Rose:



food and stuff



And then a couple of 'sly' ones taken at the casino BJ table...as you can see we are very focussed




Thanks for a great night Des, Rose, Mark, Richard and of course my wife Alison.....

That is one fine evening to cap off the fine gold Daytona.
Know you enjoyed it all - hope you enjoy the Daytona as much.
When you're tired of it, ship it!!!

Looks like a great night Dalip...... Thx for sharing

And you can't go wrong with Nobu...... I've been to the Park Lane London branch quite a few times and always had a brilliant meal..... And the black cod........ Words really can't describe how scrummy it is.

Looks like that fantastic new time piece of yours is taking you to some very nice places.....
