Jocke, look for Chad : )

Chad the watch guy is leaving for Basel as we speak.


He hosts our GTG at Henne Jewelers in sunny Shadyside...


He told me that he'll have more goodies this year for us!

Lucky fellow...


Jocke, Chad and the rest of yunz, have a blast and take pictures, if you please.

Here is the link to our hotel, The Doubletree in Monroeville, to make a reservation for this recurring, very enjoyable, event.

Hope to see yunz here on June 21-24.

I'll try to make it to at least the Monroeville hijinx. I just joined today, I'm pretty sure this is my first post.

I bought two Swiss watches this year, but haven't sprung for a Rolex yet. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a Submariner or SeaDweller, preferably black face, maybe even one of those PVD aftermarket coated jobs.

With Craig's calculations, likely a short thirteen block stroll.

Springhill on route 48 is 1/2 mile from corner of 48 and 22...where the Hampton is.

Almost directly behind Max and Erma's and beside the Holiday Inn.

Don't knock it, Craigster. At least he admits it. Up until this past year he probably never would have thought he was gonna like the 'burgh.

I will be there this year--finally!

I'll meet you all at Casa D'Oro and have lunch and head to Orr's.
Then on Saturday meet up at Henne's and hang for the day and do dinner. Will bring my wife as well.
Looking forward to it!!
