Hi everyone! I haven't introduced myself properly, so a little about the gonzo: I was born in the great city of Monterrey, in the northeast of Mexico. When I was 13 my parents moved us to Houston Texas, the Heights neighborhood in the late seventies. Later, we moved to the east side as my dad worked around that area, and except for the years I served in the US Navy ( BT/MM ) this has been my home. I'm an independent HVAC contractor, but very small business, it's basically me and a few installers. Just got tired of working for others. My interest in watches, particularly the seiko divers, started in the mid 80's while in the navy as my best friend beat the crap out a 6309 everyday as an HT. The strange thing is that, as much as I admired it's ruggedness and the sound of its movement, I never bought one for myself. I just thought that it looked too big on my 7.25" wrist, I guess because at that time most watches were smaller. Anyway, here I'm now, a big seiko fan and lately on a vintage chrono kick. When I get a few pieces back from service I'll post my small collection. Late! best, Ray Gonzalez

Hi brew! does that imply another hobby? I normally have lunch around the usual places to grab a good craft brew; the hay merchant, petrol station, flying saucer (the one in sugarland) and the Nobi house. It all depends, as I work all over town. We should set up a wis meeting from guys in the area, huh.
