It is with great pride and joy that I am able to announce that as of today I will be under the full time employment of Andrew Michaels Jewellers.

Many of you may think I was already working for them because of the numerous reviews I have written for them in the past. However, I was producing these reviews simply to help Andrew Michaels out because I believed that they were a true breath of fresh air in the Authorised Dealership market and I wanted to give them my support.

I have, in fact, been an electronic engineer for the last 24 years.

So, when Sam confronted me a little while ago with the idea of working for them full time I simply said "When can I start?".

I'm sure many of you can empathise with the fact that I have always thought, when I was in a high end watch dealers "I want your job". To be involved in the hobby that you truly love as employment is a dream come true for me.

So, as a result, I would be happy to offer myself on this forum as a first point of contact for anyone interested in Andrew Michaels' services and products.

Please look out for our brand new Ecommerce website that should be launced in about 2 months time and will allow us to promote the incredible depth of second hand timepieces that Andrew Michaels have accumulated.

I would like to thank you all for the considerable support that you have given myself and Andrew Micheals in the past.

Many many congratulations Ricardo! There are very few people who can say they are doing a job they truly love, so in that regard I am very envious! I always think the acid test is to ask yourself the question "if you didn't have to get paid, would you still do your job for free?". In your case I guess the answer would be a resounding YES! Congrats again.

That's awesome ricardo, huge congrats.

And as Roff said, the most important is that you'll get to do what you're passionate about. AND you'll do it for a living.

Enjoy every minute of it.

Big congrats, Ricardo! Sam and Andrew are without a doubt the best AD in the country and I'm sure you'll bring much more to an already strong team.

Looking forward to the new E-commerce site!
