Icon10 micro GTG in Glasgow
Yesterday I met up with fellow member Claude (Luminor) In Glasgow and we spent a great day together.
He was picking up a Deep sea in London on Friday and he also has Family up in Glasgow that he came to see. So we decided to meet up yesterday. We had a great day, browsed the 3 AD's, a grey dealer whom had a white daytona and a couple of very nice pepsi GMT's on show We had some lunch and even managed to fit in a little christmas shopping too

It was great to be able to discuss opinions on rolex and many other brands with a fellow WIS over some coffee and lunch rather than on the internet for a change. It was like meeting an old friend with whom i had so much in common

Overall I really enjoyed the whole day- and and hopefully am able to do it again sometime in the future

well here is a wrist shot for you guys
my 183 and Claude's New Deep sea (first time i had seen one in person and WOW what a watch)
mate

Nice pictures, the PAM still looks substantially larger than the DSSD, but the DSSD obviously looks much thicker.

Chris,

When I read the post title I though it was a GTG for vertically challenged people. (refer dwarves)..............

Good pics too.
