Thanks Andrew....
this is a community where you can grow and learn from the very knowledgable people here. I probably wouldn't still be collecting watches if it wasn't for this place I call home, and to meet such amazing friends from all over the world just adds to the enjoyment.
I missed you when you were last over but I hope to meet one day.
Yours my friend,
Andy.
My 3000 post and a little celebration....and gift 2 is revealed....
Purists is an amazing site which is said by many family members here... everybody I have met has been a friend from the first meeting. But this site also leads to other interesting joys. My generous dealer last weekend gave me a gift which was amazing ( h...
My deep congratulations for the 3K and for the gift ...
Andy, It's a great mark. I'm waiting for the great pictures and stories to come. Cheers, Nilo Note: Our cats, Noel Rosa and Nara Leão sent their congratulations.
I have a feeling that as close you are from the 3K mark ...
Things starting slow down. It may be an undead curse or something related to a Stonehenge based trick (made by Sir Graham, of course). Cheers, Nilo
'Tis for us . . .
. . . to thank you for being such a stalwart member of the community, Andy. How are the plans for a trip our way coming along? :-)
Cheers Dr No...

Thanks Blomman....
I always enjoy reading your posts and learning from you....it's a pleasure being a friend. Yours, Andy.
Congratulations, Andy, on reaching a major milestone.
A dealer who gives you gifts of that sort is more than a dealer. He is a dear friend. And, he must recognize that quality in you as well. Looking forward to a pictorial report when all is accomplished. Aloha, Bob
Thanks for your kind words Bob....
I have to say my dealer is a good friend after many years, and believe me you'll get the full report when I get back from AP.!! Yours, Andy.
Great to have you in the community, Andy
