Hi Marc

I have looked at the Island Watch site and you have some great buys there. One of the reasons Aussies deal with your company is the strength of the Australian dollar. We have been at about 70cents US for a long time - at the moment it is at 83cents.

The other reason is that there are so many more good natured, educated adn interested watch freaks in the US than they are here - at least in my experience. And that is a good thing!

I will keep an eye on IW and will be more active in future getting my collection sorted.

Cheers, Marc and thanks for the welcome!

Hi James

Scuba Steve is right - PAM is a nickname for Panerai watches, but it is also part of the model number. Mine is a PAM 063, that dates it as a year 2001 GMT in stainless steel with a Panerai leather strap. It is an absolute tool - and because I travel frequently, the GMT function is actually used! The leather strap was uncomfortable because it caught the hair on my wrist, so I changed it for a stainless steel deployant from the factory. Looks terrific. But being in Australia - less than point 00000000001 percent of people know what it is.

I would like to post a picture here, but tI ried to lift one on my desktop and paste it into the message. Any gurus know how I can do it - the icon in the message reply box wants me to list an http:// address. Not sure how...

And of course, Pam is still a girl's name!

Have a great day, James and I look forward to chatting more in future.

Hey Marc

It is twilight zone here compared to there, isn't it. Yes - it has just turned 11-30am here in Perth on Wednesday 15th August. It is the middle of winter here. It is raining intermittently and the temp is about 17 degrees C today. Not a bad day ahead, but some warmer weather would be nice.

I hope the weak USD gives you some more work - you service the horological community and you deserve it cos you are much more than just another retailer. Over time - people recognise quality companies for what they are.

All the fuss in our financial markets seems to be in reaction to the problems with the US sub-prime mortgage market - it has made the rest of the world a bit jittery.

Anyway, have a good rest - we will probably swap stories again (your) tomorrow. Oh and when you wake up - I will probably still be working...

Cheers! Ian

Hi oagaspar

What a welcome this site has given me! It has been fantastic.

I have read your posts with a lot of interest, and I hope to be a better citizen on the site by buying and interacting more in future. As a recent Orsa convert - and hopefully on the list for the Sept/Oct release of the blue Monstrum - I am in watchlover heaven here on 3T. Pity I snoozed and lost on the black 3T SeaAngler that you guys have had such a blast with. I remember seeing a watch-box shot of your SeaAnglers in a photo you posted a while back - that was just cruel! I will not snooze again...

We really are "down under" here in Australia, aren't we? But only in comparison to you guys "up over" there!

Thanks for the message!

Ian

Hi Skipdawg

You're right - it is weird, no?

I just realised that I come from the future......

Have a great day in beautiful Washington!

Well, I guess I'll say good morning/evening then!

You're off to a good start. . . post often!
