The forum "ThePurists" has its European meeting each year, a GTG which stands for Get ToGether.
In 2011 the GTG took place in Paris on Monday Oct. 9th.
The host was Nicolas aka Amanico , a significant collector in many vintage areas like JLC, Rolex, Tudor, Blancpain FF to name just a few,
Nicolas leads the moderator group at ThePurists.
He hosted 25 collectors who came from many countries including Malaysia (!!!).
I've had the privilege to be invited to this GTG,

some photos

a 13ZN movement says hello

and then came a tradition, the Porn Table watch, ouch !

Beyond this array of beauties, the atmosphere was just led by passion.
I can say I've been lucky to spend a full day with such people.
Amazing how these chaps are knowledgeable about their watches and how they're happy to share them and tell their stories.

Thank you gentlemen !

Cheers,

Laurent
