Hello Mark,

Are you sure, you have everything in the right place. A new workshop takes a lot of planning

Looking good so far, I am currently re-jigging my workshop so I can do Watch repairs and also get started with level two of your Watch repair course.

A word of encouragement:  I retired and moved into a new home in August of 2005.  I lost my favorite microphone.

Finally purchased a replacement after 3 weeks of searching.

I found the old one last week.

What season is this in Taiwan?

What season is this in Taiwan?

Thailand, coming up towards the rainy season. Bloody hot ATM though.

A break from filming is acceptable, the print your own dial was the one I was eagerly awaiting so no pressure on the next strip and clean. Next week will do.

You're serious?   Must be a bit of culture shock.  Is there a decent tin of Spam available?

Except for the airport, I have never been to Taiwan, But If the weather is anything like the Philippines, it is either the hot season, or the hotter season.

Thailand.

I thought Mark mentioned Taiwan in one of his videos and perhaps mistook it as a joke.

I've not traveled much.  Been in the Rome airport a few times and spent a few weeks in Greece, but never lived anyplace more exotic than Kansas City.  Living in the Ozark hills was culture shock.  You know how far I have to drive to buy anything like decent scotch?  It's a day trip! 

I would love to see the U.K.  Give up my artillery and move there?  I don't think so.

I suspect Mark is having at us.  I suspect he has made so much money off of us he has moved to a large country estate!

Not long been back from Thailand. Love the place. Been 3 times now. Did Island hopping, lot of sea fishing - fresh fish with Thai food every day. The fish we caught we gave excess to t he locals and t he hotel chef cooked meals for 4 for 300Bhat.

Cool! Have a great holiday Mark.

Been here 2 years now and love it. Back to the UK for a 2 week holiday in July - my two lads are graduating Uni.

Great opportunity to get down to London and buy some new kit

Fascinating and exotic.  I am envious of your spirit of adventure!  Some day when time permits, a scenery video would be wonderful to see.

I am after a decent set of second hand main spring winders at a reasonable price. If anyone hears of a set sounding like a bird please let me know. Cheers

I haven't heard any, but if you use Ebay -> Advanced search -> https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=watch+mainspring+winder&LH_PrefLoc=2&_ftrt=901&_sop=15&_dmd=1&_osacat=0&_ipg=200&_ftrv=1&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=watch+mainspring+winder+-covers&_sacat=0
 

Then figure out how loud you want the bird to cheep, and put in your price range, I'm sure you will get something.

However I feel we are hijacking this thread somewhat.

[Colditz]

Many thanks Andy. I'll check it out.

Hi Mark L

Have I read you right, you now live in Thailand? I thought you were native of Uncle Sam.
