Chicago GTG Pictures Fri, 15 February 2013 11:17 Go to previous message

A very fun Chicago GTG was held a couple of nights ago. We were 11 attendees...not counting armed guards. Held in the loop, we were close to the train station which made it super easy for us suburbanites to attend. Special thanks to our event organizer, Tadman. Here are some poorly lit restaurant point-n-shoot pics I snapped.

We had watches of all sizes
HG Waltham WWII

A WS for better scale.

I had put in a special request with Rob to bring one of his IWC Portuguese. Imagine my sensory overload when he presented THIS!

Jubilee set in box

Yes, the complete set of Jubilee Portuguese 5441s. SS, RG, and PT.
Jubilee trio 2

Jubilee backs

A ws of one on moi...
IWC Jubilee Port ws

Then, like it was no big deal, out popped another IWC classic, here presented with others.
LM Portofinio Waltham

Portofino 5251 back

Some other great pieces. A vintage Omega from the 40s, I think.

This GP with carbon fiber dial gave off a HUGE 3D effect.

A group shot of most of the pieces sans the 3 Jubilees and a few others that escaped or got misplaced in the shuffle.

A few close-up crops of the same shot. Please forgive the extra poor photo quality...

If you'd like to be added to the mailing list for the next Chicago GTG, please PM Tadman, or myself with your email address.
Thanks for looking.
