I have learned to be extra careful with tiny screws and parts. The floor at my office is a real tight commercial carpet and my at home “office” is a high pile regular residential carpet. Screws get lost in that forest!

After 3 or so years of not logging in to the forum, I realized the old HF and my old account was gone. Now I'm here on a new account, backreading, seeing familiar names and faces. :P

Am not sure what Covid have change me but I am sure that it have definately change our community at this point of time!

I am seeing a return of the Jedi .

It looks like many members of the past have started posting again.

irate03 is coming back with his dial work,

Elias has come back with a vengeance on his limited series Buckle after many years,

daevildog has started his fast & furious build after a real while,

Akvanautas finished his highend MM build after a long absent.

Southy start commenting his fantasy Pam alarm and repeated creation he have build many years back,

Madantique passionately building with his Foursome(4 movements) projects

Emilio finishes up his 8 years worth of projects in a brink,

Tanukjaju having fun commenting everydays now, LOL.

And many old timer that I may not know and misses out.

I do see this as a positive sign for this community of watch lovers/ hobbyists/ fanatics or enthusiasts.

Hoping that the forum will continue to prosperous and everyone are having fun enjoying this hobby!

Cheers.
