Swiss Fest

For those of you that may be interested, just a reminder that Thursday,Sept. 28th. One of the local ADs in the Columbus Ohio area will be having a "SWISS FEST" event.
This event will be held at the Jared's Galleria of jewelry located on Polaris parkway in Columbus.
I believe there are several members that are Ohio natives and a few that are not that far off.
I've spoken to the staff and they are expecting a great turn out with several brands represented.
Among the brands that will be showing off there wares and have reps. present are:
Omega--bringing the new co-axial Bond series along with several variations of the Planet Ocean--possibly the chrono version.
Tissot,Tag,Rado,Accutron, Maurice Lacroix -- whom I am told will be bringing a selection of vintage movement pieces, and of course, Rolex.
Rolex is said to be suppling several of the harder to obtain pieces.
Additionally watchmakers will be conducting free "10 point " inspections including replacement of gaskets,regulation,WR testing etc....

If anyone is interested I think this will be a fun time and a great chance to speak to the various reps and see watches that normally we don'tget the chance to "fondle" LOL!

Thanks for the update, Mike. Are we allowed to "fondle" only the watches?
