    Cool time 4A pint - London GTG - 18th April 2017

    Hey Gang!

    Pleased to announce that the next time 4A pint get together in London, will be on Tuesday 18th April 2017.

    This month we had 33 of us in a pub, geeking out over watches and drinking too much beer - I know a few people that came along are members here too, would be great if a few more were to join us in April!

    Sign up Here!

    Cheers

    Chris

    two of my favourite past-times! How does it work - sign-up - then we are told the 'secret location'?

    Yes!

    We share the location with everyone 24 hours before hand - people that haven't been before get contacted, we have a bit of a chat to vet them, ask for proof they're a collector rather than someone with a crowbar and a transit van who want's to take all the watches home with them.

    Much easier to do if the person know's someone who's been before - as I said, I think a few chaps from here came along on Tuesday... and mentioned there had been some TZ get togethers in the past ;)

    The eternal question!

    Most people bring a few things with them... a few people go a bit nuts.

    I tend to wear one and bring one or two extras in a roll.

    That's a good question.

    I've posted 3500 + times on the Omega Forums (https://omegaforums.net/members/tyrantlizardrex.1643/)

    And been running time 4A pint since November last year.

    This month we had 33 collectors in the room, plus the team from Fellows Auctioneers who were showing off some lots from their upcoming April auction.

    Prove to me that you're not a crow bar wealding nut job, and I might approve you. ;)

    Well I have 4400+ posts on this forum since 2008, used to be a moderator for Breitling sub-forum on a well known fora - but I still might be a nut job :-). Anyway it sounds a fun time. I'll be in touch! Thanks for taking the time to organise this style of events.

    Sorry - I won't be joining as I prefer not to disclose my personal details. I wish you luck with the group anyway.

    Great night out last night.

    Enjoyed seeing Andy's collection of Autavias. Lots of omega forum people there also with interesting omegas. The Rolex honeycomb was was wonderful to see (apparently only 7 in the world and the chap has 2 of them!). The Lemania was also really nice. I only managed to take a few pictures as I was chatting.

    Thanks for organising Chris.

    Looking forward to the next one!

    I'm afraid I like cocktails and tapas far too much to join you. If it were port and cheese, then perhaps ;)

    Good to chat last night and hope to make the next one.

    Oh. And welcome to #teamwatchnerd (along with a very confused Nicholas Parsons).
