perfect report, Christian! Thank you for sharing it with us. I really had missed you that weekend guys.

It's great to see you posting again, Christian! Your excellent photos showed many great friends I haven't seen in awhile. The BBAMSGTG has become a premier event on the IWC calendar. I hope to make it some year.

Christian - great photos and report mate! Loved seeing these and hope to make it to a BBAMSGTG as well as a return visit to Wien one day!

Brings back a perfect "monumental" BBAMSTGTG 2017(!)
Well captured Christian.

Thx a lot everyone for a briljant saterday.
(Special thanks to Bill for bringing the new AT!)
Yours sincerely

Awesome Christian. Well done. So cool to see the pics and everyone looking so happy.

Thanks for the wonderful report and pictures and it was a pleasure to meet so many friends again! Already looking forward to the next meeting!

Kind regards,

Clemens

Had a great time thanks guys, looking forward to the next time.

Thank you, Christian, excellent photographic record of a hugely enjoyable weekend. It was a pleasure to meet up with so many old friends again.

Thanks Christian for the pictures and the report.

We really enjoyed the meeting with old and new friends.

Greetings Martin

Perfect report Christian, thanks a lot!
Congrats to Tonny and his new platiki -wonderful watch!

greetings, Markus

Thanks Christian,
for sharing and being there.
The weekend was outstanding in every aspect.

Fantastic report Christian
It was wonderful to follow this legendary gtg.
Hope to make it one day
Thank You

Christian, great report on another fantastic BBAMSGTG. Hope you enjoy your new cuff links delivered by the mule train.

It's wonderful to be able to review (and relive) the event through photos. It's only when one finishes browsing through this excellent photo reportage of Christian does one realize that there was also so much more to this GTG than what the photos attest too - like getting to know many of the guys better halves, or having a quiet serious chat with my Dutch and other friends on more than just the topic of watches

Wonderful!

Thanks for posting Christian.

Hi Christian
