Boston GTG at the Omega Boutique, Natick, MA

[ryanpatrick]

Hey All, I am putting together a GTG for the Boston area at the Natick, MA Omega Boutique for this Saturday, 6/28. This is posted on a couple of other fourms but thought I'd post it here as well. Here is an itinerary for the GTG along with some other info. Please send me a PM if you're interested in attending. We still have a few spots open.

Schedule:
2pm-4pm: Group get together at Met Bar & Grill in the Natick Mall. Obviously this is optional, but if you want to get together early, have a drink, maybe grab some food and just talk watches with some great people come out early. You are encouraged to bring your collections to show off and share with other WUS members if you would like. Let me know if you are likely to attend this portion so I can make arrangements with Met Bar.

4pm-6pm: Event at the Omega boutique in the Natick Mall. Larry McGlynn, a SMP/NASA historian/collector will be on hand showing off some of his pieces. Two of Omega's technicians will be on hand to talk technical stuff if you would like and obviously they have a ton of great pieces on display. I also learned recently, if there is something you're interested in seeing and it's not on the floor just ask, you'd be amazed at what they keep in back. Also, it isn't confirmed yet but there is the possibility of some giveaways at the event.

6pm-on: We could grab drinks after the event for anyone who is interested. Barmakian (Omega, Tag and B&M AD) and Longs (Rolex AD) are both within a half mile so a group could visit those stores, time permitting (I'm not sure of their hours).

What I need from you:

1. If you have any allergies please let me know. Omega will be providing finger foods.

2. I need to know what you like to drink. Champagne and sparkling water will be there, but they can do craft beer, scotch, coffee, soda, etc. I just need to let them know what people like. Most votes is what I'll go with, choose one alcoholic and one nonalcoholic.

Final note(s):
You're encouraged to bring your collections, especially interesting Omega pieces. Obviously not required, but it's always cool to see what other WUS members are packing!

Omega has said if the event goes well they would like to make this a quarterly or bi-annual thing.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. Let me know if you have any questions!

I just got word from Omega that they will be giving away a full service valued at $525 to one lucky attendee. I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday. We still have room for a few more people. Shoot me a PM if you would like to attend.

Darn, I missed this; sorry. I could have used a service potentially as well.
