Chicago Rolex Owners

Any Rolex owners around Chicago or the suburbs? Would love to connect with people in the area and organize a monthly or quarterly get-together.

I'm downtown.

In about 5-6 months, I anticipate having a lot to share with the Rolex (and watch) community.

I am in CHI regularly for work (this week in fact) and have returned to "Rolex" ownership recently with a Tudor purchase. I always enjoy a social gathering when traveling for work. Usually around River North.

I am in the Elmhurst area-- work downtown on the river (near Chicago Cut). I think the downtown is probably the best location-- Chicago Cut? Prime Provision? maybe for drinks?

Bump - trying to get something together for a group of enthusiasts if anyone is interested. Last one was city but open to that or burbs depending on what folks want to do.

Better hide that Rolex out in public in Chicago. My neighbor just came home with one less Omega after getting robbed walking out of the Hard Rock Hotel. (my favorite hotel/area when in town).

I don’t say this to put Chicago down because I love it there, just want everyone to be careful and not get hurt.

Would love to do a meeting with local watch lovers. Sadly no one in my current circle shares the same love as I.

No, there is not. I live here downtown in River North, funnily enough can see Hard Rock Cafe from my living room.

Looks like a lot of talk but no actual meetups. Lets organize something and have a fun time. Summer is coming, northshore has a lot of places to meetup. Downtown isn’t as safe as one of the northern suburbs
