Every worse recruit’s nightmare was happening now; there are welcoming speeches by Danny from Malaysia Watch Forum and Tong from FJ Benjamin with stern looking Rocketman being the bodyguard for these two in order to prevent bad things from happening.

Thanks for the event report

Love the photos ... Can feel the joy of every1. Hardly remember when is the last time we been tortured so happily !

Jus for correction
B Rocket is not the gen 5 of BR, it's a continue collaboration with Harley Davidsen for special project & special design watches n bike
B Rocket man came to withness the training and share some joy only
Gen 5 of BR will remain a secret till oct 2014 officially announcement by BR



Anyway,  I wish to see more photo of happily being tortured photos...

Abel,
Thanks for sharing the report. Great pictures and entertaining write up.

I had a truly enjoyable time at the GTG meeting up with fellow watch enthusiasts from Malaysia Watch Forum as well as the Bell & Ross Malaysian Owner's Club on Facebook. Full credits must be given to the organizers including the MWF moderators and the great team from FJ Benjamin for having done a wonderful job organizing the GTG.

I would like to express our appreciation to FJ Benjamin for sponsoring the event including the wonderful door gifts. I'm sure everyone who attended the event went home with fond memories as well as a much greater appreciation for Bell & Ross fine timepieces especially the evolutionary design process behind each generation of Bell & Ross collection.

And we are all looking forward with much anticipation to Generation 5!

 :Cheers:
