ThaiDive 3T WIS

Hello all. I am an American expatriate living in Bangkok, late of Southern California. My wife, kids, and I moved here in 2008 as refugees from the tanking economy. Ours is an all too common tale. The ravenous recession ate virtually all of our earthly possessions: job, house, cars, meager 401k, savings, etc. etc. All but one thing really. My watches. I have been an avid WIS for some time. So, when all seemed darkest, I liquidated most of my collection, took that stake and started a business here in Bangkok. The rest is pretty much a fairy tale: business is small but growing, the family is happy again (very rough thing to move out of the country though), great massages for under $6, 1 hour away from great diving, nice standard of living, fabulous massages, and I'm slowly getting back into the watch game. Did I mention the massages? Anyway, my taste in watches has evolved from blingy to chunky. Current lineup: Anonimo Militare Anonimo Millimetre Trilogeo Anonimo Wayfafer II Doxa Sub 600 T-Graph Sinn 757 Sinn U2 Nauticfish 1000 Seiko FrankenMonster Benarus Worldtimer GMT (on the very soon I hope....) Seems that what I thought was a curse, turned out to be quite a blessing. Thanks for reading. Jeff |

Great collection. I have the Sinn U1 and Naticfish One Thousand and just this week got the Benarus 1km. By the way, I am told that the massages are great in Bangkok. Any truth to that? Joe Last edited on Wed Mar 3rd, 2010 07:09 pm by jstroh |

Welcome Jeff! Yes, it's not easy to start all over but it's allways possible: Many sad stories takes a new and really good turn like that;) Post pictures of your watches if they are not too oiled by the massages:D |
