Seeing as there are quite a few Australian members now, I thought it might be worth seeing if anyone is interested in an Aussie Breitling meetup?

I'm imagining something around June/July and along the lines of lunch together and then an organised viewing session at an AD. Breitling Aus also seems quite keen to engage their customer base, and so I'm sure we could organise something with them (Swag? A tour of their service centre? A Q&A? Not sure!)

Reply if you are interested, and let me know which city suits you best. I'm guessing Sydney will end up being central to most (factoring in our Melb/Bris/Pert members) but if we have a dominant group from another city we can always make it Melbourne/Brisbane! Otherwise it might just turn into a Newcastle meetup with Novacastrian and myself at a beachside cafe ;-) (and a visit to a Timex store... seems about the best Newcastle has!)

And for our international members, feel free to join us! (Looking at you wessa, you know you fancy another trip back!)

Well, if you're factoring Perth than Uluru would be quite central location.
Not sure about an AD there but should be no shortage of cold lager ;-)

Very true! If we factor in Beijing we could all meet on a raft in the ocean and check out the water resistance of the seawolf in the Mariana Trench ;)

That said, if you did make the flight down Wessa then I'd happily shout you a beer :D

It would be interesting to see the service centre, I'm in Melbourne though and probably wouldn't have time to make it to Sydney unfortunately.

Well, if you put it like this, I might have to think about it ;-)

How about displanted aussies that now live in the US. We could meet half-way in Europe somewhere :lol:

Sorry I'll miss it; sounds like a great idea. Good luck in getting some more legitimate people to turn up.

I'm in, if its anywhere in Victoria. :lingsrock:

I don't get out of the state much, nor have the time to go interstate, so by-pass me if the consensus is anywhere else. Would be nice to catch up with you all the OZ Ling members but knowing me, even if it’s in Melbourne, I will probably get redirected on the meet up day and have to be somewhere else instead. :(

Telle est la vie.

Jim

A belated yes from me.

I have been actively avoiding this forum lately, because the more time I spend looking at watches on the net, the more likely I am to buy another one. Not sure a meetup will help me either but I'm willing to do it anyway. I still want a Navi 01. Help me. :twisted:

Otto,

If the only way you can be stablized for your condition is to be attend an OZ Meet Up belatedly; then we need a Theory Group, I think. :)

For all of us who can't avoid buying another Breitlings at the mere mention of the name. :drool:

If avoidance does not work, then a theory session might! Perhaps even Tantric Massage!! :bow:

Jim

I'll try the meetup and the aversion therapy. Tantric massage might require a little more convincing!
