hauspro Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 hahaha as female as it gets. At first i was nervous to post that (this hobby seems to be pretty man heavy) but so far i have run into nothing but gentleman. Plus i figured no guy here in a watch forum is going to be more rude then the guys who come up to me at shows so what the heck! so far i feel pretty welcomed by the rep communities Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Q'uyana huaspro! Sounds like you jumped in with both feet. I'm glad the guys are being gentlemen, I'd expect nothing less, they're a great bunch. What part of the Great Land are you from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Y'know, that WAS an underhanded dig at gentlemen everywhere. There's another Alaskan here too, from Squarebanks... his handle is AKTime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another Alaskan here too, from Squarebanks... his handle is AKTime. maybe we have already met and don't even know it! Im in Valdez, and work for Stan Stephens Wildlife & Glacier Cruises. Seeing hundreds of different tourists a day makes for some great watch gawking, can't tell you how often our captains tell me stop talking about some guy on the bow wearing a Sub....

Nanuq Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 "Valdez, a quaint drinking village with a fishing problem." I should tell you the story about chucking a Paul's Best Seadweller off the deck of the Resurrection Bay glacier cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi and welcome to the forum from the somewhat hotter south. Liked the part about the 40 open tabs & fun stress levels. This will get better when they all arrive. Stay around and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Sorry hauspro, I haven't been to VDZ in years! But if I do I'll be sporting a gnarly gilt Big Crown and a big smile. Can't miss me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Look at us. One female joins our ranks and we're all a tizzy like bees round a honey pot. Ahem. May I take this opportunity to welcome you aboard, in a proper, English, gentlemanly fasion. Greetings from London. How do you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hey DP, that ain't gonna get you a free ticket to her boat. That's not how we roll here in Alaska. Show up with a 6-pack of Alaskan Amber...... now your chances are looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Never seen so many replies to a new member. It must be the Alaskan origin.. Welcome from Italy too (32°C right now near Verona, Romeo&Juliet city) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 32°C ???? Holy crap. It was 35°F driving to work this morning! We had snow last week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Yeah, a bit hot these days But the 25°C at night is ok to sleep good with just a blanket Perfect for an evening visit to Mantova (I'm here around for work, but nothing is keeping me closed in the hotel in the eve): (this picture just because I'm jealous of your landscapes!)

hauspro Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Gentleman, let it be known I prefer Silver Gulch Brewed beers to Alaska Amber any day. Sorry for the call out then @Nanuq, had a guy mention something about my watch in the office and he was from AK. Then he reviewed our company on TripAdvisor and his name was Nanuq24 so I was like hmmm..... Maybe someday, any rep lovers end up in my neck of the woods let me know would love to see your beautiful watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ooooooo a Silver Gulch kinda girl huh? Do they make a nice sharp IPA? What a crazy coincidence, some honyok using MY nickname, and he's into watches too? If I ever get to VDZ I'll be sure to drop by your boat, I'm the tall ugly one that likes watches!
