I work in a hotel in a chicago suburb and was wondering if there might be an interest in possibly doing a little show or gathering in the hotel. I would be able to get us a good deal on the sleeping rooms and meeting rooms. Maybe we could get some dealers to come in or we could set up some booths if people want to sell/trade some watches.....Any thoughts????

Which suburbs and what hotel? I used to live in Chitown and often visit to see family.

unclbeny · 28 August 2009, 08:41 AM

It's the Hilton Garden Inn in Addison...

Nice place!

unclbeny · 28 August 2009, 08:53 AM

I'd like to come up if I could find a local selling a blue face submariner 04-07 model.

I'd be down... though I must admit, I am a platinum member with Marriott...

I brought this one up a little while ago and just don't have the time to plan it. I'm in just let me know the details.

Time permitting, I'd come visit. I wouldn't want a room, though, I'd just drive home.

With suburban hotels the locale is also important. In many of these suburban hotels (like near the airports) all you have are hotels and their hotel bars. And the eateries have a varying quality ranging from crappy and expensive to pretty nice and expensive.

I am interested as I live downtown. Also looking to sell a GMTIIc in SS.

I would certainly consider coming. As a new collector, it would be a good learning experience for me.
