Rolex, AP/Tudor, Vacheron, IWC, GO, Cartier, Hublot, Tourneau, FL, Panerai, Blanc. They were expecting us at Breguet and Omega, but couldn't make it.

As pointed by Danny, we have to do RM next year!

I have plans to attend, but won't book airfare until March. The only thing that will keep me away is if my plans/schedule are changed for me (ie. by the boss).

Hi Guys,
I'm seriously considering flying over to Vegas for this meet
But since it's a long flight from Amsterdam and I cant fly directly to Vegas i'd have to go trough Los Angeles (airline employee discount doesnt allow me to transfer so I can only fly direct with KLM) and maybe drive there.. Could be a great couple of nights on the town.

But then again I'm not quite sure if i'd fit in.. Being just 22 years old and not especially gifted with an great cash-flow at the momemt.
I do love Vegas though

What do you guys think, is this GTG fun for me? (on a limited budget after the sub purchase)

Kind regards,
Arjan

Well...Here is the real deal: the Vegas GTG is a group of watch aficionados from ALL ages, some own one Rolex, some 5, 10 or more. No one judges members for age or economics, after all we proposed Vegas because of that precisely. Some will stay in a $50/night place, some at $1,000/night. To the TRF family, we do not care! We are there to talk watches and have a great time, either with beer or champagne.

Would love to have you as part of the group!

Wow there's more response then I expected :)
I'm working hard to gather the funds needed to go, count me in so far!

PM me, would love to have a chat before flying out.
Also if you have tips on how to save some cash on hotel or activities

p.s. Will you include Amsterdam with a red star on the map?

I assume you would be on KLM flight 601 so you would arrive around 11:30am. You could always take a Southwest (southwest.com) flight out of LAX to LAS instead of driving. It's about a 45 minute flight and less hassle for you since you might not feel like driving 4 hours after a long flight.

Hey that's my Birthday, it would be pretty sick to spend it on Vegas with a bunch of esteemed WIS! I won't be able to attend, however I'm sure that it will be a blast and I'm already looking forward to pics!
