Dearborn, MI WWT show Sept. 10

Is anyone planning to go, sellers or buyers? I've never been to a show, is it worth going? What can I expect?

whats it like, when it opens, it's like when you were a child at a easter
egg hunt! ITS ON!!!!!!!

or another example would be, a great estate sale and when doors
open, do not get in the way

the show is only as good you make it, until you get to know some of
the traders.

i always have a good time as the shows, it will be followed by the
nawcc regional show 9/11-12 two different groups and two different
show styles

wwt show is mostly wristwatches then a few pockets and some parts
etc.etc.

nawcc is a mixture, some shows have more clocks then wristwatches

6/8 of the watches i personally wear came from the shows over time
crispy 79160,94110,1680RED,73yr monaco,70ish ploprof 69 speedie w/
the first watch worn on the moon mark



happy hunting!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks for the info. I'm planning to look for a black mop YM or Daytona. I hope to see an assortment of dials as they do differ in color. If I see one I like , it's on!

I will bring/wear my "old" W series GMT II as a possible trade as I recently bought a GMT IIc. I still like it, so I'm not willing to part with it unless I get a reasonable trade.

I also want to see some antique/vintage watches. I find them quite interesting.

I have since found info. about the nawcc show and it is open to the public on Saturday. I have enough lead time so I hope to go to this one as well. Heck, if I enjoy it, I'll join and help fuel my "sickness".
