This thread is to quantify if there are indeed any Breitling lurkers from the ME on this board who would be keen to start a chapter.

While im assuming it will be mainly expats here on assignments/contracts it would be good to see if there are enough of us to make a night of it in Qatar, UAE, Oman, Bharian or KSA.

If your on here and in the ME make yourselves known ;)

AS AT 12/5/11:

Doha, QA:1
Abu Dhabi, UAE:1
Dubai,UAE:1
Amman,Jordan:1
Saudi Arabia:1
Baghdad, Iraq:1

Sure Jordan counts boogy12! Imagine a backdrop like Petra!... Anyone else?!

Would be good to get a count by country and see how many there are :)

And now an Iraq based expat... we're going well...

Anyone else keen for a Baghdad catchup?

As an aside.. where can I get a Cape Cod cloth or a solid nanofiber cloth here in the ME? any spares around or any shops/dealers you'd care to recommend?

Easily available from Amazon.com
For those dealers who don't ship to this region, I have set up a Shop N Ship account with Aramex. They will give you a US and UK address which you give to the dealer. Anything landing there gets automatically shipped to your address in the Middle East! At about 12 USD per kg! It works like magic!!
