North Jersey Meetup

[Orata]

Fellow timepiece connoisseurs; I have decided that it would be a great opportunity to meet individuals in my area by starting a monthly meet up. I always enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories.

My idea is once a month on a Saturday morning, interested individuals get together at a restaurant for breakfast or brunch. We will try to pick a new location every month to meet. During the brunch, we will exchange stories and share with each other a glimpse into our personal lives. Every meeting after, we would each bring a friend that may be interested in the group.

Obviously, many discussions will be focused around watches and timepieces, however I believe once we get acquainted with one another, we will be able to open up the conversations more! This is a fantastic way (especially for you extroverts) to meet new people and form new social groups and relationships.

I would love for anyone interested to pm me or respond to this post so that I can get right on putting together a more formal plan. Once I have a general idea of how many people are interested, we can discuss dates, times, and locations!

Eager to see the responses and I welcome any and all feedback!

Nobody is interested in face to face interactions??

[Orata]

How about a local referral network group, centered around our love for watches?

[Magwitch]

The problem is that people are too wrapped up in their stinking Facebook and (anti) social media to engage in true personal contact.

[superdog]

I'm in.

[Orata]

I have to agree Magwitch. That's why I am here trying to break the trends!

I "grew up" in Livingston and went to Rutgers. Were I still in NJ I'd certainly do a GT. Unfortunately I cannot travel due to disability.

I'm in Westchester NY and would be in. Saturday mornings are a no go for me. I would be in for a Weekday evening after work like 7ish.

[Orata]

watchflair how far are you willing to travel?

[Jimbogigolo]

Hi, I'm in NJ as well.

I was actually wondering where the watch enthusiasts are of NJ... Whenever I go to my AD it seems like they always have limited stock (I'm assuming people are always buying) but I feel like I never see anyone wear Rolex or other brands...

[AJM914]

I could be interested as well depending on dates and times

[HobokenRolex]

I'm in Hoboken. Could be in, too, depending on the day/time.

[Jimbogigolo]

Hoping for a weekend schedule...

I'm in central jersey but would really like to meet up with some TRF members depends on day and time.

Not everyone is on a forum. Use something like Meet Up to set up something.

Any update on this? What part of Jersey are we considering?

[Jimbogigolo]

Should be north NJ as there are more specialty restaurants here. I specifically suggest Montclair or Hoboken, NJ.

Can someone organize it, please?

Sorry folks been busy. I like the Hoboken idea. That's about an hour or so from me. Weekends also sound best for most? Here's the plan. I will post my number. Those interested shoot me a text and I will create a group chat with everyone so that we can all communicate! My number is 908-887-4469.
