Sacramento/Roseville watch meet up?

Hello!
I am wondering if there is enough interest to have a get together to geek out over our watches, share stories, share what our next addition to the collection will be, etc. I'm thinking some beer & food!! If interested add an
"I'm in" and we can dial (pun intended) in the date & location!

Just read this post now. I'm in Elk Grove and would be interested if anyone else in the Sacramento area would like to go. Lets make this a bigger group!

Great to hear someone is interested! This post has had over 300 views! I知 thinking of going to the SF Bay Area meet up, since there seems to be literally no interest in the Sac area which is hard to believe.

It's normal. Members tend to be cautious about new guys wanting to set up get togethers. Just security concerns is all.

Don, just PM me details about a possible Sacramento GTG in the future. Won't be able to make the Bay Area GTG unfortunately since I was just there and don't have the free time to make another trip so soon.

I've been a TRF member for 12 years and a watch enthusiast for for almost 20 years now and still have never been to a single GTG..

2 that are highly recommended:

https://www.yelp.com/biz/giovanni-pa...-san-francisco

http://www.usaworldtime.com/

Feel free to cross reference Yelp and or boards, but I've used both. If you're in Sac/Roseville, its a good 2 hour drive from you.
