Guys, do you think we may have some space shortage for 8-10 watch nuts at Waves coffee?

It may be a little late and too confusing to change locations now. Once we pile in then we can decide from there if we need to relocate as a group. I read that they have meeting room space so let's ride it out. I submit!

I agree. Let's just go with the plan and see what happens. Reading the posts from previous years, it would seem as if it was problematic getting everyone together. It finally looks like it will happen this time.

Hello fellow Vancouverites!
This sounds like a lot of fun, if you guys don't mind a newcomer to the Rolex world.

Ok Comrades. I agree with you. Let's gather there, and we will see what can be done best.

I'm excited to see many Comrades of mine together!

Thanks Thomas. Waves should be able to fit 10 people from what I remember as I used to live in that area of Vancouver. Looking forward to this Saturday!

Thanks again for calling Waves to set aside a table for tomorrow evening. I may be a little late as my kids usually go to bed around 8pm. Will do my best to get them to bed early. Don't want to miss this GTG.

Thanks to all who showed up tonight! It was nice meeting all of you. Hope we can do it again sometime.

Special thanks to Thomas for contacting the coffee house to set aside the table and to Captain Serdal for allowing me to photograph his GMT Master II Pepsi with my GMT Master II BLNR. See below!
