Q:Why did you made this site?
A:
Around
1993 I received a Raketa 24 hour watch as a present.
I was hooked on first site. When is became clear -just by sweating-that
my Raketa
wasn't
waterproof I went to the watch store to buy me a good 24 hour watch.
You
can imagine how bewildered I was to learn that there where none for
sale.
Most of the time they
didn't even understand what I was talking about.
So that's when my quest began, resulting into this site.
First page on the NeT in 1998
Have fun with it ! |
