Dubai - Let's Get Together!

Dubai watch enthusiasts - I know you are out there - locals and expats - let's get together to share our passion for watches. I started a new thread since there were previous attempts, but according to my knowledge, never materialized. I leave it on the experts to find good venue...

Let’s move this thing forward; I am proposing to meet at Double Decker Pub in Roda Al Murooj hotel (opposite of Dubai Mall) on Wednesday 24 October at 6pm. This should give us enough time to make this work.

Many thanks to VintageVagabound for coming to our first Dubai event. We had a great evening discussing our collections and I learned a lot about local retailers, service centers, and various watch brands/models worth collecting.

I will try to organize another event, welcome suggestions for venue.

I think it’s just about getting enough people together. If enough people commit then we can just pick the place and time.

Hey everyone,

I'd be keen on this as well.

If we get a nice group then could find a nice bar to meet at?

I'm thinking Rolex chat and nice whiskey (if everyone is happy meeting in a alcohol selling establishment)

Dear Dubai based TRF members, Hope your all having a great day.

Seeing as to how there are quite a few of you interested in meeting in Dubai, I decided to get in touch with fellow DXB based members, to organize a meet up over a some coffee.

I've PM messaged quite a few of you ladies and gents. To anyone else who would be interested, please reply to me in PM or here.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Hello,
I’m coming to Dubai from 10th to 15th April so if a GTG is organised then I’ll be interested in meeting up.
