Such a pleasure meeting you
Dec 03, 2016,02:51 AM
and so many other virtual friends as you say. And of course to see some old friends too.
I fully agree with you that impressions were so plentiful that food and wine went to the background and I even forgot to take pictures.
Some truly spectacular watches on that table but even more remarkable owners. A great crowd - I enjoyed every minute which happily ticked away...

My notes about the November 2016 London GTG ...

Team, I was there and it was just wonderful. I' not good with words and is hard to me to describe the trill that was to be able to meet so many Purists. Quick note: They are real people. Not pompous, not arrogant, not pretentious. Just good real people. W...

You described the way our purist friends in the best possible way.

Not pompous, nor arrogant, even the greatest collectors. Just friendly, humble, with a ton of knowledge and an indisputable passion for friends, life and watches. Happy to know that you met them. It was worth the flight from Brazil! See you soon, my frien...
When a GTG happens, just go....

I like that, and to meet, as you say, the nicest, unpretentious people on the planet. I\'ve met the best of people among our Purists on all my travels, and I agree completely with you.
Not a problem ...

Dear Nilo, it was a true pleasure meeting you.

I am very glad you have sacrificed yourself by flying from so far away. Also, I am glad I had the chance to speak to you a bit and get to know you better. I will join everyone else in saying that you have perfectly captured the spirit and the type of peop...

I can fully concur with everything you say

I unfortunately couldn\'t attend this one but every one I have been to - whether the large variety or meeting a single purist - has been a blast If you can go to one, you\'ll not regret it!
Umm . . . I believe you're confusing me . . .

. . . for someone else, Nilo. I had nothing at all to do with organizing the event. It was all Joe's 'n Mo's doing (and possibly Imran, too), and, of course, yourself - the JLC boutique gathering wouldn't have happened without your intervention. All I did...
April, Paris!!

Count me in. About the organization, you put your cloud on there. Cheers, Nilo
Wait a sec...

Paris!? Not sure not sure at all
No direct flights . . .
By: Dr No : December 3rd, 2016-12:24

It was a trip not to forget

The only regret I have was not had the time to meet everybody. The two crazy guys from Sweden, Jacko “Bad Santa” and Tony “Terminator”.. I´m gonna have nightmares for the rest of my life after meeting you… The PhD Thug man from Croatia who wants to adopt ...
Not yet ...

TheBodyguard didn't had the honor to meet Vlad. Please, when this happens, try to not wash him with hot espresso. Cheers, Nilo
Familiar faces ;)

Thanks for your kind words on the house. Looks like things are finally underway. Although it may well end like "Mr Blandings dream house"
