Hi All,
As most of you have seen, I made a trip over to the US the other week and caught up with Jim (DZUL) in Austin along with Bill (BILL B.) and Kevin (KEVINJ) in NC coupled with a visit to the flagship boutique. Since getting back to Aus I have been flat chat and not had a lot of time to go back over the trip. Not much more can be said that hasn't already (see here and here and Bill took some great shots at the boutique so not a lot more can be shown but I would just like to say a bit thanks to Bill Jim and Kevin for being great hosts and to MF and IWC for hosting the forum that made it all possible.
I did manage to get a few phone shots on the trip and though I had best put them up so here they are:
The collection (Bill, Kevin and mine) at NY Flagship :
The collection (Jim and mine) in Austin:
Looking down into the boutique
A pair of beauties (note one of these may have been sold on the day I was there - congrats to one very happy new owner if it did happen!)
One of the Portuguese cases
Some nice new BP's
And a Galapagos Aquatimer - belongs to someone I met at the bar in the hotel in NY whilst having a nightcap, funny enough he is an pommy who lives around the corner from me in Sydney (small world!)-
There have been a number of other GTG's posted on the forum of late which is great to see, keep up the good work everyone, it is great to put faces to names and shaking someone's hand is always better than chatting on line, especially when you both have an IWC on your wrist!
Cheers,
Ben

Thanks for the recap Ben and good to see you got home safe. If you ever come to visit Europe and the Netherlands, just let me know and we can organise a GTG here too!

Ben, it was great meeting you and visiting while you were in NYC. Both Bill and I love showing off OUR Flag Ship Boutique to the world, thanks for giving us the opportunity. Hope you get back to NYC soon for another GTG.

Not much more to add. Ben, it was a pleasure to meet you and spend some quality time in the Flagship Boutique with you, Kevin and the excellent staff who were very accommodating to us.
I look forward to your next visit and to any GTG for other visitors to the Big Apple.

Sorry I missed out on the fun. But Kevin and Bill are great tour guides.
And fun lunch mates at our fav Papillon Bistro across the street from the Flagship. LOL
