Hi all,

Oh yes!! I missed a lot TRF.
Nearly eight months disconnected and many things in my life changed (positively). Been very busy: moved to France, organising my old job in Ibiza, getting a new job in France, learning French, adapting myself to the new country, starting the project of my new house, collaborating with a small watch company for watch repairing, connecting with our new neighbours, rebuilding my office and working bench, lots of new watches to repair...I did not expect it to take me so long (Not finished yet).
Luckily everything is going well, in good health after an accident in March which practically destroyed my left knee.
Now would like to connect again with TRF and try to contribute as much as possible in the forum. Sad this year was not possible to attend Vegas GTG but will try my best to do it in 2019.
Thanks all for reading and let's meet up at TRF!!
Carlos.

Oh my knee...now is getting better. Just a pair of weeks ago started walking without stick. Sometimes pain is horrible but now is not so hard. Thanks for asking!
