Been around a few years and made and met many friends along the way.

Thoroughly enjoyed many of the shenanigans here.

Bought a few watches.

But most of all, Learnt a hell of a lot from the members here who are happy to bestow their wisdom of many years.

A few of the highlights ( too many others to get out 馃ケ )

Buy what you want and what you like. It鈥檚 you that has to wear them. 馃槈

I think that Glycine is the pick of the litter.

Is there a dibs list for it?

The lugs on this one are shaving sharp.


You know you have dibs on most of my collection 馃槈 ( due to us being the only ones awake years ago at 4pm pick up from post office Aussie time.)

Some terrifically, crisp images there !

Thanks but Sellers 馃榿 I have to credit @cristos71 for them

I鈥檓 still shooting film on a Minolta for wildlife and landscapes in the Northern Territory
( too much invested in long lenses and love that Darwin has two stores that still do film due to Kakadu and Ayers Rock )

I have recently bought a Olympus OM-D E-M10 II

Shack up at our place on the way.

Bring many watches with you.

Drink whatever I offer you.

Sleep soundly, I shall guard your watches.

I promise!
