    A sloppy, grey, down pouring Sunday in NYC but I had the pleasure to meet @Noles_88 & @BenBagbag for a small gtg.
    It was so wet I was worried about taking some of these outside but hell with it. How often do we get to sit down with others who like watches as much as we do?

    I strapped on an SM300 and a Trench on my left, a Compax on my right, two chronometre's in my pockets, more importantly I trusted the waterproofing on my jacket- and ran outside hoping this isn't the day I get mugged.

    Made it and here's the only pic I could come up with. Apologize in advance for the bad lighting/ terrible photography. We were right next to the window- that's how dark it was outside mid-day.

    A few grails in the mix- can you spot them? If any of you other guys have better pics pls add them!

    It was nice meeting @Noles_88 and @jumpingsecond! And ya, it was pouring! I packed my watches in plastic bags in a box I was so nervous about the rain and humidity.
    It turned out to be a lot of fun! I brought my 3 Seamasters and a 71 Speedy I got from a retired US pilot (all on the left side of the picture.)

    Pictures were hard with the warm lighting and how dark it was outside. Here is my best one:

    I figured the lighting was so bad maybe I should take a video instead. You'll probably enjoy it a bit more!
