Have we set a date yet? I'm not sure I could make it out to the Lincoln Park location depending on date. I could easily make it out to Oak Brook on most weekends, though.

I guess I left town at the right time :-) I totally escape the blizzard in Chicago.

So, are we still on for the Chicago meet up?

jwkunkle · 18 February 2011, 05:58 AM

I am in Indiana but would be down for a Chicago trip.

dnagwhogas · 18 February 2011, 12:07 PM

I'm in just let me know!

Lion · 16 March 2011, 02:44 AM

Is there any newer news on whether a GTG is going to happen in Chicago area???

qualizon · 8 April 2011, 05:03 AM

Just started a Chicago group in TRF, most of you in this thread should receive an invitation.

tkc324 · 8 April 2011, 06:13 AM

Yep... got it and joined!! The weather is getting a little nicer... when should we do a GTG??

qualizon · 8 April 2011, 07:49 AM

let's give it a day for people to join the group, and then we'll talk about the date and location :-)

Lion · 8 April 2011, 01:59 PM

Yup...got my invitation and joined right away. A GTG will be a lot of fun especially now that the weather is changing and getting nice!!!

qualizon · 10 April 2011, 04:24 AM

Yea, feel free to suggest a meeting place or activity for the Chicago GTG!

I'm not to familiar with the Rolex AD's in the city so I can not be of much help but I still want to join in the fun. The only Rolex AD that I know of in the city is James & Sons in Lincoln Park!!!

dddrees · 12 April 2011, 02:06 AM

I know I saw either an AD or Boutique that is due to open this spring sometime being advertised on North Michigan. CD Peacock is on North Michigan and they are an AD, but their shop is a bit small. They do of course have a number of watch shops all along North Michigan. Just came back from Chicago yesterday.

tkc324 · 12 April 2011, 02:48 AM

James and Son has plenty of street parking in that area.
The new Rolex boutique is opening next to Nordstrom but parking is a pain around there.
There is also CD Peacock inside Nordstrom.
How about that weather we had yesterday huh? hope everyone got a chance to enjoy it!!

It was too bad that was the day I had to drive back home, but still all in all had a marvelous time in Chicago. Got to See Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks when I was there.

I have bought both of my Rolexes at James & Sons and they are a good company to deal with. And yes, the weather was great yesterday and on
Saturday as well...went to some garden centers to look around with the wife!!!

last time I only saw a new watch boutique is in progress right across the street from bloomingdale at N. Michigan, it was an omega shop though, not sure if you're referring to the same one.

etp095 · 12 April 2011, 04:56 AM

I'd be willing to do a GTC,city or burbs is cool with me.

The Omega boutique has opened for a few month now. The Rolex boutique is opening about 6-7 blocks south from Omega. Its literally next to the Cartier store. Its suppose to open in Spring of 2011... which should be any day now.

I am aware of the Omega Boutique, I have been there. No this is the new Rolex Boutique or AD due to open sometime in the Spring.

Hey, could you send me what you're talking about?

If a solid date is put down, I may be able to work out a quick trip.

Thanks!

qualizon · 18 April 2011, 01:25 PM

Just pass by the rolex boutique (right next to cartier) mentioned above , it's still not open yet.

Usually what can a rolex boutique do if we agree on a GTG with them?

Lion · 19 April 2011, 08:28 AM

Please let me know when and where for a GTG and whether I have to wear bells on my toes!!!
