2-Sunburst- Joji
3-Mike
4-Vadehat- Joe
5-Latrodectus- Fred

Charlie Cleves has about 5 or 6 clients joining us. So that gives us a total of close to 20.

Ok, here's a brief review:

-Meet at Cleves & Lonneman Jewelers [Bellevue, Ky]: http://www.clevesandlonnemann.com/ @ 12:00 noon on Sat, Oct 17th [and since all our watches are set to the atomic clock ya' better be on time].

-Afterward, we can move just a few blocks west to The Buckhead Grill, located on The Ohio River to continue our vintage GTG [great views and room to spread out].

-Bring vintage examples you think would be of interest to others.

-New/ and or non Rolex brands are welcome as well but the main emphasis will be vintage Rolex.

-Because of the number of pieces, value of each, and number of participants we all need to be respectful and control the urge to grab everything in sight.

Oh, and my Big Block will be ready too!!!!

8 Days to go, guys!!!!!! Can't wait.

Just got back from my watchmaker and picked up my Big Block!! Just in time.

We're all set to go with the VRGTG and working on some finishing touches.
There's a coffee shop next door [forgot the name] and your name tag will get you a great cup of joe, compliments of Charlie Cleves. The Buckhead grill, located on The Ohio River just west of Cleves & Lonneman, has an area set aside a little later for lunch and drinks.
Get your cameras ready. Should be a blast. See y'all on Saturday.

I really wish I could make this meet, but duty calls! I look forward to seeing lots of great pics. I have a feeling they will only make my itch for a vintage piece grow stronger!
