Fun TRF GTG @ Mayors In Tampa Dec 9 2024 (Warning: Pic Heavy !!!)

[enjoythemusic]

After much anticipation, today the vastly larger Mayors (owned by WoS) opened and we had a fun TRF GTG (see this thread https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=965377 ). It was great meeting Onequik135i and dnd2984, plus our fave sales-dude Nick, Abbe, and everyone.

Imho Mayors did a wonderful and impressive overall layout / buildout of the space, with brands clearly having their area. Thankfully, good use of video screens with balance (read: not being overly annoying, flashy, or 'commanding' visually). Decor is simple elegance, with tasteful bits highlighted within various nooks / etc.

Nick kindly gave me a private tour of each VIP room (they have a few) and must say, YES, this is what a luxurious experience should be (imho). Within the main store area, there are various-sized 'meeting spaces', which give a place to gather... perhaps savor a fresh-made coffee and talk (no big whoop :) ).

Many exhibition and pre-loved Rolexs, and most important of all meeting and chatting with passionate TRF members and Nick / Abbe / etc at Mayors. While of course there was no inventory of Rolex other than a DJ... who cares when there were many excllent brands and timepieces available. The red dial H. Moser Pioneer blew me away! i already know the movement as it is within the Heratige I wear from time to time, but that red dial truly has to be seen in person. Can't get a Rolex, here's an excellent choice with impressive precision mechanical movement, 120m waterproofness, etc.

Of course U.N. Freaks, Zenith geeks, and fun Wolf tweaks... plus Cartier were all there. Great selection of Cartier pieces too! Hey, if you can't get a Rolex, a Cartier for yourself or the wife... or share a Tank, is an excellent choice too.

What really, REALLY matters was seeing everyone and having great conversations together. Wait, I kinda said that earlier. Hmmm...

One thing is for sure, we really need to have a monthly or bi-yearly Central FL TRF GTG. Maybe in Naples, or Lakewood Ranch, or once again at Mayors in Tampa. Thanks guys for stopping by this eve and let's do this again

With all that said, hopefully, all my words gave time for the pics to download on your device. As always... enjoy your time
