Random chat thread

[luke gtr]

Yo!

On another forum I frequent (SAU) we have a general **** post chat thread. Literally chatting about anything and everything.

Didn't think I could get away with the name of the thread here, and didn't want to push the boundaries.

From these threads, I have made life long friends, and hope to do the same here.

In its prime(long gone) we would generally grt through 1000 pages, or 20k posts in under 6 months.

Anyway, a little about myself to get things rolling.
I'm Luke.
I'm a mechanic (unfortunately)
Live in the Snowy mountains area of NSW.
Love cars, watches, scuba and snow boarding.

Looking forward to getting to know others too!

Cheers 🍻

Hey stu, your business sound a little niche(but, I'm not really anywhere near that trade). Do you only do the software?
Or, do you supply and maintain hardware as well?

Also, what's the significance of your user name?

Hey Pickles.
Man, I wish I could 1, afford an omega, and 2, like their size on my wrist.
I've got an 8" wrist, which I didn't realise was so big until I started looking into it.
And really narrowed down what I like to bigger watches.
I don't really like dipping below a 44mm case size, and even then, feels a little small.
Any pics of the watch?

Any plans for the rest of the long weekend?

I'm James, I'm in the Blue Mountains. Mech. Engineer product development background and worked in factories for yonks. Now help an exec team in a NFP.

I have an Omega Planet Ocean 40mm bezel. The 44mm looked a little overwhelming for my wrist. Good for 600m but the only time it's touched water was when I clean it under a tap.

Hey Luke, yeah, no many in Australia doing what we do.
Our business is small, but has all the major telco's, all of Defence, banks, gov departments etc and some small ones.
We sell the software, install, support, train, import records, site audits as well. We also sell some of the associated hardware (PDU's/ILM's and sensors)..

I started work there over 15 years ago, then bought the company about 2 years ago Nothing like being your own boss!

Jnrdavo.... That's because my older brother is Davo (Senior)... thus, me.... jnr davo..


I've got a Breitling {something}.. Not really sure of the model without looking at the manual. It doesn't get worn that much, just when going out somewhere fancy, or dressing up (not often!). It's a bit 'small', but was a special 'model' when I purchased it, which was a few days after I got handed my divorce papers... went out and purchased something the same day to ease the pain, then sunk a few bottles to drown the pain....

im hoping(and guessing) you make some custom parts to mod your car?
blue mountains are gorgeous.
i originally hail from penrith, so grew up staring at them.

have seen a planet ocean in a 45mm which i would love to own.
maybe one day....
