Dan,

Welcome to England and what great photos, especially on the London Eye

Have a fabulous day heading up the TRF UK convention and don't get too carried away, otherwise you might end up in the Mandarin Oriental, in Knightsbridge, sipping cocktails at £15 a throw

Did you see the GMT ICE they have in stock along with the zebra, tried some on for fun. Enjoy your trip to Paris. Like Martin said, do not forget to take note of the building.

Simon,
Yes, I saw the infamous zebra amd GMT ice. Lots of watches but somehow I doubt you'd be able to find a bargain there.
Today I'm meeting my family for dinner and then early to bed. We leave for Paris at 5:30 am Wed. Might like to meet Thursday night for a drink though. Our flight home is early Friday morning. I'll keep you posted.

That is an awesome photo of Keith Richards

Just as good is the wrist shot of your GMT with red/black on Jubilee

Thanks for sharing Dan

I've got a few goodies to take back. A hangover, great stories and new friendships, and a very cool black/ burgundy bezel for my GMT.

Simon,
My wife informs me we have to leave at 6:00 am Friday for the airport. Maybe a few drinks sometime after dinner?? Could your wife make it? Gotta go for now but I'll check back tonight.

Got home yesterday afternoon. Great to be home too. Just want to again thank all the London TRF GTG members for such a warm welcome and a splendid time in the beautiful city of London. The GTG really made my visit a special occasion.
One of the first characteristics members find here on TRF is the friendly atmosphere. Meeting members in person, especially from around the world, just high lites that community spirit. There seem to be many more TRF GTG's forming soon. If you have a chance I urge you to attend one near you. You'll thoroughly enjoy it.
Cheers, mates!!

Great pics Dan. I 'm glad you had a safe trip and that our British friends treated you wonderfully.
On a different note... I was born in the United Kingdom and held dual citizenship for a short time. God save the Queen!
