The Ultimate Watches&Sauna Experience in Finland, on August 2019
Here it goes:
After my first and latest international watch-event experience I started to think that things could be done in a very different way. I want to offer you, my fellow watch-freaks, something very unique. I am combining here two of my passions: Watches&Sauna. This is first time ever event in Finland: The Ultimate Watches&Sauna Experience in Finland. Where? In Finland, Helsinki; one of the most beautiful places on Earth with the happiest people around. When? Friday, August 30th and Saturday, August 31st 2019. The rough Schedule is: 30th of August: 10:00am to 12:00 First gathering 12:00pm to 14:00 Lunch 14:00 to 16:00 Second gathering 19:00 to 21:00 Dinner 31st of August: 14:00 to 16:00 Third gathering 20:00 to 0:00 The Ultimate Finnish Sauna Experience Why? For the love of watches&saunas; let us watch-lovers unite! What happens? I will guide you through the watch stores/departments in Finland: Rolex, Grand Seiko, Omega, Glashütte, Sarpaneva and many more; maby a possible glimpse of Kari Voutilainen -watches aswell. These stores in Finland might feel small to many of you, but there are plenty of passionate watch lovers working in these stores. I will show you the best& the most interesting restaurants in Finland where we can share our thoughts. One of the highlights of this event is to experience traditional Finnish Sauna on Saturday evening by the sea. This private sauna event will be at the Finnish Sauna Society—one of the best saunas in the world. Link to the website: https://www.sauna.fi/in-english/ The final schedule will be clear at the end of May 2019. How much? This event is 100% free; no expensive tickets, no payments, nothing. For free. You will pay yourself for your traveling expenses, accommodation, dinners, lunches and drinks. But the participating the actual event and the sauna-experience is free of charge. Actually my company offers a 20€ donation/each participant for Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation. The more participants, the more money Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation will get from my company. Link here: https://www.luonnonperintosaatio.fi/en/english/about-us This is called Finnish hospitality. PM me if you want to attend. All kind of comments&questions regarding to this event are allowed.

Finland is definitely on our travel list of places we have not yet been. If we don't make this GTG we will look you up when we go there!

Sweaty men in speedos in a sauna wearing Wilsdorf clan watches....nothing weird about that.....unless one is wearing a Wilsdorf clan watch on a leather/reptile strap.....that is weird.
If Finland was in easy driving distance from my pad in California I’d be there....with my leopard print speedos!

Living in Florida, the thought of going half way around the world to sweat more is not appealing. Hard pass. Good luck on your venture.

I had the same thought coming from Arkansas, but figured I would wear my dry suit to make it work.
