Chicago GTG anyone?

Just putting something out there for interest, when it's not freezing cold :)

Let me know dates your thinking of. I'm in the process of starting to possibly move back to my hometown (Chicago) and may be able to make the trip and kill two birds with one stone.

Saturday afternoon and then evening works well for me. Would allow for some watch shopping, drinking and dining and then a leisurely drive home Sunday afternoon.

Are there any Chicago Watch groups that meet with any regularity? I'm new to watches, and am in Chicago (Lincoln Square), and would like to meet more in the community as I grow my collection. None of my immediate friends share the interest, so it's been a lonely hobby :D

Gents I'll throw out two dates March 6 or 20? Please let me know and I will make arrangements. If a date works for you let me know if you need parking. I'll look for a place with valet or a lot.

Gentleman, since we have a lot of interest in the 20. PLEASE PM me if you can make it. Once we have an idea of attendance we can all decide on location and time. Keeping it private also allows for added security.
