Life was easier back then. I organized a vintage Rolex GTG at home in 2009, with the help of my local watchmaker. Since I already knew of a number regional TRF members from previous GTGs I thought it had a chance for good attendance. My watchmaker said he would invite his collector friends as well.

That got me to thinking about safety & security. I called my watchmaker indicating my concern and he said he already hired security for the event. It's a shame but necessary in todays world.

Although every GTG I've attended or organized turned out to be thoroughly enjoyable events, I'm not sure I'd want to deal with all the responsibility. Which is why you see smaller and smaller GTGs of late. Those are just as fun too.
