The FIRST Belgian TRF GTG

Nobody knew eachother.... but such a nice afternoon we had!
Small with only 5, but every start is difficult. And it's not quantity but the quality of the people involved !!!!

No we didn't take many photographs. No facepics (we still protect our privacy...for the moment, maybe we take some next time)

Thanks to the guys that reacted to my calling and came to meet face to face, have a drink and PLENTY of watchtalk

Thank you Robby (Robbyvm), Bernard (Suprageex), Zoran (Zoran) and Karim (D77)

Now my really bad photograph of some of our watches (missing in this shot is Karims' Omega Speedmaster and Zorans' Rolex GMT-Pepsi and his Rolex TT sub-blue dial). Don't kill me for the worst pic ever guy !!!

You're very welcome Bernard, is your photo of the watches a bit better as mine?

No, my pics came out just as bad, probably because of the lighting... Did my best to make it somewhat presentable:

Looks better as my two attempts

Hi Geert,

Thanks again for organizing this evening!
I had a blast and it was really nice to meet Bernard and Karim!

Too bad we didn't take another pic with my watches!
A perfect reason to organize another GTG

Thanks for the chocolate!

Als ik nog eens naar "huis" ga, zal ik het jullie laten weten, dan kan ik er ook eens bijzijn als we dan iets kunnen organizeren! ;)

Ik heb mijn opleiding aan de uurwerkmakersschool in Antwerpen gedaan!

No problem Michael! New ideas for meeting up are Always welcome by the way. We did promise Bernard not to meet up before April...

And I must say, you did miss a very nice afternoon of watchtalk in a very relaxed atmosphere. So bad luck was definately on your side
