Bay Area, CA Meet Up

Hi All,

I wanted to poll an interest on a meet up around the Peninsula area for sometime this summer. Please let me know if there is interest and I can book something.

Thanks,
Ray

I’ve been organizing some for the Reddit r/watches community and so far we’ve held 3 meetups:

1- First meetup over dinner: https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/com...0U&sh=d46d7a79

2- Second meetup with Topper Jewelers: https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/com...8D&sh=a1bfc31b

3- Third meetup with Heller Jewelers: https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/com...Y2&sh=9e080336

Happy to start extending the invites in this thread as well!

Yes , please that would be great. Meet-ups or GTGs are a whole lotta fun because you are around people who all suffer from always looking for the next great watch.

Looking forward to seeing more San Francisco Bay Area events as I still have plenty of more raffle prizes to raffle off left over from the last GTG (Beverly Hills) I attended.

Nice.

I have purchased some accessories - straps - but no watches there. I understand they are carrying Grand Seiko now.

Looks like fun times have been had by all.

I am in south bay and with two kids, having a hard time to plan in advance, but if I can get away for a couple of hours on that saturday afternoon, will PM you and get info. Thanks for organizing and also the write ups on that other site and pictures and all.
