linda, russell, elgin, tjeng jaw, monique, stefano and phil

Xavier Dufoix was on top form in his presentation and for the quiz
that my table almost won but for 1 man who is apparently not only
a walking dictionary for iwc but knows his jlc pretty well...

some shots of an excellent thai meal

i love prawns

the belachan was excellent ... very spicy, how it should be :p

audemars piguet royal oak offshore arnold's all stars 48mm

There were several nice non-JLC watches abouts too...
this one is the mac daddy... this watch IS HUGE. i had difficulty holding it
in my hand... its 48mm and it makes my ROO feel so small ;) haha

glashutte original swan neck balance cock

ooh nice back... 2 balance cocks are better than 1...

goodies this round were a bag tag and this years catalogue
the watch didn't come in the goody bag

richard mille rm10

to end off... this was my favorite wrist shot of the nite... thanks philip for holding so still and that shirt is just too funky man :) excellent stuff

Thanks to all the fine folks at JLC and Jaw on Horomundi for a great evening and as always it was great catching up with old mates and meeting new people who share this passion of ours. Hope you enjoyed this photo-report.

Cheers
