Maryland Meetup
Our local AD for a number of brands including Grand Seiko, Omega, Seiko, Nomos, Breitling, Oris, Citizen and more, Little Treasury Jewelers, is holding their annual watch fair, called Time Out, on October 14-15. This is a very well attended event, with a large number of brands having representatives there. Little Treasury is at 2506 New Market Lane, Gambrills, MD 21054. Their website has more details and a sign up for the event. There’s even a dress like the watch your wearing event on Saturday with a grand prize of a $2-3k watch. I know from past posts a number of Crunchers have gone to prior events there. It’s close to DC, Delaware and Virginia - we’ve got pretty small states around here! Here’s a link for the event: https://littletreasury.com/event/time-out-watch-fair-2022/
I think it would be fun to have a meetup associated with this. I’m suggesting Saturday at 5PM EDT (I think I entered that time correctly!) I’ve suggested a very good Thai restaurant close to the shop. I’m open to other times or places close if others prefer. Let me know if you are interested. Hope to see a good group there.
Meet your host
Always interested in variety, but must be useful
Thanks for the invite! I attended Time Out last year and I‘m planning to do so this year. So I’ll definitely try to check out the meet up. I appreciate the invite!
Sounds like so much fun! Would love to join, but won't be in the area at that time. Have fun!!!
Sounds like a great event. Unfortunately, I will not be in the area at that time.
I missed this when you posted. I'm not sure what my schedule looks like next month, but I'll try to make it.

That would be great, I hope you can. I’ll send out more information as we get closer.
It bugs me living in Annapolis and the watch family is so small. I could be wrong but I dont think there is a big name AD from a brand in the annapolis area.. If so where? I looking forward to the meet up/Time up event...........
Yes, we are not very well covered. I think the closest AP dealer is in NYC. I use Little Treasury in Gambrills, which is a good shop and an AD for Omega, Grand Seiko, Breitling, Ball, Oris and a number of German microbrands. It’s about a 30 minute drive from Annapolis.
Being a VA guy was hoping for Tyson's for a meet up...
Maybe that can be the next one in the area.
Just gotta see what's going on that weekend...this week and the next are a bit nutty
Will have to get up there at some point anyway...they are the only GS location in the DMV right?

Yes, they’re it. I just rechecked the GS website, the only VA store is in Virginia Beach, nothing else in MD, Delaware or DC. They do have a big GS presence in the store, I think they are called a ‘salon’, usually have 30-50 models on display.
I’ll try to make it. I’m going to NYC the following weekend so it may be tough. I can only justify so many watch meetups per year 🤣

Hope to see you, but I understand. I may go to NYC also, so a busy time. I hope we can begin a little community here in MD.

We really need to! If not this month let’s plan something soon after. It would be great to meet some likeminded folks nearby.
Hopefully you can make it to NYC. I’m looking forward to my first WatchTime and WindUp Watches events.
Now, which watch(es) to wear…
Sounds fun

Thanks! Look forward to seeing you there.
O man, just realized I am going to be away that weekend. I was actually looking through what to bring when I realized I was a week off on my mental travel schedule. I hope you all have a good time and I would definitely be interested in another!

Sorry, we will miss you being there, but I’ll let you know about future meetings. Safe travels!
Would love to go meet local 'crunchers and that whacky Chris dude from little treasury youtube fame! Of course it's on the other side of the country and my canuck dollar is worth less than pesos these days. Boo!
Anyway- have a great time and post pics!
I'll be at Time Out but probably won't be able to make the Meet up but sign me up for doing something in the future!

Thanks, Jeff. Let me know if anything changes in your plans. I’ll let you know about future meetings.
Did anyone go to Time Out yesterday? Going to head over around 3 today, at least that's the plan

Yes, I was there yesterday. I liked the Zodiac selection and the representative, Michael; Jeffery at Omega and the guys are Towson watch are fun the talk to also. Great representation for Grand Seiko, of course. Nomos and others too, but I didn’t talk to them much.
Feel free to mention your are from the “WatchCrunch” group and that I told you to stop by. Chris and Matt are two of the senior sales reps in the store and Cameron is their media person, definitely let them know you are from our group, they may be organizing a meetup for us later.
You are still welcome to attend the dinner at 5 if you can. Let me know if you will, I’ll assume a ‘no’ if I don’t hear from you. My cell number is 410-703-1155 in case you need anything. Enjoy the show.
Sounds great!
Luckily this is my local shop- Chris and Matt are solid dudes! I'll be sure to let them know about the WC group, and happy to coordinate where I can since I'm hyper local to them
I will not be able to attend dinner, going downtown tonight
