    Hi guys! I’ve been in Calibre11 forum for quite sometime now. And most of you may know, I consider you as my good friend (albeit online :)) Anyone who shares the same zeal and passion for TAG Heuer as mine is a good friend to me since we live and breath the same, TAG Heuer. Been a fan of sir DC’s TH articles since the inception of Calibre11 back in 2009 and where coincidentally, I started my TAG Heuer journey when I bought my first TAG Heuer Aquaracer in 2010. I’ve reached out to a number of you through PMs and all of whom are very kind to me. Thank You! I’m just intrigued where everyone is from? Especially to all who do daily visits and hangout here in Calibre 11. I’ve come to know more of you through our virtual sharing and interactions through the years. ;)

    I know sir DC @Calibre11 is from Australia. Also sir Anthony @Anthony.R & @Mr_Orange .
    Both sir @Hubert & @Albert-AMG are from Barcelona Spain.
    Sir @Pitfitter446, sir @imagwai, sir @ASW & my THE idol sir Rob @Aquagraph are from the UK.
    Sir @Snowy is from Japan and sir Otto @OttoWilliam is from Indonesia.
    Sir Jimmy the holy silver @Jim Dollares is from Sweden & sir @Remo is from Switzerland. @Tag_ZA is from South Africa.
    Sir @Mspeedster @ sir @abrod520 & sir @Ara are from the US.
    Sir @heuerholic is from NZ. Sir @Yago is from Belgium.
    I think sir @VirgileF is from France? ::confused2:: I know we also have TAG Heuer collectors and enthusiasts in South America.

    I’m Doc Jaypes @kappa_md by the way and I’m from Manila, Philippines :cool:

    Sorry if I forgot to mention or don’t really know where the others are from / located :D Anyone can just add your location here and be amazed by the global reach of our forum among TAG Heuer fans, enthusiasts & collectors alike ::rimshot::

    PS: calling someone “sir” is part of our way of giving our respect :thumbsup:

    It’s a tight gang of nerds.
    If any of you fine people coming to California to experience our fabulous earthquakes, give me a head up…
    so I can skip town.

    It has been a pleasure chatting with you gentlemen.

    Can’t thanks @abrod520 enough for answer my thousand questions so I can nail down a 1133B. You rock Adam. Thanks a million.

    Well done Kappa.
    A small correction on my background; while indeed my family from my mother's side is Catalan, I was born in the new world and live in the US. :)

    I'm in New York, which culturally shares about as much with the rest of the US as the United Kingdom does :p (And yes my personal experience supports that!)

    Aw, you're welcome man :thumbsup: All the mesmerizing photos of your lovely Monaco are thanks enough ;)

    I only order Dos Cervesa, if she doesn’t want it, it gets a good home with me.

    Is there another more slang name for beer in Spain?

    Not going to complain about the poor weather today now, it’s cold but not cold.

    Cervesa is in Catalan, and it’s just one. If you want two of them, then you order 'dos cerveses'

    'Una cerveza'(1) or 'dos cervezas'(2) in Spanish… and ‘una birra’ / ‘dos birras', or 'una caña' / 'dos cañas' are more slang names :thumbsup:
