TimeZone GTG in London, October 2007
It just occurred to me that I completely forgot to blog about this amazing event. This was my very FIRST GTG, and meeting not so strange strangers for the very first time was quite thrilling to say the least.
I have been, and still am, an active member of TimeZone’s Rolex forum - so as you can imagine we keep chatting and bumping into each other online. However, getting to meet these folks in real life was very cool.

Here we are, meeting for the very first time in front of the Rolex boutique on Bond Street,
Yours truly has just gone shopping at the Mont Blanc boutique…lol! This is James Dowling, the author of “Best of Time: Rolex Wristwatches, an Unauthorized History”, autographing a copy…
Illuminatus (David) trying out the GMTIIC (SS),
The Vintage Watch Company and David Duggan on display at Burlington Arcade,
Milos inspecting a very special ‘SS’ Day Date on James’ wrist. Rolex have ‘never’ made, DDs in anything other than precious metals hehe…
We ended up chatting about more watches at Richoux, one of my usual haunts…
A GTG tradition, the ‘table shot’:
Definitely an unforgettable experience, and I sincerely look forward to the next GTG in London. A much more detailed writeup maybe found linked below.
