Moved to arizona!!!!
Hey everyone,
I wanted to thank everyone for their support and care. My family and I have to moved to Arizona to start a new chapter in our life. I have spoken with several collectors out here and hope to meet many more through local watch gatherings. We are living east of Phoenix, in Mesa and are fully moved in and operational. I appreciate everyone on this forum and hope all stay safe during these abnormal times.

Congratulations hope it becomes a smooth transition. The new Home HoneyMoon is cool till the unpacking begins. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets, Grand Canyon, abundance of sun along with clear skies and everything else great there you will experience. Don’t let them tell you the pizza is better than New York because there lying. Oh ya, watch out for the damn rattlesnakes, there’s a lot of them. Here’s to you and your family to what will become another great chapter of your lives.

Many years ago I visited Phoenix. I stopped in the official AZ tourist office and the woman told me Arizona has wonderful weather ..... nine months out of the year.
You didn't mention, are you retiring cold turkey or still doing some work? |

Welcome to AZ Phillip. Great to know I now have a great watch maker 90 minutes away.
Let me know if you ever want to explore that “big hole” to the North of you.

You didn't mention, are you retiring cold turkey or still doing some work?[/QUOTE I am eager to see what lies ahead after the summer time. Absolutely, I am still taking in work as I hopefully have many years ahead of me. Watchmaking usually is not a field in which one retires from...as I am sure as long as my hands are steady - I will be at the bench.
