G'day all,
I got a message from a friend saying it would be worth my while checking this forum out, so here I am!
a063
My name is Sander, aka Hobbes, and I am a not very knowledgeable but nonetheless passionate collector of Seikos, and some other watches. Have done some minor modding and repairing, but that is not my forte either (although I enjoy it!). My job with a major Anglo-Dutch energy company has taken me all over the world, and I recently moved from Geelong, Australia, to Calgary, Canada, but I have also had to pleasure to live for years in Malaysia, Scotland, and The Netherlands.
As they tend to say in introductions "Share something about yourself not a lot of people know."... Well, I was wearing a skirt when I got married. There you go, if that is not openness and vulnerability, then what is?
loser-sign
Anyway, glad to be here, and looking forward to sharing Japanese watch related and other stories with all of you!
Cheers, Sander.

Good of you to make the effort Hobbes Thanks, mate! a063 As the great Samuel Johnson once said “What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.” (Note he was posthumously diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome, so he might have chucked in another couple of words, to be honest...) |

Welcome to the forum and as my first entry to this new forum I'd also like to welcome you to Calgary. Sure hope you did not get flooded out! 224mm of rain in 36hrs is not the norm in these parts, thankfully.

Thanks, Tim, much appreciated! And thanks, Russ - it's an honour that you spend your first post welcoming me, so  .gifto you as well! We found Calgarians to be a truly welcoming bunch! First time in my life I have lived significantly above sea-level (first 30 years of my life were actually below sea level), and we get a flood! Thankfully we live in NW (close to Confederation Park), so have been spared the worst part of the floods... We did have some evacuees staying with us, luckily for them they were able to return to Eau Claire again this afternoon. Hope the same goes for you, Russ, hope you and your family are well and you experienced no damage to your belongings? |
