Where I am there seems to be a lack of organized watch enthusiast activities (at least that I am aware of). So searching for watch events turned up the NAWCC regionals that have a mart (I assume a marketplace) associated with them. Are these a place …

No, not for that. 🙁
I have been into watches since I was a kid and have ~50+ watches now (down a bit from the peak), but ALL have been less than $300. Our house is paid off, as are our cars (old as they may be). Recently, my youngest graduated coll…

I have been downsizing my accumulation, partly to get it down to a manageable size, and partly to thin several lesser worn watches. Then Ashford had a 15% off everything sale this weekend, and I found a coup items I couldn’t resist.

i posted about this last year, but i didn’t make it there myself. it’s a lot of regional micros, but some larger brands too. I may go this year, but I’m not in the market for watch right now and the prices are at the high end of my limit, but I may go just to break the monotony of winter. March 8-9.
