We do visit forums and maybe quite active but seldom post. You can post a question or beautiful watch but hardly see any reply. For myself, I would just admire the picture and smile.
That doesn't mean people are unfriendly but like I said, just shy.
It was in 2015...As I was going through a local watch forum, I kept receiving messages from whatsapp groupchats.from ex uni classmates, cycling friends..etc.
So suddenly this crazy idea struck.
Why not is there a Panerai groupchat for enthusiasts?
I tried.
30 Oct 2016 it started with only 2.shortly, we even have friends from overseas.
This, was yesterday.
Many had commitments thus we were unable to have a full turn out.
Well, 50% is good too.
I was the last to arrive and they started without me. Damm

While waiting for food, the usual begins.



We had 8pax but pls do not ask stupid questions like why was there 16 watches.
We are normal people, 8pax = 16 hands



Nice huh






The Japanese were here too.

Nice sumo

Food was served. Trust me, they totally ignored them.



Get lost, let me see what's the fuss about.

What?? This big thing is not a clock!! U are scaring me!

Not convincing this is nice, I am going to show my wife what rubbish this is.

I bet this is AAA

Instruments all out
