Any Interest In GTG In Philly Jersey Area

Wanted to gauge potential interest in a GTG in Philly Jersey Area.

Saw that there were a few older posts but doesnt look anything came out of it. Would be cool to meet up with a bunch of fellow watch nuts. Could meet at a bar/restaurant, cigar lounge, billiards lounge etc.

Figure maybe something in August or September.

My August and September are usually really busy with traveling, but if the gtg date works I'll be there for sure.

Ha the nato on the GMT II is one of my favs. Lets see if we can get a decent raise of hands and move forward with a date etc. Would a night during the weekend or weekday be better? I would think a weeknight would be best as to interfere less w schedules etc.

Just sent out a bunch of private messages to alot of the users that responded to Philly NJ posts before. Hopefully we can get some real interest here and get this moving forward.

Let's do it!

August 1st. La Buca restaurant (between 8th & 7th on Locust). Start at 7pm. Stay until whenever you want. If enough people come they have a back room we can use.

I am open to any other suggestions of place, date & time.

Who is in?

Tagged for interest!

Friday/Saturday/Sunday GTGs work.

August is already very busy, but we will see what we will see.

September works, except for the first weekend because of a Bucco's ball game.



OH, Philly area for less travel distance from The Burgh, if at all possible.
