A GTG (short for Get Together) organized by a few members of the Vintage Rolex Forum is always good for a lot of photographs of impressive watches and watch collections.

Below you’ll see a Rolex ref.6200, a very nice vintage early ‘Submariner’ Replica IWC without the printing on the dial being a Sub. The gilt dial is very nice on this ‘experimental’ Submariner. Probably produced around 1955. And this is not a Rolex, but being an AP fan and all, I though this might be worth posting here. An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept on a mesh bracelet.
