Mille Miglia!!...posting

Hi all,
Just want to celebrate with you my 1000 post. Arrived one year ago and this is my humble reached number. I enjoyed and learned with every post/thread in TRF. Hope to continue with you in the future and wish the best for the following years. Also want to say I'll try my best to continue helping with my limited knowledge to those they need.
Have a nice day!!
Carlos.

Thanks! Eivissa is the main village in Ibiza island in the Mediterranean sea. Well known for many things!! Ones are horrible (party, drugs, sex...) And others are amazing ( beautiful calas, ancestral traditions and culture, amazing environment, lovely food and wine....) If you want to have an amazing experience, go to visit the island!! You'll live an unbelievable trip!

Thanks a lot!! I love watch restoration. I know many people love the patina style but my cup of tea is to restore watches to "new appearance". Happy Holidays to you too and if nothing happens will see you in Vegas next April!!!
