midasmook 14 Posted October 27, 2013 Glasgow gtgt's are all about watches no other topics are allowed to be discussed and if you don't have at least 12 watches with you 3 which have had to have been bought in the last month then you are not welcome. Aston is working on a written test for our Xmas gtg which must be completed before you will be allowed in. Hope this clears things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tits McGee 7 Posted October 27, 2013 I think I'd go to a GTG to meet the guys & make some new friends. This place is pretty special because of the people, not the watches. As I get older, good friendships have become much more meaningful to me than the toys I possess. That was deep huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1littlegreen 1 Posted October 28, 2013 I have yet to attend a GTG unfortunately. One day that will happen, probably on the other side of the pond. Most of my interaction has been with the good folks in the UK. Even though I have seen pictures of most of friends that I actually call "mate", I know it will be a welcome to actually meet them, even if we are using watches as the excuse. We may have not met, but we know about each others families, and sometimes the struggles we are enduring. Without this forum, my views would be different not having met these folks. This is not a forum where there are just screens and keyboards, this is a forum where there are real people, not only to talk to, but that you can meet. Thank you Dal for broaching the subject, this is what being here is all about, the people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike on a bike 0 Posted October 28, 2013 Well guys done 3 GTG and one mini (just me and another guy in town), and all have been great. Go to one talk with a guy for a few hours then PMing, posting back and forth takes on a new meaning. It is tangible I can not explain it better but it is a very good thing.

ShovelnTC 31 Posted October 28, 2013 Watches are nice..........people are better. Not sure I can agree on that one, we must know different people! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Diamond 0 Posted October 28, 2013 It's always great meeting new people and making new friends. I sold a guy a car 10 years ago and he has been my best mate ever since, so random shit happens when you make new friends. GTG are not only a way of meeting and greeting they are also a great way to feel around and get to know other watches that you might not have seen or had any desire for. Just because there are 50 watches on the table does not mean that is the sole topic of conversation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalboy 2 Posted October 28, 2013 Just because we take a lot of watches WTF makes you think it's all we talk about? I didn't say it was the only topic of conversation. !!

graman 2 Posted October 28, 2013 What Mystery Shopper said........ Good to talk watches, but not to buy... Show off your collection... Sure..... But don't sell it. G2g's are about meeting people we've been talking to for a long time. A few drinks, and talking.... About everything... Not just watches. Get boozed up and talk shit, and enjoy meeting other members.
