New Jersey GTG

Guys & Gals,

I am thinking about putting together a fun GTG.

I would like to make it somewhat special. Maybe meet at an AD, have some drinks, some laughs, and some fun conversations about watches.

Maybe a raffle or two??

Then move on to a nice steakhouse or something similar.

Thinking about setting something up with a price fix menu to make it super easy for everyone.

North Jersey area.

I am going to throw this out there for something around March or April to give me time to set it up.

If anyone is interested, please respond here.

Thank you,
Seth

I am just outside of Philly but would be interested. I am brand new to this forum but it would be cool to meet up with other people who love watches.

I'm interested for a Friday or weekend GTG. I work in NY so it would be tough during the week.

I would consider attending. Lee Perla is an AD for Rolex in Hackensack. Omega boutique across the hall.

Indeed. I just haven’t cleared it with them yet.

So I’m keeping my options open.

Worst case we can all meet at Morton’s.

But we will figure it out.

Ok. Lee Perla is graciously hosting.

I’ll work on dates and get this thing rolling.

OK, all...here is the skinny.

I am dubbing this event "Rolex's and Ribeye's". (If a mod sees this and could add that to the title, it would be appreciated).

First and foremost, I want to state the fact that this is NOT a TRF sanctioned event. TRF does not do that. I put this only because I have seen some drama in the past from other GTG's.

I am doing this for the fun of it. I think it would be great to meet up with a bunch of like-minded people and I am always looking to network and meet new people. That is part of the fun of life.

I am thinking right now that we will do this on March 24th at Lee Perla. We will meet at Lee Perla in the neighborhood of 6:00 pm. I figure we can spend a good solid hour and a half there talking watches and whatnot.

At 7:30, we will then move to Mortons Steakhouse in the same mall. I have secured a room and they are currently confirming that the date works.

I have to pay a non-refundable deposit of $125 which I am OK with. I also have to guarantee them a minimum of $1,200, which should be easy if we get 12 people or more. If we do not get enough people, but we are close, I am OK providing the difference.

My wife will be joining and considering it is a Saturday, I very much encourage everyone to bring their spouses, significant others, friends etc... Of course, it is not necessary.

I will ask anyone that confirms to send me $100. I am not going to make any money off of this event. I just don't want to be on the hook for $1,200. If there is extra money left over after the event, I will donate it to the ASPCA. However, I highly doubt there will be any money left over. Mortons is not cheap. But they do happen to have an exceptional Ribeye, among many other things.

I do happen to feel like a $100 dinner at a premier steakhouse is not expensive.

If anyone wants to join just for Lee Perla, there is of course no cost to that.

So that is about it. If the cost factor scares people away, and we just want to do Lee Perla, that is fine too. But I personally would like to do the Mortons part as well. If it becomes just my wife and I, or even a few others, that is fine too.

No pressure either way.

If anyone wants to join, please say so via this thread, and I will reach out to you via PM and then add you to the list. Please confirm if you want to do both, or just Lee Perla.

I will keep a running list of attendees here on this thread.

That is about it. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you,
Seth

ha. I think I had put that the date was not yet set.

I have confirmed that it does actually work. So we are good to go.

I set it pretty far out there to give people (myself) ample planning time.

Seth I can't do March 24. I could probably do March 9-10 or 15-17, though.

It would be so much better if you are there.

I will try and make the change. I will update this thread, when I know more.

I'll be in NYC with the wife in about three weeks. Feb 14 to 24 to be precise. If you change your mind and it happens around that period count me in. If not possible, don't worry. Hope you guys have a great GTG!

I will have to be a game time decision, the wife is pregnant and due 3/23. Have to see how that plays out but I most likely will not be able to attend that date. Let you know if she goes early!
