Wouldn't It Be Great If...

Watch shows like Baselworld traveled around the world, and landed in a
city near you ? What do you think about this ? How would a BIG watch
show do ? Would it get more people into watches ? Will it ever happen ?
Just thought it was fun to think about !

. . . it is a great idea Tom!!! I actually believe there was one in Frisco here, just a while back.

. . . Downside would be ...................................... YOUR WALLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't there a big watch show in Vegas every year?

Probably too much overhead for the organizers and the vendors but it sure would sweet.
Tom, write 'em a letter!

It would be great Tom!

Heck Yeah I'd go!!!

I went to this last year

It was actually pretty cool, good dinner, cool swag. Neat watches.

That would be great...but as it was mentioned above, I think the overhead by watch companies would be too high.
This happened with the motorcycle industry back in the 90s. I used to go to the Vancouver Canada bike show every year...but as economic times got hard, the venue ceased

Awesome stuff guys ! Those shows look and sound great Randy and Tim !
Didn't actually know about those, but they must be really cool. The show in
Las Vegas must be terrific as well Alan ! Would be nice to go to one of these
at some point. Until they actually bring the Baselworld show on tour here, these
will be just fine. Thanks for all the thoughts, insight and info everyone !
I may have to write that letter Poli ! Thx !

Here is a link to that Las Vegas show by the way...
