FYI - there is a Las Vegas GTG scheduled 27 Feb - 1 March. Not sure if anyone is planning on making the trip but that could be cause for some conflict. GerardoG is organizing that event. Hopefully some from SoCal could attend.

dcash0615 · 19 January 2015, 01:20 PM

Based on the responses I have received so far, most people are available on Saturday Feb 7th or Feb 28th. I am still waiting for responses from several others. Once I receive more responses I will let everyone know what dates from the original list of dates that work for the most people.

the 28th works for me.

dcash0615 · 26 January 2015, 09:01 AM

Based on the responses, it looks like Saturday, February 28th works best for the most number of people. We will meet at 2PM at a location in Orange County. I will follow up with the location in February.

I will be sending out an update in the next few days. We are still meeting on 2/28 at 2pm. I plan to set up the meeting at a restaurant near South Coast Plaza.

dcash0615 · 16 February 2015, 02:34 PM

PM's have been sent to each of you that have expressed interest in attending the Orange County GTG. The PM included the location of our GTG on Saturday, February 28th @ 2PM and some other details.

There were a few of you that I could not PM as the system indicated you were not able to receive a PM at this time. Please make room in your PM box as I will try and resend you the GTG information this week.

I went from La Royal to Pledge, so I lost a lot of PM space. I just cleared it. Would you please send me another PM.

dcash0615 · 22 February 2015, 02:28 AM

One week away! We have several attendees confirmed. Let me know if anyone else would like to join us. Send me a PM.

Look forward to seeing everyone and talking watches.

We are all set for this Saturday at 2PM. Same location. I will send out the details again via PM to everyone that has confirmed they are coming. Based on the number of confirmations I have, it should be a good turn out.

Have fun today. We had a blast at the last GTG, but I'm not going to make it.

I'm bummed that I can make it work into my schedule today. My wife and I are expecting and trying to finish our nursery this weekend.

Take some great pictures.

Dave,
Thank you for going through the effort of setting this up. I truly enjoyed the conversations and company!
I am sorry so many people flaked out, but it didn't ruin my experience!

Plastique999 · 1 March 2015, 07:38 PM

Sorry I missed this one Dave. Thank you for setting it up

We had a small group of 5 that showed up, but this gave each of us the opportunity to get to know everyone better as the group was not too big. We talked watches for 2 hours and had a great time over a light lunch. Thanks to Jesse for picking up the lunch for the entire group.

Totally unexpected! We all owe you at the next GTG.

David, aka 2ar2c1 shared several vintage pieces with us. My personal favorite was the vintage no-date sub.

Our very own Vanessa (TRF watch tech and watchmaker) shared with us her expertise in watch making. She is very passionate about what she does and she truly knows her stuff

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the group as it was educational.

As far as pictures, well we actually forgot to take pictures of the group, but did manage to take a photo of the watches we had on hand.

Kingair · 2 March 2015, 06:20 AM

Thanks for sharing !

At least it brought 5 people together who enjoyed the GTG ;)

GerardoG · 2 March 2015, 06:29 AM

That is nice! As I say, 2 WIS is enough to have a fantastic time!

2ar2c1 · 2 March 2015, 06:29 AM

we had a great time, always a blast to sit and chat watches with other fanatics. thanks to Dave for setting it up and the swag :) His tabletop water test of my divers proved successful, who needs a tester.

I picked up 3 pieces from JOT before the gtg and was able to admire Vanessa's handiwork first-hand: thank you Vanessa.

Happy to meet Jesse and Christian who came down from LA: next time it'll be closer to home, maybe BH. Jesse, you were too generous, thanks. We had fun talking about watches, restoring old cars, Vanessa's training...
there is a very special piece she brought along, maybe someone will spot it.

a few table shots, sorry for the bad shot, tough to focus with a black background.
