As a newbie my first interaction on the forum, and my reason for joining, was to purchase a Heiden watch winder from Pete. He was very welcoming and offered me a great deal on a wonderful that was far more impressive when I received it than expected. Half of my purchase price must have gone to covering shipping! Pete’s communication was great. Can’t state how much a positive first interaction on the board can make somebody feel welcome. Pete is a tremendous asset to this community.
