London GTG with Mark F

Great to meet another esteemed forummer in a GTG. This time it was Mark Fleminger who was our guest of honour, who flew in for the first leg of his summer holidays.

While waiting for Mark, I couldn’t help staring at a certain wrist.

And can you blame me? Although I’d never pull it off quite as debonair as Sir Ralph does.

After greeting Mark and his lovely wife and daughter it was straight to the antique arcades, although with a limited selection being a Saturday.

It was then of course off to the IWC boutique

A real pleasure meeting you Mark. Until our next GTG…

Regards,
Thang

Nice pics guys. Great to see another London GTG. Enjoy!

Well done, Thang. It was a pleasure to meet Mark and his delightful wife and daughter. The Boutique is a super place to base a GTG. We managed to see a huge variety of tempting watches on the way to the Boutique. I thought at one stage that Mark would fold under the Thang's irresistible enabling powers. We all managed to survive the experience with our credit cards intact. An enjoyable day out.

Very nice to see the gang together in London. Enjoy your stay and be thankful the enablers were less effective this time than usual.

Glad to see the London lads in fine form. Everyone needs to visit with these guys not only for the fun and fellowship, but to see if they are up to the Thang enabling challenge!

Thank You Thang, Ralf and Greg for taking the time to come and meet with me. I really appreciate the effort. It was a memorable time and we enjoyed your hospitality.

Coincidently, Greg and I made up 2 matching pairs....

Thanks again guys for so generously hosting.

Great pics, looks like a great time. Those Vintage Collection Ingenieur Laureus Editions are spectactular!

Great get-together.

I'm surprised Mark resisted the urge to add a vintage piece to his collection

Not to hijack the thread, but I'll be in London around Christmas time with my family - so, if Thang, Ralph and Greg are around and interested I'd love to catch up too!
