Woow.. wooow...woooow.

What else to say. Passion 2010 was a giga blast! Great people... also we had to miss some dear friends who could not join at last notice. You where missed my friends! NEXT YEAR!!! 100%!

This edition was another big highlight for me. So many great people,... gave so much energy and some travelled so far to join in.
People from all over the world. From all different background. Joined together in one big passion.

Friendship and Trust!!! The biggest and most important quality of the meeting. Only possible in a small group.

But this said... wooooow the watches. Ohhhh what killer grails did we see. The best 5512's... Milsub's,. Comex,.. Newman... Killy... Daytrona's... so many watches in fantastic condition. Maybe that was the best this year. The quality of the watches there.

Not only rare... but all to die for! And i learned a lot this year. About focus and even higher level of quality!


What fun did we have... Thanks again for that great celebration.

And sorry for the late images. But after Passion was a 4 day-event for me this year. And no time or energy left till now to work on the images.

But here we go.....

Friday lunch and night was great guys!!!


On saturday.... the main event started... but looked more like a bag collectors event LOOL!

It was a great weekend.

Special thanks to Philipp and Bernhard for organizing it and bringing everybody together

BUlli,
What do you know about this dial? Its a very cool and clean piece.

I was living in fear all weekend long as I know these pics would show up today! Now I'm ever more depressed than I thought I would be!!!
Guess I will leave office very early and ease the pain with a few cocktail at the Beverly Hills Hotel, just as Dean (Martin that is) used to do
Fantastic event Bernhard and Philipp, I can only imagine how much work went into this! BRAVO!

awesome pics and nice 2 see some faces. Looks like a BLAST!! WOW.

.

Thanks Richard!

We enjoy our privacy... and also safty ... otherwise we could not share those images/event...

Thanks,

B

show these pictures should be banned if you do not have a defibrillator on hand :D
spectacular
thanks

I'm going back to the start again ...... and maybe again after that ...... Brill !!

Thanks for sharing.
cheers,
mark

This meeting is only possible through your passion and dedication.
Big respect!

Best regards,

Martijn

Wonderful company. Thanks again to you both for such an amazing and relaxing gathering. Its one of those events that you think you know a little about Rolex before you go then WOW!! Steep learning curve for me.

Look forward to next year already
Best Regards.
Paul

And many thanks for all the kind words!! It's our deep believe in vintage Rolex
that makes these Passion Meetings possible, no hard work, just a refection of
the great people we meet every year that suffer the same handicap

&

So let's see who else we're going to meet next year that can make the breadbasket burn on 2011 edition....



All the best to all of YOU!

Regards, Philipp

But WE did not do it.... it's all about the group!!!!!
Amazing... that all these great people are joining in ... in our small town.. to celebrate this craziness!

And it's the great magic about this event. The mixture of the right people.... which creates a great trust and friendship.

So every-body feels save and relaxed..... so we can enjoy those grails. Without jealousy ... and being happy for the other. Enjoying... learning,.... sharing..trusting!


A lot of people don't understand the effort and magic behind that!

I even could see on some forum people talking about 'how long is your di**'-kind of situation on the meeting.
I guess they will never get it.. that special feeling at PASSION, that is all the opposite of the above.
There are people that are bull-shitting about a Cartier Bracelet....value.... and stuff like that. Instead thinking of the watch next to it.

They will not get it i guess. Or have a different ROLEX hobby. And it shows... how important it is... to bring the right people together!

And keep it small. This year was the maximum of people. We want to keep that special feeling and atmosphere!
Maybe 3 days next year... so there is more time to enjoy all the watches (in detail) and fun together!


Can't wait till 2011.... and see you guy's again.. hope earlier then that!
Maybe Genva.. auction times.

Cool meeting...sorry I missed it...Next year for sure !!
