[B]____________The 2009 NYC GTG Report___ DAY 3 _______(GTG event) - 57 pics. ! ! )____B]SATURDAY - May 15th 2009 - The Main Event.We started our day with a nice breakfast in a not very fancy but cozy Morning Star restaurant on thecorner of 57th St and 9th Ave. As is it always the weekend following mother's day - the 9th Ave wasblocked off for about 20 block due to a fantastic food festival. We went in 2007 and 2008....and youbet - we went this year as well.After some walking through the food fest we jumped in the can and went to Cartier Boutique on 5th Avewhere we saw some phenomenal watches from Basel 2009 and also attended their exhibit upstairs thatincluded 231 carat diamond, Triple Crown Trophy as well as some cool Art Deco Mystery Clocks and manyother beautiful Cartier artifacts. We had to hurry up and be at the hotel before 2Pm so we could change andget to GTG on time. Despite shortage of time we walked by Omega Boutique and of course had to stop in.Leo still convinced us to sto

Sea-Gull ancestor: Tianjin with Dongfeng movement
A black-faced Tianjin (which I bought mainly because I love the dial) with a very plain back and containing a Dongfeng movement. I'd love to know what the "J" under "JonghuoTianjin" means.I have no certain idea of the age (educated guess early- mid70s), but Dongfeng ceased in 1973 becoming Sea-Gull, although a number of transitional Sea-Gulls also carried Dongfeng movements and Dongfeng and Sea-Gull are Tianjin products. I checked for a date code but where I expected a date code it looks more like a characterbut it's under the wheel and I can't get a good shot of it.

Sutter's Chicago: no longer "Rolex Authorized Service Center"
This would seem to be a pretty recent change, but I went today and saw a change of signage. Now says Rolex Watch Specialists. I called Rolex in New York, to enquire, and was told that they were still a great place to have a watch fixed, but that it was no longer affiliated with Rolex. I asked about whether Rolex would essentially pick up the service warranty, since there was no connection between Sutters and Rolex related to any future services, and it was implied they would (but with the strong caveat that they could not definitively tell me that without seeing the watch, and confirming that any issue was related to the previous service). So, anyone with issues related to a previous service should probably keep this in mind. I'm sending mine to Rolex for its current issue (even if I'm told that the current issue wouldn't be covered by the service warranty and I'll have to pay for it).
