    Hi, my friends!

    I can´t tell you how much I enjoyed the BBAMSGT 2016. And I was really happy to see some faces again - and to meet some of you the first time in "reality" - Mark, Jarrod and Steph, Bill, Clemens, Paul and all the other´s.

    Mark - thank you so much for organizing this wonderful event. Tonny, you are a great quiz master. And Bas, it was great to show us the three models of the new Ingenieur Chronograph Classic Special Edition. Thank you!

    ok ... so it all started for me at Vondelpark -

    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0504_zpsjvsa0n5c.jpg

    after a light lunch a small group of watch-freaks made their way to the IWC-Boutique ... :-)
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0510_zpsuv3t7oqf.jpg
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0511_zpseivwlzoa.jpg

    the friendly staff allowed us to run the shop - you couldn´t look fast enough to see Arne with another BP on his wrist ....
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0516_zpsycliicqo.jpg

    bill followed to show this wonderful PPC
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0517_zpsh0uitmiw.jpg

    then we went upstairs and Mark tried to convince Steph for a new purchase - and she looked Jarrod deep into his eyes ;-)
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0548_zpss9tlxs5b.jpg

    and then we startet the boat trip
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0569_zpsq5r31kyp.jpg

    talking about ... watches and tried on some of them - give me yours I give you mine ...
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0602_zpsqjkfpfyf.jpg

    Jarrod´s Cf1 - I love it! - Fits perfectly to my jacket, don´t you think so? ;-)
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0567_zpsd1gb6ycu.jpg

    then we went on to the skybar at okura hotel to meet even more collectors

    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0612_zps8ctoztlk.jpg

    bill always was very busy ...
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0611_zpsusiiwblf.jpg

    then a moving gesture in memoriam of Gio, Mark and Bill handed over Natascha a foto album showing him with his best (forum) friends ...
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0619_zps7faeq6w4.jpg
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0624_zpsfxvbhwl6.jpg

    adrian gave a short lecture about Caliber 100
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0631_zpso2re6ce5.jpg

    tonny´s obligatory quiz followed - hard questions by the way ...
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0633_zpsvo5hrn3v.jpg

    then there was this "give me yours I give you mine" thing again
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/F44EA434-85C0-4A5D-87E0-23F6662FF633_zpsxgu0ygzy.jpg

    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0626_zpsgcsbfftf.jpg

    fell in love with this rare Portoguese beauty from Clemens...
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/7FDFAA08-EC0B-4CED-B958-954714F59FD9_zpsr56medat.jpg

    ... then the new Ingenieur collection ...
    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/BD7E4330-A561-486A-ADEA-83641ABBA56D_zpsjneeimit.jpg

    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/0AB27E99-F776-4FDA-B353-CC0394ED5826_zpsszpwbpue.jpg

    ... and finally the table shot - OMG!

    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/DSC_0649_zpsiwi5b3vg.jpg

    ... and these are only a few of my impressions - a few of about 200 pictures I made.
    Nevertheless I have one favorite. And here it is: :-)))

    i42.photobucket.com/albums/e312/uhrvoll/super4_zpsmtg8ynh2.jpg
    ... did Bill say something like "size doesn´t matter"?
    :-)
    I hope you enjoyed!
    Hope to see you all again soon (and your fantastic timepieces ;-)

    Best regards,

    Christian

    Great report Christian, a truly special event especially with so many of Gio's watches finding new homes. Mine unfortunately didn't make the journey.

    So sad I could not attend and missed this incredible occasion.

    Christian, mutually pleased to have finally met f2f - yet, the actual meeting felt like we have known each other for ages! Such is the nature of this forum, and the comarade and common passion amongst us IWC Collectors.

    It was great to have hosted not one, but two fine fellows from Vienna and we look forward to the next GTG - a small one at the local Boutique in your home town.

    Great report and photos Christian - it looked like a wonderful time and GTG.

    Looking forward to the day I return to Vienna - I don't think it'll be too far away mate - but I don't think I'll be making the next one that Mark alluded to.
