I'll reach out to him and see what he is thinking...

Gentleman, I have reached out to our own local Watch blog (watch Collecting Lifestyle) I know he is looking to do a post Basel review at a local establishment. He will let me know soon. I need to confirm about the 12 as I know many on this thread will be in the city that day. If anything at all lets get a head count for the 12 and if we need to meet twice that month then great!!!

Gentlemen, I have received very few PMs to make sure I can organize and sponsor the GTG. I'll think about Quartino's as I had already other fine place in mind. Please PM with your email so I can start the headcount accurately. Thanks.

Yes, thank you, I just received the email and have RSVP'd. Looking forward to it and to meeting everyone.

P.S., we should probably discontinue this thread and start a new one in appreciation of Submarino and Watch Collecting Lifestyle sponsoring the GTG.

Unfortunately, I can't make it now, doctor's orders.

Gotta stay off my foot for 2 more weeks, one week too many for this GTG. :(

Thanks to the guys who set it up, though. I know there's some time and effort involved to put a GTG together.

Was looking forward to this. I hope next time I'm ready and able.

That's a great idea. Thanks to all of you that RSVPd. Unfortunately for those that didn't RSVPd on time we will be hosting another GTG courtesy of Watch Collecting Lifestyle during the Summer. Unfortunately at this point the head count is completed and place booked. Please keep all information about the place confidential for security reasons. Let's start a new thread and see you guys on Saturday. I will bring some goodies for all of you.

Leo, we sent the invite to the email address you provided and we never heard back with an RSVP by the deadline as we had to book a special room for the GTG and the space was limited to 10 people. If there are any last minute cancellations I will contact you with details so you can join.

Thank you for your correspondence and enjoy yourself along with everyone else tomorrow at the GTG...I have already made alternate plans for Saturday to spend the day with my wife at the Chicago Botanic Gardens.....
