Had a nice chat with Gerardo via Skype and through the process of his working to get the next TRF Get Together well.. together we have noticed that..

There has been a really great response and a lot of interest by many to attend. However for some members in Asia they may be unable to make a North American GTG. As well for some in North/Central/South America they may not be able to make an Asia GTG if it polled out as the place to have it.

With that in mind we thought it would be a good idea to have two. One in North America as per Gerardo's poll and one in Asia via this poll. Of course all members are welcome to attend either or both regardless of where you live.

So I have narrowed down the choices for the Asia GTG to three based upon the responses I have seen so far.

1. Hong Kong
2. Tokyo
3. Bangkok

I will keep the poll open for a month. Once we have decided on a location the time and date will be worked out.

Cheers all. Let's do this!

Tom

GerardoG · 23 August 2015, 02:18 PM

t was nice talking to you, and thank you for working on the Asia GTG! I am sure any of the options will be a great place!!!

So there you go TRF, TWO options in 2016

Not sure Mark. We can all work that out after we choose a location. Did you cast your vote?

malarky_hk · 23 August 2015, 11:56 PM

Haven't voted yet. HK would be the easiest for me but I was looking for an excuse to go to Tokyo.

I think with the weak yen and 8% tax refund combined with the great shopping there it would be a good place for the GTG especially if members are flying in and looking to buy.

Gaijin · 24 August 2015, 04:56 AM

To our fellow members in Europe we don't want you to feel slighted. We just felt that the recent UK and Belgium GTGs have been rolling along well. Great excuse for you to come to Asia or North America. Or both.

Oh boy!! How exciting could this be. I've never been to the Asian continent

Bangkok for me.

Gaijin · 24 August 2015, 04:18 PM

Tokyo is on the board and Bangkok is picking up steam. Lets keep the votes coming. Poll closes in about 3 1/2 weeks.

jsft98 · 25 August 2015, 12:23 AM

Any of the 3 will be good :)
I'm in HK, but I'd like to go back to Tokyo for some nice watch sightseeing or to BKK for some nice food!

Gaijin · 27 August 2015, 10:12 AM

Hong Kong seems to be running away with this.. Get your votes in !

GerardoG · 27 August 2015, 10:52 AM

TRFers: you have TWO great opportunities for impressive GTG's in 2016!!!! Can't make up your mind? You can attend BOTH!

We are waiting for your vote!!!

Tie-Land it is! Bangkok tends to be a more affordable city than Tokyo or HK.

Plus, the diving in that neighborhood is excellent for those that enjoy blowing bubbles.

Gaijin · 28 August 2015, 12:55 AM

Ok Tokyo and Bangkok are picking up steam. This is gonna come down to the wire. Though I voted of course all options work for me. Tokyo, close. Tons of rolex shops and get to drink beer with Otto again.

Hong Kong. Tons of rolex shops. Never been there and would love to see it. Get to drink beer with Mark again and meet Adam.

Bangkok. Now that could be a wild get together. Great food and cheap cold beer.

There is a theme here... Cold beer!

That's what I wanna hear! Motivated for one of the spots in the poll. Thailand is picking up speed.

GerardoG · 29 August 2015, 12:04 AM

...do you have watch-plans for 2016? Want to do something exciting, talk and see watches with fellow TRFers? You have TWO GREAT opportunities!!!!!!

Rockrolex · 29 August 2015, 12:10 AM

Sorry, guys. I could not make an Asian GTG. But I probably can do an American GTG.

zama · 29 August 2015, 09:12 PM

All are comparable distance from Australia, I voted Tokyo only because I have spent less time there and my wife wants to go to Tokyo Disneyland for some reason, which is a reason for me to go and tour the more important parts of Japan and hopefully time it with a grand sumo tournament.

Will do my best to make which ever vote comes in.

Aaaatta boy Craig! Looking forward to meeting you. We'll get it all worked out!

Gaijin · 1 September 2015, 11:28 PM

Gaijin · 4 September 2015, 12:29 AM

So far it is Hong Kong in the lead..

GerardoG · 6 September 2015, 01:18 AM

Planning to have a great time in 2016? Meeting TRFers in one of the GTG's is THE way to do it!

Gaijin · 7 September 2015, 01:02 PM

This poll will close September 22nd.

jw0n · 7 September 2015, 02:19 PM

+1 for BKK :-)

Angrypuppy · 11 September 2015, 09:24 AM

Do you have a rough idea on dates?

I can nonrev to Toykyo or HK out of my homeown easily. Maybe I can make both GTGs.

I'm going to abstain from voting as its only 50/50 if I would be able to attend.
