G'day, My name is Max, I live in Queensland Australia on the Western Darling Downs. I started my working life as a heavy equipment mechanic and have worked in a variety of jobs since. Now many years retired I have always had an interest in things mechanical as well as computers, photography and woodworking. I only got into watches about 6 Months ago, looking for a hobby to do inside during the heat of summer and the cold of winter, (don't handle the extremes to well these days) Wife objected to the power planer and belt sander in the living room.  At 75 its probably a little late to be starting a new career but what the heck! Hope to get plenty of good advice from all the good folks here, or even the bad ones.  Max |
