London 11.5-11.8

[sokoloka]

Planning on a few days of down time in London after heading to Munich to collect my PoG - if any of our esteemed UK AP sub-forum members are interested in grabbing a bite or a drink would love to meet up and talk watches!

Also want to drop in on the London AP House while I'm there, any other boutiques or shops of interest I should pay a visit?

Hope some of you have time to meet. Thanks.

Got the call middle of September - surprised I've been patient enough to wait this long! Reached out to Martin, think I'm going to get the pink gold buckle at the same time and swap straight away.

Roger, like two ships passing in the night! Would be great to catch up in person. Don't have any specifics but believe I'm passing through HK on the front end of 2020; maybe then?

Eric, I may be around if you'd like to hook up.

Hopefully by then the new AP House on Bond St will have opened. I saw the UK MD a couple of weeks ago and it was running behind schedule, but due to open any time soon. They also have a boutique in Harrods, but last time I went there wasn't much to see. The new AP House sounds like it should be quite exciting though.

Very jealous, good call on the buckle! I might too but want to get some wear of the Titanium in to see if I like it.

Absolutely. Have no plans other than catching up with a few friends from when I used to live in the big smoke a few years ago. I'll shoot you a PM as my trip draws closer and we'll hopefully get something squared away! Fingers crossed the new AP House is open as well. Looking forward to meeting up!

Don't think we can go wrong either way.

Next week is the week if anyone wants to get together!

Eric, that should be fine, I've sent you a PM. I don't think AP House is open yet, although it must be imminent. I walked past yesterday and the nice new polished brass AP sign has masking tape around it, so not quite there yet. I will make enquiries!

Eric, just to say it was a real pleasure to meet you yesterday and thanks for making the time. I love your POG, and totally agree that putting the RG buckle on was a very good choice.

A pity we didn't get to go to AP House but I gather it was the opening press day. Just bad timing I guess!

Chris - an absolute pleasure on my end as well. Thanks for making the time to grab coffee and lunch! Had a great time chatting away for a few hours and look forward to your thoughts after you visit the new AP House.

Looking forward to catching up again next time I'm in town!
