In preparation for BBAMSGTG, there was a warmup BBNYCGTG....

A trip to New York would not be complete without hanging out with good friends at the IWC Flagship Boutique. In addition to great camaraderie, we get to see the fantastic selection of watches from the current line up.

Firstly, Bill very kindly gave me an IWC cap :o)

Thank you Hoa for being on hand to provide us with wonderful IWC hospitality.
A great afternoon was completed with a wonderful dinner afterwards. Thanks everyone for coming out to make a memorable day.

Very nice Mark and that's a cool gift from Bill too.

These GTGs are a great part of our forum.

Mark,

We indeed had a marvelous afternoon and evening with you and your family in NYC. Actually, this one should be the MFNYCGTG. You were the special guest. I just act as the host along with Evan and others in the NY area. Like you, I must thank Hoa and the NY Boutique team for their usual customer centered and friendly service at the Boutique.

Congratulations to your daughter on her HS graduation and on her first visit to the Big Apple. I know she enjoyed the time at the Boutique. I believe she convinced Benny, the Boutique watchmaker, to enroll her in a watchmaker's class.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. See you again soon I hope. And, I look forward to the 17 June BBAMSGTG which will be the biggest and best ever, I understand.

A poor quality iPhone photo of the cap for Mark. I hear it's his first IWC baseball cap. Wear it in good health.

These are great pics from another successful NYCGTG. My best regards to everyone. I look forward to the occasion when I can spend time with Bill and Mary again, and finally meet Mark and Evan. Mark, you're really rockin' the IWC cap!

Very nice report and nice pictures!

Great report. Nice pictures.

Thank You Robert, Koen and Anthony.
Bill, thanks again for the cap and great times.
Hope to meet you too Jim, sometime soon!
