Title: MWF 4th Anniversary GTG - Report
Post by: danny on January 05, 2013, 10:08:25 PM
Hi guys,
I'm starting a new thread for the 4th anniversary GTG report. Feel free to post your pics and comments here.
I had a great time meeting up with new members and catching up with the regular ones.
Great company and fantastic timepieces...... it was the best anniversary GTG thus far.
Thanks to all who turned up and made this into a successful event and a big thank you to all the MODS (Peter, Scott, CK77 and Chris) who did a great job organizing and setting things up.  :thumbsup:

 :Cheers:

Thanks to all that attended the event and making this by far the largest turn out for a gtg in MWF history!  :Dancing_banana:
Great to meet new faces and members i havent seen before. ;D
Some really interesting time pieces that were in attendance !  :o

I enjoyed the company very much and hope to see more GTG small or big organized by any member on the forum.  ;D

Great to also see some who travel from far, who flew in and also from Singapore.

 :Cheers:

Very tired and sleepy now...looking forward to the pics

Nice!!! Dpkong flew in from Sarawak and some Singapore folks made their way down as well.
Unfortunately this Annual Dinner clashed with my son's birthday.
Looks really good... aaaaarrrrggghhh... really hope I can be there.
Well... maybe next year.

Thanks to the mods who organised the gathering. Your photo coverage of the watches and event is greatly appreciated.
One continues to learn so much by talking with other WIS who are as passionate about watches and horology, if not more.
Although some of the WIS' collection are boggling, the nice thing is that everyone is so humble and friendly.
With an open mind we learn to appreciate the views of everyone and pick up new tips on where and what next to buy.
Glad that I could make it to this event.  :thumbsup:
Where else can you get the chance to view such a diverse collection of quality pieces such as the ALS,PP,AP, etc and try on your wrists to see if that's next on your list

Aside to Primus,
Thanks for the Bowmore and the chance to wear a rare meteorite Daytona and a PP on my wrist…even for just a few minutes. :Cheers:
I'm not a Seikoristi/GS ambassador la… I love my GO and JLC as much…but I like your coining of the word Seikoristi….
Hope the P.ristis wont come gunning for you for tarnishing their name. :laugh:

BTW dun cry la…  :mooning:  after wearing your Daytona and PP I'm also crying…. :HammerHead:

Great GTG, it was really fascinating to meet new faces and re-connect with the usual villains who keep the poison brewing and lethal (swleong, Alvin, Meor, Andrew, Sean, the godfather and his trusted mods, Joseph, the very youthful David Tan, Rusmin, Terrence, SM, Kiamat with his Pam425.....just to name a few).....  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I could not believe what I saw. Wished I was there.

Woohoo, glad i managed to pop in, if only for short time. Had another do at the same time and area and was gleefully overjoyed when i noticed MWF dinner venue was just across the road. Molested some of the timepieces and rub shoulders with some ***istis ( Pam, seiko etc ). And bumped into some regulars and of course, the mods. The mods were grinning at the success of the event and rightfully so. Turnout was great tho i was told 2 ffk. Still kudos to the organizers.

Highlight of the night to me was not the timepieces...but meeting someone like Tyler who has all the knowledge of many timepieces in his head...I am not worthy bro!!!

It was a great night..... Congrats to the organiser...

The highlight was when all the timepieces on the table, and we took turns to molest the artpieces....

You are too kind. I'm afarid the truth is I am just watch enthusiast with passion to understand more about my watch.

I believe we are all equally worthy  ;)

Regard
Tyler


Kudos to the organisers and mods...Peter, CK77, David, Chrisyen.

Highlight of the night to me was not the timepieces...but meeting someone like Tyler who has all the knowledge of many timepieces in his head...I am not worthy bro!!!

Many thanks to all the mods who arranged this wonderful event. It was amazing to meet so many nice people with amazing watches/collection and humble enough to let others admire, fondle and try their prized possessions. The event felt very fast-paced and time was too short. The last of us left about 1.30am and I personally thought time passed too quickly. If only it had started much earlier although I did lose my way and arrived about an hour late.

There were a few members I was hoping to meet and chat with but time was too short and the venue was a little tight and I didn't get to accomplish that. Thanks to Peter, Danny, Chris, Jos, Primus, Ho, David, Loo, Rusmin, Sean, Alvin and many many others who made me feel welcome and at home. It was definitely worth the trip.

Some of the pictures I managed to take with my iPhone so quality is poor.


The mains.. missed the rest because I was too distracted..  :Cheers:

Earlier I still worry about whether we end up like pasar malam... Every1 bring their stock to sell....

It wasn't the case, every1 bring their collection to share...

Only setback is no female member turn out...
Hence no ladies watch during the gtg

Time to consider a ladies watch section to attract more female watch collectors
I believe the numbers is there and growing everyday

What a wonderful event and I learnt so much that I hardly able to digest.
Well organized, great venue, fantastic people and I wish it doesn't finish so early.
Thanks to the organizer for their hard work and to the great members of MWF, you guys are fantastic.
Btw I learnt that if the venue is more secure, I would be able to see more priced pieces so since I'm dealing with hotels, perhaps the next event, I can help to organize it in a private room with additional security.
Looking forward to the next event soon......

I have an awesome time during last week, was having fun and learn from the expert especially Danny,Chris,David and Terrence who share their experience. Hopefully get to speak to more members next time  :Dancing_banana:

Looks like a good mix of people and watches in the gathering... not just for the elites and super-rich. If the common bond for the GTG is the "love and passion" for watches (which the pics seemed to indicate), I think more members (with humbler time pieces like Seiko 5s, Steinharts, etc) would show up in future events!

Well done, organisers! Look forward to attend the next GTG..

Initially i was concerned whether wearing G Shock will be welcomed to the party then came the wrist shot!!!!

I totally felt welcome immediately and guess is the passion that counts rather than what watch you are wearing

Thanks for making me feel so welcome for the first time to the gathering

That's very re-assuring for newbies to join future gatherings.. Afterall, everyone has to start from somewhere in this watch hobby, and not everyone wants to put their money on a PP, AP, VC, JLC, Panerai, Rolex, etc without really knowing why these watches cost so much! Cheers! :Cheers:

A bit late with my contribution of the GTG.

Nevertheless better late than never.

It's great o finally put faces to names and I definitely had a wonderful time getting to know everyone.. learning new things... eye opening watches galore..and most importantly making new friends.

Thank you to everyone for sharing their time, knowledge and watches.

At the tip of my mind are Andrew for bringing and sharing his beautiful Blancpain Trilogy GMT. Loo and Joseph for their Seiko passion. Primus and Tyler for their mouth watering pieces. The mods for taking the time and effort organising such a wonderful and cozy GTG. Tony for his horological knowledge. Donald for his "overseas" trip over. Scott and Danny for the photos. Meor for lugging his extensive collection  :o :thumbsup: wow...the list just goes on and on........... in short everyone  :thumbsup:

You guys are awesome  :thumbsup:

Andrew; the true Blancpain man. Love the GMT, I call dibs should you decide to let go. Wonderful bracelet.
