Not sure if we can, but maybe a post in the general section? I know there's a TON of people from DC in TRF, but not sure how many of those people browse the GTG sub forum....

I'm still on board though!!!

Put me down as a maybe. I'll try to make it.


FWIW, that place is near the "Archives" stop on the Metro (Green Line). Parking is awful in DC.

I'll need a confirmation at least a couple of days in advance so I can make the reservation.

And will you be bringing anyone if you do come?

The restaurant is actually conveniently located between the Chinatown/Gallery Place exit on the Red/Yellow/Green lines (walk south on 7th Street about 3 blocks) and Archives/Navy Memorial (walk north on 7th Street about 3 blocks).


OK. Who else is coming?

I will likely come alone. I'll let you know in advance when I solidify my plans.


Archives looks a bit closer than Chinatown/GP...

If you get out at the Verizon Center exit (7th & F Sts), it's about the same distance to Oyamel (7th & D Sts) as Archives. 2 blocks either way.

OK, people. Ashley is in town and I need a final head count for Tuesday's GTG at Oyamel. Reservations will be made for 7:00 PM.

OK. Here's the list:

Ashley
Rockrolex (and Mrs. Rockrolex)
Valentine plus 1
TheDude
Yazo

We will either be 7 or 8.

I tried to make a reservation, but they didn't have any available for a party our size. The manager said to come early and we shouldn't have to wait more than 30-45 minutes. I will plan to get there at 6:30 PM and put my name on the waiting list. That should get us a table by 7:30 PM.

See you all tomorrow night.

Sorry, David, I can't make it to York. We have to be in NYC over that weekend and mid-week is out for me. We'll be looking for lots of pics from that GTG as well.

We were a small (6 people) but lively group. The food was good, the drinks were better, and the conversation continuous and stimulating. It's always great to put faces and names to the forum handles. Ironically, three of the four Rolexes at the meet turned out to be GMTs. I GMT-II and 2 GMT-IIc's. What does that tell you about the popularity of that model.

Here is my only contribution to the pics.

Left to right: GMT-IIc; Ladies Oyster; GMT-IIc, Piaget Polo, GMT-II. Notice all the GMTs are black bezel, black dial SS models. Nothing fany, but highly useful watches.

Yes it was. And I hope no one had any contaigous diseases since we all sampled that one taco.

The consensus was that it tasted like very salty chicken strips. Good to try once. Now we can say that we've all eaten grasshopper.

Oh right, grasshopper. As if there is much difference, they are both pretty gross when you think about it!

I'm very sorry I missed this as I was not a member of the forum then.

How about we try and get another one going Rockrolex?
I have no problem taking an active lead on a new DC GTG if you'll assist me.
Shall we?
