They had the first issue DAY-DATE which dates back to '56, and lots of other very sought after pieces. The place really has a great atmosphere and the staff is very nice. They are getting an on-site ROLEX trained tech next week. Thanks, Randy

You had NAD at the GTG?! He just might be the most spirited person you'll find in this hobby. A big contributor on Paneristi, as well as on the IWC & Hublot forums. What a great guy!
And Matt Kursman as well. Big-time participant on Timezone, one of the few people I know who has never sold a watch. So he's got a very wide-range collection....IWC, Hublot, Rolex, Vacheron, etc. Such a nice guy! Thank you so much for the post. Looks like a fantastic time.

Looks like a great occasion was had for sure
I like the 1655 and 1665 (double red)   I wish I could have been there maybe next time So did you go to a restaurant for a bite after the show? Thanks for the photos, almost felt like I was there myself.
