I'll come to Tampa anytime with the slightest notice!

I really do miss the place terribly. Of course I told Sean all about it and he thinks I am crazy.

chriseskew24 · 20 April 2009, 02:18 PM

Im sure i could make that happen

Just say when and where. It would be better for me after the end of June (I will be retired then), but I would love it!

Allan......we need to catch up with lunch. Been awhile. BTW... went MAC and best decision I made in a long time !

Hey Mark!

Yes indeed, we DO need to get together again for lunch. And your conversion to Mac is excellent news!!!

PM me with some times that would be good for you for lunch, perhaps in early May, down here in St. Augustine (my turn to host). Great to hear from you, and since you are posting in the Florida GTG thread, perhaps we could double up on a ride when plans are finalized!

Okey Dokey, Jen. As soon as we make plans, I'll let you know when and where.

I assume you are talking about the ride primarily, but lunch is a go as well, if you can make it.

ippon20 · 24 April 2009, 01:05 AM

Allan, your in St. Auggie? Ever eat @ Zaharias (seafood place with the big purple octopuss). Let me know if you ever head over there, my buddy's dad owns it and I'll get you some off menu stuff!

Yes, I do. That sounds great, Dan. Thanks!

I also like the restaurant right across the street from Zaharias, called "Osteen's". It is a longtime local place with LITERALLY the best shrimp in town. Gotta get there early and sit on a bench 30 minutes before it opens to get a table!

Cheers...

figbo · 25 April 2009, 02:36 AM

Any day setup for Florida,I'm ready for any day of the week,or 24-7-365!!

ippon20 · 25 April 2009, 04:12 AM

Hey guys, he may sign up on here shortly...but just to let you guys know that Scott @ Orlando Watch Co. mentioned that he would love to host a get together in Winter Park. He has one heck of a vintage collection and I spent a long while talking watches and perusing his shop. Might be another option in the Orlando area, a little lower key than talking watches in the middle of the mall. I'll wait and see if he comes on here to give some more details.

Now THAT sounds like a winner, Dan.

ippon20 · 26 April 2009, 03:16 AM

Yes, and believe me when I say he has some jaw droppers!

gioarmani7428 · 26 April 2009, 10:31 AM

I'm relatively new here.

Orlando sounds good, how about the Ming Court off I-drive. Probably some of the best Chinese & Sushi in the county. :)

gioarmani7428 · 26 April 2009, 10:38 AM

Or Le Coq Au Vin, on S. Orange Ave.

Sounds good to me. St. Aug in early May for lunch and some catching up. Jen your always welcome, as well as any others that would like to join us.

Allan, St. Augustine .... Daytona's?

As far as any other Florida GTG's, I'm there with a little notice.

Yup, it's still there! My wife's favorite restaurant. Just down the way a bit from my house actually.

Art 1 · 27 April 2009, 09:55 AM

What part of town are you in Dan? I'm in Maitland. Scott usually has an open house in July, Riley and I usually go check it out, I'll let you know when if he has it this year. We just had a GTG after the last watch show in Orlando and have a few a year in the area. James Dowling and Jeff Hess have been to a few on Winter Park, you will see some amazing watches. I'll keep you and the forum informed.

ippon20 · 27 April 2009, 10:01 AM

Art, I'm downtown in Delaney Park. Definently let me know...he showed me a lot of really cool timepieces and a vintage Omega Pro Plo that I haven't stopped thinking about since I put it on. Great shop, I'm so glad you introduced it to me!

Art 1 · 27 April 2009, 11:27 AM

Nice part of town, I get down there from time to time. Not far. He has had that Omega for sale before. I went in last week and he threw me a DSSD about 5 feet away, he did that once too with a Lange 1, crazy guy.

bodybump · 27 April 2009, 01:13 PM

I just wen to orlando like 3 times this week to deliver and to buy a watch...Davidsw and robrobin lives there.im sure it would be very easy for them to go....Count us in.!!!!

jeff hess · 27 April 2009, 01:27 PM

I'm in.

Jeff

brettpaul · 27 April 2009, 08:42 PM

Sounds good to me too - I'll be back from the UK in July, so let's just pick the place!! Although I have a home in Tampa I'm open to Winter Park, downtown O-town, etc.

ijen0311 · 7 May 2009, 11:47 AM

OK Florida peeps. Let's start to get serious about this G2G.

Are we still thinking sometime in June? Maybe June 12th?

Looks like we've got an AD to visit, we need to find a restaurant.

How's that date sound for starters?

ijen0311 · 7 May 2009, 11:48 AM

Oh - and this Saturday - May 9 - my AD is having a watch show ---

Carlyle and Co, Avenues Mall in Jacksonville. Hopefully some of you can come!

GerardoG · 8 May 2009, 12:28 AM

WIll this be Orlando?

chriseskew24 · 8 May 2009, 12:59 AM
