My trip to SEA - GTG

Last week I was in SEA (Taipei, Singapore, Hong Kong) for business, but of course couldn't miss the chance to meet my good friends living there. Shing already posted few photos from our spontan GTG on Friday - finally, 'bumblebee' is back... and led to a very interesting evening GTG :) I add also few photos from my trip, with watches, friends etc)))

Started from the flight from Moscow to Hong Kong

Then I had connected flight to Taipei

Visited Taipei 101 of course

and IWC boutique there. Unfortunately no photos were allowed inside(( They have actually Ali BP and new Inge AMG for sale.

The view from Taipei 101:

Here I read the newspaper with this beautiful advertising already in Singapore

Singaporean view

and the dinner with my partners

Actually I was in Singapore less than one day, but I was lucky enough to catch very late at the night KS Low and Vishal.

And left Singapore next morning for Hong Kong.

Hong Kong

First "spontan" GTG with Shing and Ricky

and already agreed on Saturday night with Shing and Felix

Flagship boutique is fantastic, possible to try Siderale and Inge bike))

Afterwards we walked a bit through the streets checking watch shops and went to the bar to meet Felix

Next morning I was ready for take off))

So, it was very quick, but very nice trip. Thank you guys very much I could meet you and thanks a lot that you could apopt your plans for my tough schedule. Michael, sorry I missed you, but sure I meet you next time in Singapore, Moscow, Schaffhausen or somewhere else.

Hey Roman, great post of an awesome trip!!!!!

Will you be back in HK soon? I'm arriving April 28th ;-))))

Another fantastic international GTG, spontaneous or not. I will have my own with some great forum chaps at the first of April in Amsterdam on my way to Latvia for a Board Meeting. I hope to have equally good pictures, but I doubt if we will have a Siderale spotting.

Thanks for the report.

No, Nad, don't think so. Most probably I will be at the end of April in the region of Fr/M - Stuttgart - Basel (hope to come briefly in Schaffhausen as well).

Roman, glad you had such a good visit and we'll be sure to connect next time you are in town.

Roman,

Very cool you got to wear a Sideral even if it was for just a short time.
Always nice to see these GTG around the world.
Thanks for posting.
See you in NYC soon?

I think that being an airline pilot is the ultimate job for GTG's. You get to show up everywhere eventually. Nice work Vishal !

Hi Roman,

It was great to have a chance to meet you up. Great watch conversation with Shing. Hope to see you soon.

Kevin, NYC in my private plans to go, as for my business US is very weak market currently.

Roman -

Thanks for the great report!

Also, I didn't realize that the Ali Big Pilot was generally available overseas - thanks for the info.

Great report Roman, thanks for sharing.

Fantastic to see those international GTGs.

Wow, what a great report ! I still love them. Thank you very much for shraing it, Roman!

Great travelogue and report. The Ingenieur Hong Kong Flagship LE One out of 188 is very intreguing?

roman, great travelogue... and always special to see these gtgs!

i am liking your noguchi ingenieur!

thang

Great catching up Roman and Vishal! It was coincidental that Vishal flew in to town the same day. I guess we shouldn't have left it to the eleventh hour for a GTG next time. But nevertheless it was great fun even though short.

The frequency of GTG's has been phenomenal this year! Thanks for taking us along, Roman. I loved the "obligatory" table shot of all those great watches!

Roman -

Great travelogue. Lot of watch friends on that multi-leg trip!
