Hello from South Africa

[Ramone]

Hello everyone 

My name is Ramone and I've been hooked on watches ever since I've opened up the back of my dad's CAMY automatic watch when I was 10 years old (scratched the back In the process :)).)  

It was like looking into a tiny universe!  

I'm new to watch repair and would love to absorb everything I can 

I am 28 years old and a firefighter, my days off I spend tinkering with watches, mechanical and quartz 

I'm looking forward to learning from you guys 

Thank you 

Ramone

Thank you Yankeedog, yeah I am a firefighter, a different world from the horology world
