COMMUNITY...Sharing the Passion....Packed and ready to share the passion.

I am packed with 4 IWC's and my camera and headed to Amsterdam tonight for a GTG with several Collectors' Forum members on Monday. Obviously, pictures will follow. It will be an international event with members from the UK, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, and the USA. Which country(ies) did I miss? I heard IWC Amsterdam is sending an envoy as well with some new IWC's in tow.

It's these GTG's that make the IWC Collectors' Forum a great place to share our passion both on the web and face to face all over the world. Thanks IWC and MF for helping us Share the Passion. Wish all of you could join us.

Bill, I really wish I could join you guys. Have a great time!

Looking forward to meet you and the others. And thanks to IWC and Michael for enabling - with their watches, this forum and all other things they do for us collectors - these GTGs.

Safe travels Bill, looking forward to seeing you (and the others too) on Monday!

Kind regards,

Clemens

Likewise...travel safe and give my fondest regards to everyone! Enjoy your time in Europe, Bill!

Safe journey Bill. Looking forward to watches and friendship on Monday in Amsterdam.

Thanks IWC and our moderators for the watches, the forum and support of our IWC Collectors community.

Have a great trip, Bill, and I hope a good time is had by all. LOoking forward to a fine set of pictures - don't forget the food!

@ Dick, for our friend Bill nothing less than something really unique....

...and Yes, it will be Michelin Star rated !

We had a great meeting! I have some 80 pictures and will start working on a full report tonight.

Thank you all for your presence and great company. We heard some great stories but we also had some new memorable moments that will probably be told on other meetings for many years!

Kind regards,

Clemens

I can attest to the stories to remember suggestion by Clemens. In fact, our show was live around the globe. Text messages with attached pictures were flowing all evening.

I have to say the Nederlander contingent put on a good GTG. Thanks to all for organizing the event on a Holiday, Easter Monday. We had fellow Forum members come in from the UK, Germany,and Belgium. The conversations, friendships, booze, food, and watches were outstanding. The table shot had some 50 IWC's from our group. There was lust all around....just as Mark L.

I have a ton of pictures to share, but I am Latvia for the next few days and can't process photos until next week. I'm sure Clemens and RAVE will jump in as soon as they can. It will be interesting to see how the twist on our stories emerge.

I can't wait to see the pics and commentary! I am not surprised that our Dutch members put on a great GTG...it is a great group of folks!

And Oh Yes....

....the lovely Anne Sanders-Conil from IWC-Netherlands was there too with almost the complete 2013 Novelties....and she brought along this beauty too !

Stunning - yours my friend? :-)

Safe travels Bill (and everyone else attending) - look forward to the full report and photos.

The full report is online! Check it out: IWC GTG Amsterdam on April Fools day 2013

I hope the other attendees will add their pictures soon!

Kind regards,

Clemens
