Thank you for all who showed up to our GTG last night. A good time was had by all. It is nice to be able to sit down with like-minded individuals.

Hopefully we have a bigger turnout on the next GTG.

Hi all,
Do any of you have a line on an Omega AD in town? Yes, gasp, I'm thinking of picking up a PO Ti and am looking around to see if anyone has a local connection for a good discount on Omega watches. You can PM me the info. And, yes, I still love my Rolex watches. :) Cheers.

Hello fellow Vancouver-ites!

I am in the market for a used watch to add to my collection. So I am looking for a store that would sell older model Explorers, GMT's, Omegas and others of similar calibre.

I know about Otto Friedl, and I will check them out. Anyone know of any others?

Thanks for the help.

Kal,

You can try J&M Jewellers. Other than that, I am not too sure. Good luck on your quest!

No problem, my friend.

It looks like the 15th of August is a go for a few of us, so we are going to do it that day.

If things change, please come on by. Same place as last time around 8pm.

Hi guys,

I'm visiting from California later this month and I am interested in purchasing a Rolex at one of the AD's in Vancouver, primarily because of the exchange rate favoring the dollar. I'm wondering what the sales tax is like in Vancouver? Also, any recommendations on where to purchase from? From a quick peruse of this thread it looked like Montecristo's is the place to go. What kind of discount can I realistically expect? Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. Have fun on your gtg :)

Hey guys! I am located in Prince George BC about 900 km north of Vancouver, however, am down in Vancouver at least few times a year. I would be interested in buying Rolex as a group. Please count me in! I will be in Vancouver staying at Fairmont Pacific Rim from 13th of August to 17th. If you guys would like to meet around that time, I would love to be there! Cheers

Thanks to the guys who showed up tonight at our GTG. It is too bad that more members did not make it out tonight, but a good time was still had.

Hopefully the next GTG will have a larger turnout. Just a couple of pictures to share. The first one is of the GMT Master II 116713 LN (Turbo Singh's) and my 116613 LB. The second is our group shot.
