Something to consider if many will be flying internationally to the GTG - maybe a city with many direct flights and a good Customs facility for easy clearance.

I am in! I had voted for Vegas only because it was an easy choice.
I think we take this to Mexico. Between all of us here, we probably have a large enough selection of watches, and the areas Gerardo may know we may have a memorable tour. Who knows, we may have some celebrity watch people show up....or not!

If that doesn't work, I will go with Majority (or whatever Steve chooses).

Looking forward to the second year of this GTG

It might be a good idea to have two seperate get togethers. One in North America and one in Asia. Europe already seems to be having some in the UK and Belgium.

For some members in North America traveling to Asia is not practical for them and vice versa. Just a thought. Or course members from both areas would be welcomed to attend either or both.

April next year is better than Feb for me. I'd come all the way from Aussie to go to Florida or New Orleans but Hong Kong is central as Adam has pointed out.
A lot of trusted sellers and trf members seem to be in Florida though.

I want to change my vote G, I originally voted for "Another venue is my choice" but I want to switch it back to Vegas. Hard to beat Vegas for the open attitude towards groups socializing combined with the watch boutiques and wrist peeping, it really is hard to beat. I've been more than a few times, a lot of you have as well but if you're going to make a trip out of it you need a real destination with other things going on. So I'm switching my vote to Vegas!

Plus the fact that Vegas is almost neck and neck with any other place in the world is pretty telling... in one hand you have Vegas, the other, you have the world, and people are pretty much split. That tells me that most people agree Vegas is the place and those that don't, won't be that upset if they have to go to Vegas. JMHO

I second this thought process!

What do you guys do for a G2G of a grand scale like this? Hang out together for days at the casino or going clubbing? How was the last one, I'm curious since Vegas is close to me.
