It was really good to see and meet you guys today, @Deeperblue thanks for organising this meet up. Great to put some real life faces to WatchCrunch profile's.

Also thank you @Stricko for repairs to my spring bars ( which failed on me before we had even got in to the fair.)😆

The motorcycle museum is a great little venue for this kind of meet up, and we are really looking forward to doing it again. Or even a potential meet up in Sheffield 🤷👍

Congratulations to you 3 for your great purchase's love the lovely gold Longines which @Deeperblue  found and the little  CWC G10 that @Scooby scored about 10 minutes into getting in side with his awesome bargaining and haggling skills. Very impressive £180 starting price actually ended up costing him 20 quid once the original cost of his trade in's had been taken into account. Amazing bargain Adam.

Thanks guys and see you soon.👍

Yes, Adam is THE master haggler. They don't see him coming!

I'm in love with my little Longines

It was good fun. You need to tell me when you're coming across next, or see you in New York for the Windup 😀

It was cool to time it with the watch fair. Will definitely try to do that again. 👍

My first watch fair,and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some interesting stuff on show,great to have 'the pack' together again and met two lovely fellow crunchers. Our Scooby was top dog at sniffing out the bargains and hounding the vendors into submission. Some beautiful tasteful watches purchased especially deeperblue's longines, I of course went the opposite direction and bought a hulking peice of tuetonic (tectonic more like) splendour (which so far has resisted all attempts to get into to have a look). A lovely day and thankyou all.

Made for the British Army and issued in 98. Tritium is practically dead. 

You would have been in Mecca. There was a stall with a bin there full of Swiss jobbers 4 for £10.

Very pleasant morning, found some cracking finds (on my wruw over the next few weeks). It was brill seeing @Stricko and @Deeperblue again, and it was great meeting @Droptuned83 and @Watchwitch. Thanks so much @Deeperblue for setting up, can't wait for the next meet up

Next Birmingham Watch Fair is 12th March, but there is the Watchit! Watch fair on 18th Feb 👍

@MarkCO There isn't a meet-up planned for any of these watch fairs yet, but we could put one together if there's interest? Or just get the midlands group together for coffee or food?

@Stricko, @Scooby, @Droptuned83, @Watchwitch and myself are in the midlands 👍
