For all of you who do not know...

...

we will have a GTG here in Kentucky, Louisville May 14th...

So Stan and I went to an AD here in Louisville to see if we could visit them on that day!

We went to Merkley Kendrick Jewelers and found a great sales person to welcome us. Wes is a very nice guy and also very knowledgeable...he even knew our forum and stated he is lurking around and reading to learn more about Rolex. He owns one himself.

Brian, the owner, said the would like to host our meeting...

So now, since it is getting close, please let me know who would like to attend...

Some pictures I took: This clock looked soooo good, Stan wanted to take a closer look at it...

MerkleyKendrick 0309.jpg

He was surprised how heavy "the real thing is"...

And here a close look:

This is the watch I want to buy, since it is smiling at me for a long time and it will happen very soon:

I am looking forward to meet a lot of you guys May 14th here in Louisville!!! Great times

Dan, "unclesallie", has a VIP service scheduled with me already

...you are in...work would be an excuse we do not want to hear

We count on you

tudorman8276 · 26 March 2009, 02:21 AM

...had another GREAT time, together at the AD.

...I think we were in there about 3 hours!

...FYI, these wall clocks ARE the "real mccoy"...

They allowed me to "fondle" it and examine the quartz mvmt! HOW NEAT is that!

...as Fred has, said, they are hosting our GTG on 14 May. They are planning to have "spirits" for those of you, DanP, UncleS, etc, to partake of! For us NON-drinkers, they will have the COFFEE pot plugged in and ready!

...I truly hope that several of us can GTG for the best part of the day and enjoy some comaradre and good food!

...and of course, a LOT of talk about our hobby that we enjoy so much.

...be CERTAIN to bring your collections with you so we can share info etc!

...can't wait!!!

Stan.

Latrodectus · 26 March 2009, 03:32 AM

...any food suggestions???

sunburst · 26 March 2009, 03:34 AM

My office is just 10~15 minutes from Merkley Kendrick. I should be ok as long as no unexpected work travel (which I do a lot).
