More Alan Ross Collectors' Meeting pictures

Hi Forum Friends,

After Koen's great pictures some of my quick & dirty shots.

It was great to see old & new friends at a lovely venue in Amsterdam to meet up & have lunch with Alan. Out of 14 people only 7 Dutch ones, others came from Germany, UK, Austria, Belgium, India, USA etc.!
After lunch, we went to the IWC Boutique to admire some of the latest & greatest models whilst enjoying a glass of champagne ;-)

I'd like to thank Mark for setting it up, Bas for the Sysqa gift but I'd also like to specifically thank IWC Benelux & Nordics staff for joining us; John Jacobze, Inge Reich and the very friendly Michiel Bodéwes for having us at 'his' boutique!!!

Kind regards,

Bob

Great GTG guys.
Really enjoyed meeting you all again.
Special THX to Mark for setting this up, and Alan Ross making it happen by passing true Amsterdam.
Again THX <!>

Gentlemen,
It was a pleasure spending the day with you. Mark went out of his way to orchestrate this GTG. I must say that the folks from IWC Benelux and the Amsterdam boutique were gracious in attending and providing the proper Dutch ambiance to the event.
Our esteemed Moderator Tonny drove hundreds of kilometers from Belgium to get here. Giovanni came in from Düsseldorf. Bob Bunnik and Bas Dekkers trained and drove in. Ralph flew in from London early morning. And then Vishal flew in on his own plane. Wow!
I also made some new friends as there were 16 total participants.
It really felt special to be a part of it. The location was at an outdoor restaurant in a beautiful park and the weather cooperated nicely.
Two watches were brought in by me for Mark and Giovanni but I'll let them make the reveals. Also Tonny is celebrating a milestone birthday and he had a reveal as well.
All in all a great way to spend most of the day.

This appears to be a banner year for Dutch GTG's. I think Alan was in excellent company and I can personally speak for Mark's ability to bring great folks together!

looks like a really great day, a superb effort from many. especially mark who arranged and the iwc team who did some hosting.

regards,
thang

Great to see your happy faces again, thanks for sharing!

Well done guys. Alan is now an official AMSGTG member. Great job guys.

Thanks Bob for the great pictures and sharing them here with us. Too bad I wasn't able to join you for another great GTG! Hopefully I will make it next time.

Kind regards,

Clemens

Great pictures Bob! Thank you for sharing them with us :)

More excellent pics. Looks like another fun GTG. Has there ever been a bad one?

With such a great group of guys and gals, I think it's impossible :-)

Always great to see pictures from another fun GTG. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers Chris
