Starbucks is cheaper at the airport than the strip. And they spelled my name right.

Great thread everyone. Next year, "if" it happens, I am in. Too much fun to miss. Gerardo really knows how to throw a GTG!

Anyone know where you can get the foam interior portion (without the rolex logo) of the briefcase in picture? If you have a briefcase you want to use, can you get these made to your dimensions?

The weekend went by way too fast!!! It was an incredible honor meeting these guys and talking watches. A special thank you to Steve aka Returntorolex for teaching me a trick to get my pictures to post upright. Also, Dr. Tom said he was in for next year as long as there is a race track close.

About to head back west.
Thank you Gerardo for putting this together! Although, you may have set the bar too high for any future GTG!
This weekend was incredible with amazing food, great company and more watches than I have ever seen.
Thanks to everyone who attended and it was great to meet everyone!
Can't wait until next year.

As I wait at the airport, I just tried to grab a watch magazine for the flight at the shop, but to no avail. 👎



BUT then it dawned on me, I have plenty of great reading for the flight home! 👍
