And can’t forget ice, freezing rain, ice, freezing rain- random blizzard, ice, freezing rain on top of blizzard for extra fun!
Yes, but would driving really be fun without that? 😀

At least it gives you time to admire your Ranchero while you are sitting in this

It was really a great afternoon and certain to become an annual event. And of course I bought another watch (insert eye roll HERE). Just want to thank everyone for coming and everyone who contributed to organizing the event. My new Omega ornament will be the first one on my tree. And here’s a group photo of some of our Mid-Atlantic OF members who made this such a fun day!

What a motley looking crew. Interesting watch pics tho, but can't you guys afford anything new? What's with all the old stuff?

Oh boy. Ok, Fred, that’s it. Pistols at dawn. Oh wait, I forgot that you’re in Florida. It’s only a matter of time before alligators, pythons and the Florida panther remove you from the equation. 😁

This thread (and event) makes me love this forum even more.
I am attending next year, if there is one and I am invited and I haven't pissed off & alienated everyone before then that is.

The group photo is the best... exactly what I expected to see from watch nerds!

Great GTG.. nice touch with the gift bags and not a bad raffle prize either! (circa 2011 Omega Speedmaster puzzle)



Oh, and the watches weren’t bad..


Connie group shot..


And just the arrowheads..

I had a great time too. Just got home and animals fed. My spouse was one of the 3 who came along and she had a good time, feeling included in the watch sharing as much as I was. I'm glad I got to meet everyone, especially being my first in person watch meet up.

Super cool swag bag with a mug and an ornament ... My wife is already in the candy.

My group shot.


Of course I couldn't leave without procurement care of @seekingseaquest, as usual.



I think me buying it there shocked her the most and forgot to remind me to grab that one from you @JwRosenthal ... The one with the numbers on the bracelet lol

Can't wait to see y'all again.

The really big ticket stuff didn't make it on the photo table.

Swag was a group effort. My wife Hannah made and decorated the ornaments (getting those hanging watches in there wasn’t easy), Greg got the mugs and candy I used my eBay powers for good and not evil to procure the bags (those are indeed old OB gift bags) and the raffle prize which I hope we will see soon.

Oh and we had a few lawyers there today so step off Omega if you are planning a cease and desist for us using the logo- it was in honor of the brand.
And if you are planning on sending a cease and desist letter, Swatch Group, our lawyer is Dr. Phillip Gonzalez, c/o General Delivery in Las Vegas. 😁

Absolutely, as was Mike’s Railmaster. But MTrois speedy collection was outrageous!

Numbers on the bracelet?

I now realize your wife brought you so she could scope out her next purchase. She has mighty fine taste in Bulova’s.

I love you you figured out what year the puzzle was made. Or did I miss the copyright on the box 🤦
