Great report!! Beautiful watches and the photos are just fine!!

You know, I am starting to believe that the Monacos look better without the paint!! The "distressed" look is great to my eye!!

: *** Note - camera phone pictures in this article - sorry
: I would like to thank both Jan & Peter for a fantastic Heuer
: luncheon yesterday.
: The 3 of us met for a few drinks, traditional danish food and
: plenty of watch talk here in central Copenhagen and had a great
: time. It was the perfect opportunity for Jan to show us his new
: Chronomatic Monaco which i can report is a wonder to examine
: (Peter and i were drooling over more than just the food in this
: instance).
: Between us we had 30+ watches on the table for show and tell at one
: stage, there was barely any room on the table for a fresh round
: of beers and schnapps - no doubt the staff and surrounding
: diners must have thought we were crazy but it was quite an
: experience to sit and freely hand the 60's & 70's classics
: around (edit - i also had an early rally-master pair from circa
: 1957 to show the guys)
: Of the 6 Monaco's we had between us there were 2 Chronomatics, 3
: Transitionals and 1 Grey with recessed Black registers.
:
:
: Of those Monaco's 1 Chronomatic and 1 Trans were of the paitless
: variety.

:

: And here we have two long lost brothers next to each other for the
: first time 42 years

: The talk covered many Heuer topics - hot on the discussion table
: were favourite pieces, the wanted list, contraversial models,
: variations in early Autavia models (very happy to return to the
: forum today and see its already a forum topic), the direction
: and focus of a collection and how tastes have varied have since
: becoming a collector.
: The talk flowed with the drinks and we managed to cover many other
: topics including travel, family, fatherhood, historic V's modern
: cars and pretty much anything else that came along on the way.
: What was clear is that we were 3 kindered spirits with very
: similar interests and values. So thankyou gentlemen for a great
: day , no doubt we will repeat this event some time soon.
: Cheers - Darren
