ATG Forums

 

The idea of forums is for people to meet discuss and share ideas about watches, old new, blue, green anything! The site is largely for chronograph enthusiasts, but that does not mean that you cannot post about other types of watches just as long as they are interesting in their own way. Discuss ‘Off topic’ subjects not relating to the watch world and post your pictures too See Forum Guide for advice.

THE FORUMS ARE NOW READ ONLY; The New ATG Forums have arrived!  Please re-register on the new forum to begin posting.

Well I was there early with Gary (Agent Orange) and although I promised myself I would go without alcohol I am afraid I had a
Peroni black almost immediately. Gary being Chauffeur for the evening went without which obviously seriously distracted him as he forgot to take any pictures as I nearly did half a bottle of nice red later and I just remembered in time.


There were some nice watches there which I will list and some nicer people. All different types from other forums too but all very cool and as you will see the watches were all around.



Gary (agent orange) de reguer aluminium case filled with chronos and autos, the light wasn't great but the Damasko came out just fine.







Martin Page (Page) turned up with his partial collection, the theme being a different classic every day.
Featured, Zodiac val. 72 diver, Benrus val. 72 pilot, Breitling 806 Navitimer. he has a .321 and a Space Compax as well + I think he said a 50's Hanhart to add to the group.






Ben (light blue shirt) and Martin B were there from TZ - UK. They had a good selection of Divers and other interesting autos, Seiko Marine Master, Omega Seamaster 120, watches from Glcyne, Seiko, Eterna. a whole load of stuff, all very cool and interesting.

Dave S. (dark blue shirt on left of pic) from ATG Forum turned up with Some Lemania 5100 chronosgraphs from Fortis and Omega + other  Lemania fair from Italy.







We had 3 completely new to Forums watch enthusiasts there including Simon, below in the black shirt, who waded in with a Rolex GMT II and an Omega Flightmaster. He did well considering Ben is trying to sell him a carpet in the shot below. Ben is just showing him the orange nylon that he wraps his carpets in...



I brought some of my collection, Heuer Autavia PVD IDF, Tutima F3, Rolex Submariner 5513 1967+ some from the site. Autavia manual and the Bulova Spirit of America.




I gave out some freeby stuff from Linde Werdelin (thanks Sarah) the LW catalogue, worth a read and a Ski guide. Plus some very old ATG straps. I also had a LW Elemental black dial Biformeter with me on crocodile (which was very much passed around)  and I had the spare straps to show how you changed straps. General consensus was, fantastic quality, design and attention to detail and of course, 'bonkers' but everyone liked the watch so hey. Maybe they have got something!









High lights for me were the nice bottle of red that I appear to have drunk, bottle in the background. Martins Benrus and Ben's Seiko Marine Master and not forgetting the Berg marine, deck chronomtre brought along by David (Bristolian) Very nice watch indeed.




All in all it was a great evening. I am definitely going to organise another one soon so stay in touch!

Cheers!

Alistair
