I would go noob 111, having owned a couple of Getats and a 111, the quality of the 111 far exceeds the getat IMO. The 6497 movement is ultra reliable and I presume the same for both watches, so its a decision based purely on fit and finish plus your personal preference.
So how does sheffield work for everyone?
My brother works at a sports bar in a nice area of town, im sure he could sort us an area to meet up.
Bring a few watches have a chat, few beers and maybe a meal?
Well after reading about the GTG in Chigago i thought i would gauge interest in a UK meet.
Im happy to organise this if we can gain interest, im located in Sheffield which is fairly central, plus i know of at least one more member (denimhead) who lives nearby.
What do we think?
