Just got back, wow. Great exhibit but the line is long, very crowded and lots of people who have no idea why they are there.... - didn't feel very PP. I think if you are not wearing a watch, you should not be allowed in!

The crowds really hurt my experience -The exhibit felt like one long line.

Lighting was bad making it very difficult to capture a lot of the cool things they had on display.

Lots of watch enthusiastists wearing some very cool watches!

Overall, great show! Super learning experience - highly recommend it- but go at an off peak time.

The exhibit was really a comprehensive exhibit. The work stations, the historic pieces, the complete current line of watches (yes, I am getting one), and the venue were all top notch. Even the Aquanaut silicon strap wrist bands for attendees was a nice souvenir. Not sure if they were given to everybody but they were given out at the VIP entrance.

Sorry I could not stay for the meet up on Saturday but I flew in and out on Thursday just for the day. Like I said, Patek really put some time, money, and effort into the exhibit and it showed.
