The International Watch Collectors Society is holding a watch show on 10 and 11 April 2010.

The location is in Miami Florida, sounds like a great place for a relaxing good time.

EXCLUSIVELY and very kindly the IWCS has made an offer to TRF members: they will be granted FREE ENTRY to the show (saving $15 entry fee).

To get free entry to the show you will need to post in this thread your intention to attend.

There will be a watchmaking class at the show too, and those interested can enrol before hand: http://www.fwca.info/

Please indicate your preference of day either the 10th or 11th. After the show it is usual to go somewhere for refreshments and sustenance.

If enough people indicate their intention to attend we will also have a special TRF area at the show for forum members to meet and socialise.

This will be a great show and can be an awesome GTG so get along and make it happen, you never know unless you GO!!!!!

Oh hell, Oscar. You ain't gonna show up anyway.

Steve, how about stopping by Kentucky as a pre game warmup to the FLA show?

We'd love to have you join us.

The weekends are the times when most people have some time to relax.

Oscar surely if you plan and strategise you can make one weekend 2 weeks henceforth for a couple of hours.

Dan as for Kentucky, that would be great, but I didn't say I was going to the USA at all

Wasn't there another show in Miami this past week? I know one of the dealers I'm in contact with had difficult time with supply because of this event.

Doubt it was us Joe. There were several shows in Florida this January. We are a smaller boutique show.

Rolex forum members are all invited for "free entry" and if enough sign up IWCS will give the group a few tables to hang around, display items or just talk watches.

Florida residents love Rolex watches so we are asking Rolex Forums members to help us spread the word........
