Some photos from a Calgary RedBar meeting on Feb 27

Last night I caught up with about 15 other WIS types at a local pub to geek out and share a few pints. The lads brought some nice pieces so here a few of them that I managed to try on. Apologize for the crappy photos.....pub lighting ain't the best

This Orient is just great and as many can attest, it's a great alternative to the SKX007



Now this Sinn had to be one of the heaviest brutes I ever worn. It's got an oil filled case. That and it's made of tegimented steel.



At the opposite end of the weight spectrum was this cool Marathon field watch.



Here's a Big Crown on a big watch..



And the piece de resistance? Reckon it would have to be this Rolex GMT Master II in yellow gold, with  a green dial. Have to admit, it felt very nice!


Oh and the beers were delightfully refreshing!

Excellent. I have been giving Redbar some thought lately, if I had a few more hours in the day it would be a no brainier.. Heard a great interview with the founder today who seems like a seriously decent fella.

For sure Pip. Check one out when you have the opportunity!

It was and for the last while, all meetings have been zoom calls but next week we're getting together at a pub while keeping our distance. Should be interesting. These meetups are great to meet fellow enthusiasts and try on some different watches.
