London TRF GTG

Looks like my London visit will be Oct 6th thru Oct 17, 2008. Many have expressed a desire to attend. "Flyboy", if I remember correctly, offered to possibly arrange a meeting with a watchmaker from his employer [Rolex AD]. The exchange rate will prohibit a new watch purchase but I do hope to celebrate my visit with a "coke" bezel insert for my GMT!
So, if you think it's possible to make it, or likely, please add your name to the list.
Can't wait,
dP

I'll be there, will have to be over the weekend though as I work at HQ Mon-Fri.

Meeting some of our watchmakers shouldn't be a problem and I'll look into what else I can squeeze out of the company!
Will need to know definite numbers to see what I can do.

We do have some great stores in London, including the Rolex only WoS on Bond Street.

We'll have to sort out a reminder as by then I would have forgotten all about it.
I can't remember who I am sometimes, but maybe that is just the beer that does that to me

I'll try to organise a schedule where I can be in London on that day (I'm down from Edinburgh 2 or 3 times every month). In the diary...

I probably won't be able to stay in London for so many days, but more likely have time to stay 3 days or so.
