Registered as well - very close for me. Richard D's link worked a treat.

Only 45 minutes away from me so I'm in.

30 minute drive for me so I have tickets, taking the wife too because even though she doesn't wear a watch any more she always listens when I talk about them, so fit in a nice pub lunch and its date!
Thanks Richard
Just another interesting point, which watch do you pick for something like this, your latest, your most expensive or your favorite, just wondered.

Good question, I might not wear any given the opportunity to try different watches at the fair.

It would be good to say hello to those attending the fair. I’m easy to recognise, see the back of my head taken at the last fair.

I think it will be interesting for me just for CW anyway. Maidenhead is a long way to go.
There's a couple of lovely NT properties nearby that we visit quite regularly (Baddesley Clinton and Packwood), within a few miles of each other), although I doubt the houses will be open in Feb. Baddesley Clinton is a relatively small moated property that's particularly worth a look, although there wouldn't be a lot of time for both a stately home and serious watch viewings.

There's a lot of CW ranges that I would like to see in real life, particularly the Aquitaine. It's not quite the same looking at pictures.

Also close to my old stomping grounds of Coughton Court and Charlecote Park.

At this event there's only one watch I'd wear; the Bel Canto. And then I'd have to wear a G-shock on the other wrist so I knew what time it was

Same reason I sold my C1 Jump Hour, looked great but if someone had asked me the time I would have replied "20 to something"

^^^ dsb 18/Dave - If you were American you'd have added Alabama to Birmingham

Who the heck knows where Alabama is anyway

CW have one of the three best places at a trade show viz:
1. By the entrance
2. By the loos
And my personal favourite
3. By the bar
Was this Olivia's choice?

You would also pronounce it BURR-MING-HEHM instead of BUH-MING-UM (or BRUMMAGEM).

When I was young it was just "Brum"

Guy,

Do you know if this is the latest table layout? I've been trying to find this but without success. The list of brands doesn't seem to match the names at the tables.
20 brands are listed on the WatchIt site but only 14 of 27 tables have a name against them, e.g. Farer is on the brand list but not on a table.

I don't fancy a 2 hour drive just to see more CWs.

^^^^ The table plan was posted by Josh on the WatchIt! Watch Fair Facebook Group on January 23rd; just over a week ago.

It may have been changed or updated in the meantime.

To get the best and most up-to-date information, I suggest you contact Josh directly either by PM to @eggtronics or via his website.
