Hello from New Jersey

[Brian3]

Hi, this is my first post so I thought it best to introduce myself to everyone, my name is Brian, originally from Scotland, moved to the states in 2009, I work in a nice jewelry store here in New Jersey with three other watchmakers, I'm fortunate that my store sell and service many nice brands from Rolex to Breitling, Cartier, Baume Mercier and Pateks and we get the opportunity to work on these watches and attend training at their respective service centers, I have been there since 2011 and love every minute of it.

I very much enjoy seeing Marks' videos online and find them very informative and well put together, excited to join this forum to discuss and learn more about this wonderful trade from other members.

Thank you all for accepting my application and I look forward to chatting, learning and sharing information with other members.

Hello Brian, working on such high grade watches is always a delight. Loads of info on here for you. Tell me how do Americans get on with someone with a Scottish accent.

Welcome Brian, My next door neighbor for 12 years was a Glaswegian, we shared many rounds of golf and spirits together, I'm a single malt kinda guy. Look forward to your future posts,

Thanks WileyDave, Glasgow was my neck of the woods, know it very well, strangely enough I came here to the states because of whisky, my wife works for a distillery and was transferred to New York in 2009, love my malts also, love the Balvenie...........and I'm a big golfer, was I your neighbor ?? 

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hello from me Brian,
Excellent that you chose to join us. I can only claim a quarter of Scottish ancestry as it was my grandad who was a proud Scot. Oddly enough his Surname was Paisley.
Cheers,
Vic
