then the "proverbial" hit the fan mid 2008 & mid 2009 I lost my business, my home & my Rolex's when the work literally just stopped stone cold dead!
It wasn't bad enough having no work nor personal income for months but trynna keep paying my staff & overheads crippled me.......

But hey it could be worse my friend.....
I've a beautiful healthy family & I'm on the way back!!

I'm sorry to hear things are still slow over there too though my friend.....
IMO the USA will be the first to "recover" & it's only then that the rest of the world (& the UK especially) can follow.

HVAC tech. Live in Delaware. Always been into watches. Started when I was young. Had gadget watches. About 7 years ago I fell off my ladder and broke my wrist. While I was out. I went to my local mall. Fell in love with an Omega Seamaster. So I bought it at Costco for a great price. Then got into Seiko diver watches. Beater watches. Then in the last couple of years been buying watches and jewerly for my wife from a local Jewelers. I own a SeaDweller, just got the Deepsea. Need to post pics. Own two Omega one Breitling Chrono. One Wolfs watch winder and Three watch winder. Have a Tissot SeaStar, two Invicta divers, two Seiko divers, Suunto heart monitor watch, one casio G- Shock

After I pay the Deepsea off. Would like a Moon watch or 007. Would like to see what the new Rolex Subs look like.
