I just sent an email out regarding this GTG.
It went to 148 people in total.....so I'm expecting a few more people to join us

If anyone has any alternative suggestions as to the venue then please advise, for example, Golden Century or BBQ King are worthy alternatives.

Sorry Sir, but the giveaway of a brand new Batman GMT Rolex has sold out over a month ago....

There are 350 guys around the world who are absolutely hanging out to find out whether they will be the proud new owner of a Rolex GMT Ceramic Blue/Black.

The giveaway was open to Pledge Members, and there will be another similar giveaway happening before the end of 2017.

So if you are not a 2017 Pledge Member and want to be part of the next giveaway then you need to act quickly.

Getting back to the Sydney GTG this is going to be a very relaxed evening with watch loving people having an amazing evening over dinner!!!

Any watch lover from anywhere in the world is welcome!!!!!!!!!!

Come on

Hi everyone,

I'd love to attend but I'm pretty new to this forum and not sure of the GTG protocol. Can someone enlighten me?

Is there an attendance fee? What are the ground rules? Can I bring someone with me?

Anything else you need to advise a newbie would be appreciated. Thanks.

We meet at a restaurant, we either have a set amount ahead of time, or we divide up the total and pay our share. Yes you are always welcome to bring a friend just make sure the organiser knows how many are attending. Watches and other general things in life are discussed.

Count me in too.

Chat Thai at that time of the night is fairly busy and may require some wait. Great feed to say the least.
