Ok guys, here are a lot of pictures from our GTG today

It's rainy season in Singapore. It was wet, sky was dark this morning

Picture from my apartment



My son told me," Time to go Dad" with PAM 112 on his wrist.



Indeed I was a bit late, as our GTG started at 11.30AM. But no problem to reach the Paulaner restaurant on time. The streets were quite empty on this Sunday morning.

When we reached there, the weather had improved. Still raining, but the dark clouds moved away.



Picture inside the restaurant, they brew the traditional German beer inhouse. This is the tank for brewing the beer. Joerg promised to pay for our first beer. And this is tank that we were going to empty as our first beer. Heavy bill on the way to you Mr. Schauer :)



It's a brunch buffet, foods are ready and table was set for us






Well, soon one by one appeared and the first thing we did was to take the group picture. From left to right: Dietmar, Zenny, Erik_H, CKH2359, Hary and sk001



See, how watches can make people smile



And here is the group photo of our watches



Close-up of our treasures:

Stowa MO LE


Stowa MO serial, polished


"Lost MO brothers" met again in Singapore



Stowa FO LE


Someone must have admired my Stowa Antea so much until I forgot to take it back for close-up picture :)

Ok, let's move to non Stowa watches

Beautiful pocket watches from Erik_H, stunning dials and movements despite the age of those Hamilton








Another Hamilton, this time a modern one



And German gang:

Laco WUS


Archimede Pilot Original


Stunning Damasko DC 56


Sinn 856S UTC


Sinn Tempus U1



Another sturdy watch, Muehle Glashuette


Sturdy and heavy Temption


Our expert explained the casing quality



Well, after 3 hours of eating and chatting, the restaurant politely asked us to go as they were going to close.

Not enough of watches, small group of us moved to see more watches at two famous ADs in Singapore.




And discussing what's the next purchase :)



Thanks a lot guys for coming. I enjoyed it very much and hopefully you all too. We had a lot of fun and we agreed to have more regular GTG. Hope you enjoy this report too
