This is the second year in a row. Completely unacceptable. I'm going to start a petition for everyone to sign and say that you NEED a new watch and will be given the green light to get one at the 2019 GTG.

Thanks to everyone who made it such a great weekend. Enjoyed meeting the new guys and gals, the only problem is its too short and busy to get to spend time with everyone you want to.

The weekend was a blast, I have not laughed that much in a long time!!

a BIG Thanks of course to G for the countless hours of hard work he puts in. It is much appreciated. And thanks to Trace for the kick off bash and DeeTee for the wrap up.

Already looking forward to 2019!

Gerardo, what else can be said that has net already been said. A sincere thank you for all of your efforts in making LV GTG a wonderful experience. I had such a great time seeing and talking watches, but even more so spending some time chatting and enjoying a nice meal with you!

This past weekend was a blast but I wish I arrived on Thursday for Trace’s bash!

Thanks to Mark for all of the wines and making me feel welcomed. It was fun to put faces to all these screen names I see everyday! Also thanks to DeeTee and lovely wife for the grub on Saturday! Lastly, thanks to Steve and Scott (and their lovely wives) for the laughs and good times!

When do we start booking for 2019?

An amazing weekend! Just getting home.
Met some great new friends(you guys know who you are!)and enjoyed hanging with others again. Special thanks to Mark Runnin'Rebel!
Also to Trace and Dee Tee for their generosity and friendship!

The Therapy Group...always great to see you guys and wives.

Most of all,THANK YOU to Mi Hermano,Gerardo!

You have created this monster. I know how much you put into this.

You are appreciated by so many.

If you haven't been to the LV GTG,read the thread. It is amazing.

If you have young children,still teach them not to meet strangers from the internet!
But it seemed to work out pretty good for the attendees!

77T · 1 May 2018, 11:01 AM

The efforts spread out for the year show in the posts here. G, you did a great job!

I can tell even though I was not there.

I wasn't crazy about the Breguet, but I did like that AP. Just a little too much for me to spend, Phil.

I really loved the AP as well. Maybe next year we go halfsies?

After a great diner and tour of old Las Vegas, we are home safely. Thank Gerardo for all the effort to bring us together again. We had a great time, so many laughs with friends from last year and new friends from this year. We are eagerly waiting for next year’s 5th Anniversary. See you all real soon!

So much to say but I’d like to keep it short.

Great time
Great people
Great memories

We’re all different people from all parts of life, who would probably never run into each other. Yet our love of quality timepieces brought us all together and we all made some new friends and hopefully new fun stories to come.

Eric, it would be a pleasure for me, to meet you personaly

In 2019 my wife and I will join the Vegas GTG for sure

and we will do the long journey to vegas for the tenth time. Our Honeymoon was in 1990, also in vegas.

So G, I need the date for 2019 to book my flight

GerardoG · 2 May 2018, 12:06 AM

Tuesday morning........

I flew back yesterday afternoon after one of the most exciting and FUN weekends I have had. Sharing laughs, meeting old and new friends, enjoying fine watchmaking, food and cigars...to me an epic weekend.

First of all, I would like to thank YOU, attendees, for trusting me once again and sharing several days with us.

Thank you also, to everyone at Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Cartier, Deutsch & Deutsch, Ernst Benz (Leonid: being the CEO and flying down to meet with us....epic!), Everest Bands, Rolex, Wrist Clean and The Atrium; we all learned from you and came back with an incredible amount of presents.

A very special THANK YOU to (alphabetical order):

-Dee Tee: had a great time at the Encore, beautiful setting!

-Mark: Mr. Wine! Speechless, Mark. Your generosity is unique!

-Trace: what can I say...W O W! It was THE way to kick off Vegas! This will be the talk for a long time with friends! GRACIAS!!!!!!

Today I feel very happy and exhausted; fortunately it is a holiday here so I can recharge for a day. Time to sit down, evaluate Vegas '18 and......start planning for 2019 (yes, talks about this started Sunday morning). I also need to catch up on TRF, as I have not followed for the last few days.

My friends: see you soon!

encarter13 · 2 May 2018, 05:16 AM

I have to figure out a way to make it out there next year! Looks like a great time was had by all!

Great meeting you btw. :)
I was still thinking about the Breguet world time.

Ed
ps. Feels like talking to myself...
