WatchCrunch meetup Manila???

@hakki501 your cue.

Yes, sounds good, pare! @brunofrankelli and I were discussing that 2 or 3 weeks ago, and we initially were looking at early to mid-November. We're a bit busy this month of October.

We can ask others to chime in as well, to see their availability. @litoben @pororo.watch @dudzdomasig @just_in_time @Cipheron @chrissors @R_onin

Venue could be in BGC, so that it's central enough for North and South folk. FYI, @rodeenski is from Baguio, @chrislang is from Cebu, @Repsol1977 is from Olongapo, @RyanGochuico is from Mindanao, @SalvadorK24 is from Davao.

There are a handful that I am not aware of their location. @JGman625 @Dadskkie @glenoid @ohmymymichael @rainer15

if im not mistaken, ahia @RyanGochuico is from mindanao :) i might be open to this, based on my schedule

Just a 200+km drive... doable! Just schedule it on a weekend, I could most probably come. Oh, and we have a very long weekend coming end of October to early November! Might not be a bad idea if we could squeeze it in there. Chances of higher attendance might be probable. 😁

I'd love to meet up with you all but i live in mindanao and can only leave work on long weekends which is then spent with family so 😅

Pictures nalang mga brad and sis 😁

If it’s bgc I can just walk over :-), but what would be the “activity” storm Lucerne (watch store) I could talk to one of the microbrand owners if there is interest.

Ive checked the bus timetable but can't see Manila. I don't think they run a service from Yorkshire England 😕

Uy, ayos pare! Punta ka talaga? Layo ng biyahe nyan. Pero sige kung gusto mo, let's go! So far, ito yung possible options.

Option 1: Oct 29 (Sun)

Option 2: Oct 31 (Tue; Not sure if this is a holiday)

Option 3: Nov 1 or 2 (Wed/ Thu; Holiday)

Option 4: Nov 26 (Sun) or Nov 27 (Mon; Bonifacio Day)

No problem, sir! Abangan ninyo na lang mga photos. Any ideas for what we can do during the meetup?

Hehe, yep, good for you. :) As for what we will do during the meetup, we can brainstorm and share our thoughts here.

Are you offering that we can probably borrow a small place to meet in Lucerne? Good idea din to feel out microbrand owners if there is interest on their part to join, or even perhaps collab. ;)

wRist shots, inom, drunk buy ng mga relo 😆

Boom!

uy pare, family week for me end ng october and start of november! tingnan natin 🤝 thanks for the update, hakki!

Mas ok yata ako sa Oct 29th or 31st. Sana holiday yun.. hehe

Would love to see what you guys do! Post pics hopefully you guys get to go shopping too! 🛍️

If your +1s wanna join, they're open to join. 🥳 Who knows, perhaps by meeting us, they will support you more... or maybe think we are lunatics hahaha. 😜

I have all the support I could ask for but that being said I’ll bring her if there are more +1 and if we need to fill the room but I hope we can get up to 8-10 crunchers

I would have to bring her along for the long drive lest I won't be able to come! I'm not sure if my son would want to tag along. Baka umay na rin sya sa Baguio. Change of environment ba... hehe 😂

Can I bring my vintage girl?

Same here, I have all the support too, but she's usually busy on weekends. Currently, we are 6 Crunchers + 2 from the microbrands. There is no function room in Key Coffee, but they do have 2 long tables which can easily sit 6-8 people each. If we reserve early, I'm sure they can arrange the tables for us.

Ayos bai! Bring your whole family.🥳 Should your wife and son get bored with our chatting, there are a number of places they can check out in Mitsukoshi Mall, and the nearby Uptown Mall.

Surely pare! @rodeenski is bringing his wife and son. 🍻

I was kinda expecting that pare... BORED! 😂

enjoy kayo mga pare! send pics! flight sked zzz sayang talaga and sumakto

I don't mean my significant other. My vintage girl is my drug deale-- I mean the person I get my vintage pieces from. If she comes, she'll be bringing HER significant other, who's also into watches. They both are so they won't be pushing their wares, unless someone intentionally asks for details. I promise she's not a used car salesperson.

Cool pare, go ahead and invite them. The more, the merrier. Will update the headcount.

We'll most likely post any pics on the Meetup post. Yeah sayang, pero di bale, I'm guessing we may have another the next one Q1 next year. ;)

6PM flight so its really a no-go... enjoy! 💯

Sure... punta ako

Ok pare, see you 👍🏼
