Hi 3Ters

I have been on the list for a few weeks now and thought it was about time (!) I introduced myself. I am an oldie at 49, I live in Perth, Western Australia, and my time is roughly 8 to 16 hours ahead of yours, so you usually post your watches for sale when I am asleep - and they are sold by the time I wake up! have been into watches since I was about 15 when I first bought a Universal Geneve day/date/month/moon chrono (which I subsequently lost in a house move!) and the passion hasn't stopped.

Nowadays, I have a Pam GMT, a couple of Rolexes (Daytona and Explorer) that get used, and several others that because of changing tastes over the years, see little wrist time. Just can't let them go.

Because of your list, I am now an Orsa convert, and I am (hopefully) on the list for blue Monstrum. As SeaAnglers come about on the pre-owned list, I will be looking at those too. Would sure like to see them on bracelets, though.

The list has answered many questions for me - and it is more fun and informative than anything I have participated in before. Cheers to you all and thanks for putting up with my posts - IanM

Hi srh_pres

Thanks for that!

I know that some of the 3T members have a few less years on us (some have more? ), but if patience and persistence count for anything...

I look forward to much more interaction on the site - it is fun and there are some very interesting watches you guys have over there that I never see here. The list members' knowledge of the topic and of their specific watches is refreshing - because you guys walk the walk.

Thanks again for the welcome!

IanM

Hey skipdawg

You're right. Maybe I am just 30 with a few years of experience?

Age doesn't mean much when the passion is still there - does it?

Your comment rings true, though - there is so much happening on the site that it is almost like a full-time job!

3T already has contributors from around the world - I am very happy to be a new one of them, mixing thoughts with like-minded watch-o-philes.

And the welcome from you guys has made it even better for me.

Thanks![img]http://www.timetechtalk.com/images/emoticons/thankyou.gif[/img]

Hi Scuba Steve

I look forward to more posts to and from as well.

I have lived in New York (Queens - 4 months), California (Redondo Beach - 6 months) and Houston (just over 18 months) but I have only ever visited the state of Louisiana for a few days at a time - I still found it to be a beautiful place. You are a lucky man...

Thanks for the welcome, I really appreciate it!

IanM

Welcome Aboard!

I have some customers in Australia that I often talk to on the phone. Quite surreal. It'll be 7pm my time and when I call they'll be up the next morning having coffee!!!
