Looking for any fellow Rolex fans for a get together. Let's see if Chicago has any love for Rolex

No date or time set just looking for a number of people who might be interested

I would be up for a GTG. I was On clyborn today and went into James and Sons. They had a pretty decent inventory. They even had a blue faced sub. The sales lady asked if I was there for their big event. I asked her what it was, and she told me that they are "absorbing" the sales tax. She received zero reaction from me.

I would be up for checking out the Rolex boutique on Michigan Ave. and Tourneau in water tower. Let me know what date we are talking about.

Hairdude1 · 22 April 2012, 12:41 PM

I was in there also before I saw a TT GMT but it was scratched! I have purchased all of mine thru Tourneau. Let me email my contact @ TWC and see what we can do!

Hey guys I'm interested in a Chicago GTG. Was in James & Sons not to long ago, Sharon is decent to talk to. IMO this place is like a lot of other local AD's very parvenu if your not there to buy a Brand New Rolex. Kinda got the feeling they treated my 16613 as antiquated. But that's another thread!

My brother in law just bought a 214270 from Rolex on Michigan, well it's presented by Tourneau, Natasha was his sale's Rep and she was awesome.

I'm down.

LRF · 23 April 2012, 12:57 AM

Today is the last day for the Chicago Antique Jewlery & Watch Show. They have a TON of Rolex for sale among many other brands. Me and Tiffany attended on Friday, the opening day of the show and I bought this 1923 Rolex Sterling Silver Trench Watch. Got it for a steal! Also bought a circa 1919 Pavel Buhre with an exploding RED 12 deco dial.

I might go back today, show opens at 11am

I would certainly be interested in a Chicago GTG, make it happen!

Hairdude1 · 23 April 2012, 02:56 AM

This looks like we are gaining some momentum

I would be interested in a Chicago GTG.

dddrees · 23 April 2012, 08:45 AM

I would be interested, but timing would be important to me.

It's a pretty good drive for me, so I would have to see what I could do.

Hairdude1 · 23 April 2012, 09:56 AM

With a good amount in. Do Sundays work for everyone?

911SC · 23 April 2012, 12:48 PM

Sunday's could be a possibility for me, would have to be before 1:00pm or after 9:00pm I work afternoons, unless I have that Sunday off. Maybe we can all meet for Coffee at a Starbucks or something?

dddrees · 23 April 2012, 08:36 PM

Saturdays or Sundays would work for me.

Lion · 23 April 2012, 11:23 PM

I'm up for a GTG after May 7th as we will be out of town for vacation and work in Buffalo, New York!!!

Hairdude1 · 24 April 2012, 05:18 AM

I like the starbucks idea and then head to TWC???

911SC · 24 April 2012, 08:16 AM

Yeah, after the 7th will work for me as well.

Hairdude1 · 24 April 2012, 09:38 AM

So how about May 20?

Pix · 24 April 2012, 11:47 AM

May 20th works for me

911SC · 24 April 2012, 12:31 PM

May 20th works. Let's find out what time the TWC opens then plan on meeting at Starbucks an hour prior or so...

LRF · 24 April 2012, 01:33 PM

Sounds good!

Lion · 24 April 2012, 08:46 PM

May 20th should be fine with me as well!!!

Hairdude1 · 25 April 2012, 01:45 AM

Sounds like a plan. I assume TWC opens at 11 or 12. So what starbucks are we thinking as a gathering point?

Oyster Al · 25 April 2012, 01:55 AM

I like may 20.

Timber Loftis · 25 April 2012, 03:22 AM

I can probably make May 20.

The "Rolex Boutique" on Michigan is of course Tournoooo. The other stores in the area, Tournooo CD Peacock etc., all had their Rolexes pulled from the shelves so the boutique can enjoy a little local Mag Mile monopoly. I haven't been to James and Sons yet.

One good thing about the Michigan Ave store is you can also hit Fine Swiss Watches and check out some Glashuttes, etc.

Michigan Ave has a number of different possibilities going both North (Bets) but some South of the Rolex Boutique as well.

The Omega Boutique is a nice store to visit also.
