Florida GTG Details!

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls Orlando (Winter Park) is set to go! Please read below for details:

When: 6/13/2009 Appr. 4:30-8:00
Where: Orlando Watch Co.
326 Park Avenue North
Winter Park, FL 32789
407.975.9137

Appetizers and drinks will be served and many watches will be on display. There will be some trivia giveaways to showcase some knowledge on vintage and new pieces (as well as some suprises within the shop). What happens after the GTG is totally dependent on what you guys would like to do. Let's all have a good time and get ready for the festivites! So, set your watches...mark your calendars...set up a babysitter...it's coming.

Questions, recommendations, or opinions? Feel free to shoot me a PM. See you guys soon!

Of course we will think of you JJ! Too bad we don't have a life-sized cutout of you so that way we could take pictures with you in them.

Perhaps we'll have to get Jocke to photochop you in!

We'd love to have you there. I would offer to share a hotel room, but I'm going to be an hour away at a golf retreat with some friends. This just happens to fall in line with the same weekend I'm in Orlando for a golf outing. 3 days of golf, and one afternoon of watch admiring watches and getting to meet some great people!

Let me get this straight?
Is this going to be a sit down dinner GTG or a 4 Hour stroll in a watch store?

From the sounds of it, we'll have watch store and a sit down dinner. So both!

Definitely try to be there.

I think an extended meet and greet at the watch store followed by a dinner or so.

Anyway, I'll be tipsy enough after 1.5 hours that it won't matter.
