    The Edinburgh ones had a rule of one watch only, otherwise expect a beating :)

    I only too about 4 or 5 watches to the only GTG I went to - but thankfully a few members brought cases full of watches which I got to have a good look at.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Tell you what, Jason, I'd be careful about publishing the venue details and then encouraging everyone to bring multiple watches :?

    Edited accordingly - thanks!

    Not encouraging people to bring lots of watches by the way, just never been to a GTG before and for any GTG virgins (like myself :lol: ) interested to hear back from other members who have.

    I've been to a couple of GTG in France and it really depends on who is gonna attend and how the GTV has been organized (eg dedicated to one specific brand or not)...
    however, I would not buy more than 4-5 pieces...

    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    I usually take a selection of 6 to 8 from the collection to SWHES others bring just a few or many, it really doesn't matter but it is nice to see things that you would otherwise not get to see. :D

    I usually just have one on each wrist, one around the neck of Rockie the Rottie on an extra long NATO and the rest in the bag with the sawn-off.
    I haven't had any problems ;-)

    Yep. The one on your wrist. It allows variation on subsequent GTGs.

    Soooo many variables, not least security, but I normally take about 6.

    If you have lots of watches to drool over and post pics on WT, you will probably find that your next GTG is even better attended.
