Looks like a beautiful event, thanks for sharing - hope you brought home memories and maybe an auction item or two.

Best,

Was this sponsored by anyone? I see a ton of MB&F but no one I recognize from MB&F. Looks like a good time was had by all, thanks for sharing.

I have seen quite a few IGs posting this....This is Horological Heaven!!

Wow, good for you, Justin and many others to be invited. I wonder who's the generous sponsor for this? I kind of heard "Iceman" somewhere, and I know he's a huge collector from Indonesia....he posted here occasionally, less nowadays. What a superb event t... 

No sponsor bro as explained above in Jorge's post. The idea stemmed from my immediate collecting group and was organized by a good friend (iceman - founder of the Vintage Rolex Asylum and fellow WPS)...

Thanks for sharing! …. Knowing this would flood your inbox of next time invites. I like the production of the video, someone had to edit it, get the footage of people arriving, lots of details, drone shots, blah blah blah! Bravo my friend!
