Feels like home already!

Hello to ALL,

The name is Marcello Gustavo Torres, hence MarcelloGT; I hail from Niteroi in Brazil, a city of some half-million souls next to Rio de Janeiro and have been into Watches ever since I remember being awake; 40+ years later, I am still more of a hunter-gatherer than a true collector, but learn something new every single day.

That is indeed my sincere intention here; learn from the esteemed company and in due time, IF all is well and settled with the parts that be, become a full-fledged member of the Brethren.

Until then, here's hoping I am able to!

Cheers,

Marcello GT

How did someone in Brazil come to have such excellent English? Are you a Yank or just a cunning linguist?

Welcome to the forum..Glad you joined..Enjoy

To Docrwm,

Running the considerable risk of coming under the wrath of the Mods already, I'd love to say that I am more of a cunnilinguist than anything! But I digress - perilously so!

Nah, actually I had the very good fortune of a 12 years' British English education, along with an year or so as an exchange student deep in the woods of the good ole Alabama, sir! Add to that a lifelong commitment to getting the message across as clear as possible, shake it -don't stir!- and the result is yours truly, a honest-to-God-but-unbigoted transplanted redneck.
