Any of you guys around on the 29th or 30th for a GTG?

Cheers,

Eric

Hi Eric, I am around. Would be good to see some faces in Hong Kong after relocating here.

inspires · 27 April 2012, 01:27 AM

Anyone else? I'm available on the 29th or 30th.

No worries Eric.

Here are some pics from a HK GTG with Tom & Aaron last year.

Ricco · 27 April 2012, 02:34 PM

Somewhere around CWB will be convenient, at least for me. =D
I'll be staying around Parklane Hotel.

Let's see which day works for everyone. TST has most of the Grey Dealers.

Ricco · 28 April 2012, 12:35 AM

I see a window of time, 29 evening. I hope a place is decided soon as I'll be leaving tomorrow night with no access to Internet once the plane take off.

chichow · 28 April 2012, 01:17 AM

When and where?

TST or Island side?

And not to thread jack - since I need to have my Rolex serviced - any suggestions for trusted independent watch service shops in Hong Kong?

I can do either TST or the Island. If we want to go window shopping TST would be preferred.

I'm looking at Monday afternoon for the GTG...you guys available Monday for lunch?

Eric

chichow · 28 April 2012, 10:34 PM

I can do Sunday generally.

Monday is 5p + for me.

Sending you PM

inspires · 29 April 2012, 02:02 AM

Hi Guys,

I have two options as my travel schedule has changed:

Sunday, April 29 - After Dinner Drinks
Monday, April 30 - Lunch @ TST and then some window shopping

I've sent a PM to some members that came out last time and await their reply. So far only 5 of us?!?!?! There's got to be presence in HKG!

Please let me know what you all prefer.

Cheers,

Eric

Thanks man. It's 1:00 AM and I just got home. I spent 7 hours in Sanya Airport which does not have AC!

Let's try for tomorrow. I will send you guys a text later.

Dad just returned yesterday from Guangzhou trade fair, 5 hr delay at the airport, all shops at the airport were closed by 10pm.
That's why I always travel via HK.

bcacncnc · 30 April 2012, 10:16 AM

Hey guys. What's the latest on lunch today. If its still on I'll see if I can pop over. It's still a work day for me

chichow · 30 April 2012, 09:58 PM

Nice to see: bcacncnc rico inspires

rico: let us know if public congrats are in order and if there are any photos forthcoming

chichow · 1 May 2012, 02:57 AM

Today's USD HKD rate was 1 USD to 7.75 HKD
Shop was offering rate of 1 USD to 7.73 HKD

If you had a Hang Seng Bank Account, Hang Seng Bank would take exchange USD from your US dollar account to your your Hong Kong dollar account at a rate 1 USD to 7.746

Difference = 7.746 - 7.73 = .016 = 1.6%

Savings = ~70,000 x 1.6% = 1120 HKD

How much was lunch? :)
