Meeting Rolex Collectors in Maastricht, NL
When you read “Maastricht” most vintage Rolex collectors will automatically think of our legendary Vintage Rolex Passion Meetings that have taken place many times in Hollands oldest city. But this time it was about leather straps and goodies around collecting watches, a business my friend Bernhard started some while ago under the name: Bulang&Sons. For this his agency at the harbor in Maastricht needed to redesign to become a lounge, relax area for watch minded. My dear friends Rob & Ellen Truijen helped realizing the whole concept of which I really liked the final result! So for the opening of his new space, some old and new watch collector friends came to celebrate. Excellent catering, great food and drinks made the whole event for me unforgettable. I really enjoyed the relaxed talks about our mutual passion, if it’s about a simple matte 5513 or the rare glossy 369 5513 version, the group interacted great with each other and actually thats what it’s all about, sharing passion!
