Hola from UK. New member

[snootydog]

Hi,new member here from England. I hope you guys can understand English better than i understand Spanish.
I am a member of a few watch forums but my main forum is the DWC (Dive Watch Connection),some of you are members there too i think.
I have seriously been collecting watches since 2007 and got my 'grail' watch for my 50th birthday from "Ideal" in Tenerife,my Omega Speedmaster Pro :.
Most of my watches are Dive watches although the deepest they ever get is the bottom of a swimming pool when we holiday twice a year in Tenerife . (anyone near Porto Colon/San Eugenio,Las Americas?)
Probably my favourite dive watches are Doxa,i have a 750T (i love anything 'orange')and a NUMA.
My most recent purchase is a Helson Tortuga and i am very impressed with it :
So,here are some of my watches.

Hi snootydog,

Nice Tortuga! I love Henson watches, but I can't afford 45/46mm in my wrist. All their models have this size. I wonder if they will keep in mind a 42mm versions someday.

Greetings

Hola de nuevo. Este traducir Google podría ser muy útil. Yo escribo en Inglés y lo copia en español.
Si el reloj entra en una pinta de cerveza Dorada puede disintergrate, pero en una pinta de San Miguel estaría bien.
Debo aprender español con facilidad porque mi bisabuela, o tal vez un gran bisabuela era el español, esto sería en algún momento del siglo 19, así que no sé nada de que en España era de. Mi madre fue nombrado después de que su "Juanita".
Sería muy interesante saber que mi ancestro español era.
Realmente espero que esta traducción de Google tiene sentido.

-Andy

How does it compare?
Hello again. This Google translate could be very useful. I write in English and it copies into Spanish.
If my watch goes into a pint of Dorada beer it may disintergrate but into a pint of San Miguel would be ok.
I should learn Spanish easily because my Great Grandmother,or maybe great great Grandmother was Spanish,this would be sometime in the 19th century so i know nothing of where in Spain she was from. My Mother was named after her 'Juanita'.
It would be very interesting to find out where my Spanish ancestor was from.
I really hope this Google translation makes sense.

Do you know her surname? If her surname wasn't a typical spanish surname (Jimenez, Gomez, Rodriguez, xxxxx-ez...) is possible that you could find some info from internet.

Unfortunately i have no idea of my Spanish ancestors surname. I would need to trace back from my Grandmothers maiden name which was 'Corder'. My Grandmother who also had a Spanish name 'Rosetta' was born in 1898 so how did an Englishman meet a Spanish girl (my Great Grandmother) in the early or mid 1800's? I have a theory that he may have been a soldier during the Napolionic wars,or sailor possibly,after all,we didnt come to Spain on holiday back then. All very interesting,i love history.
