London Meetup: Part II

It’ll be good to catch up with everyone again! Looking forward to it!

Count me it!! Can we do Zoom or Teams app 😂

I’ll be there!! Can’t wait!

Barring disaster (which is inevitable as soon as I commit to doing anything) I shall be there.

I'm gonna try to make this one sounds like fun. If not, I will jump on a Zoom call so quick to see you all

I've had the go ahead from 'the boss', just gotta check trains (ie strikes) barring that it's all systems go

I'm flying in from Gran Canaria that day and will make every effort to be there!

I'm hoping to make it.

You dog. We expect a full report on your reconnaissance upon returning.

Well... I can try! What time is 6pm GMT where you are??

The question is, will you bust out the velvet suit for the occasion?? 😀

Its going to be awesome!

Tick the 'attending' button so I don't miss you when I'm counting numbers for a table. 👍

Just got to hope your stalker doesn't catch wind

Will be a fab evening if you can get down, but I will try to do a zoom call too.

Yes! Tick the 'attending' button when you know so I can get a number for table booking.

A big thanks to Kaysia and Chung for tonight, great to see some old faces and some new ones, and also some from far away. And of course some awesome timepieces, really opens your eyes to what's out there, so thankyou to you all who brought some fabulous items to share.

As for us

Bit of shopping(skin care products as well)

Bit of dreaming(nice speedy's)

No chance,I'm 6ft no chance ( Jon's 6ft 8 and even he might be a long shot) you've no chance as your only 4 inches n plastic(unlike Katie price 5ft 8 an all plasic) so let's set our sights a bit lower

Oh yes,if I'm having one its this(go for it)

See the sights eat n drink local(local prices n all😱)

Saw this reminded me of something(lots of things)

And saw some great watches,I mean this bulova just rocks its perfect😉

Slight,svelte n hugs the wrist...awesome, and went to the moon.

Watches from afar and near, brilliant. But the best bit is meeting all of you, the people behind the watches, watches are what brings us in,but you all are what makes this little niche we habit worth making the effort to keep coming,contributing snd spending time on. So a big thanks from him n me, and can't wait till next time

Great to meet you Henry! You have some very interesting pieces. See you at the next one!

Thank you @Deeperblue and @Chunghauphoto for pulling together such an amazing night!! I couldn’t have asked for a better first night in London ☺ Great food, great people, great location, just great all around.

Such a pleasure meeting so many friendly and likeminded people. And the watches, oh the watches I have seen!

I had a blast, and even enjoyed talking with @Porthole. He was everything I expected he’d be 😉

I may need to make this a recurring event and I need to get some more folks from abroad to fly in for the festivities. I’m looking at you @Max

Now THIS is a what I call a comment 😂

Glad you had a great time! It was @Deeperblue who organised it all (as usual).

Um, yeah, sorry about @Porthole…. I’m mean there was no need for physical violence or destruction of property, was there….? 😉

I regret nothing

That’s another place we’re banned from for Meetup III….

I think most people are surprised to know I’m not a bot, or a London cabbie.

There are not enough words to describe how understated that sentence actually is….

Great pix! - and I've got an idea!

You'd have my eternal respect and worship if you could successfully get Mr. Pika Pika into that rolex window and take a pic of him from outside the shop, among the unbuyable watches!!

I think they are linked - Pika exists in a slightly sci fi magic place, as do Ti yachtmasters and gold GMT Master 2s. Neither will either ever be in our reality - but there they are in the window waving to us 🥰

That could be the new homepage for you, and maybe Watchcrunch in general.

Something to think about, or maybe start planning 😀!

I'm on it dude,back down London next weekend with the family, so I'll wear my watch crunch hat n see if I can get in. Should open a door or 2(you might want to watch the international news if it all goes wrong)

Rolex ADs (in my limited few visits) are notoriously humourless and ice cold. So pulling off a heist like this would require both Kissinger level diplomacy and or Arsene Lupin the Third level of sneakiness. If family with you might be able to have kids run distraction, or a pick and roll.

Full post wrap up of how it goes my friend!! 👍

I will give it a go. Did try omega and longines(which I have a couple of) but no go, mind you it was pouring down, looked like a drowned rat and was clutching 2 pairs of trainers in a ball of paper mache (paper eco bags don't do rain😵‍💫). Mind you I'm with the family and I've already been warned I'm not to going licking windows of watch shops😆, but we'll see😉

@Deeperblue how did the meet up go?

It was fantastic!

A couple of folks posted some pictures...

I was chatting to @hamishfrob and we thought it would be cool to organise the next one for the summer/autumn time. Did you mention there was a microbrand show later in the year? Or am I imagining that?? Would be cool if we could coordinate a meetup there if the timings work out 👍

Yeah so in September the WorldTime UK event is held at Heathrow (aids brands to fly in) I have the details if you’d like them! The meet up looked like it went well!
