Horological Meandering

. . . so please join me in congratulating Moritz on the achievement, not to mention at least a decade of good fellowship. You say pota-to . . . ...  

It is hard to image you like any different than your avatar after all these years. Never change. Best Bill

Here and there I must have sounded for some like the guy in that movie but I think I made up for that "arrogant" behaviour in a few interesting post. Thank you Bill!

It is a very good feeling to be a tiny part of this community.

Thank you for the insights into your collection and thoughts on watches. I liked post most here where history and links between manufacturers are emerging when certain movements are discussed. It has been a while now since we met and hopefully we will be ... 

I particularly like your post on the Ellipse. I learn a lot from you. Best wishes ☺️ Geross

Good to see that you liked them. Yes, the Golden Ellipse ... an eternal love! 😀

and then I met you here! 😀 Thank you for your detailed and captivating explanations, skyeriding and the discussions. At times I felt that a few bits of my knowledge are also knew to you (the "annual" calendar discs of Langes comes to my mind typing this) ... 

I always have it on my list but these crazy people manage to distract me day after day...

A highlight for me was the London gathering in 2015 (if I recollect correctly with a slight hang over today) where many Purists met and where I had the immense pleasure to meet you. Your posts and the words that you use reflect your personality very, very... 

Thank you for your kind words.

It’s been a pleasure having you with us. Looking forward to the next 5000 !

Your idea to search for a Seiko for me was a nice touch.

Your highness, it’s been a pleasure reading most of your 5,000 posts and I truly hope there will be many more to follow

You are one of my favorites on this forum; I very much enjoy reading your posts. Best

I enjoy your views on Pateks also a lot.

Next to your taste in watches, I like your style: one of a few dandies here!

I missed a few opportunities but still hunting...

I missed a steel version "recently".

Jocke, I had the notion that being called a friend by you here is something you do not say just by the way. To have reached this status is cool! When I saw a picture of you and Tony in a GO book, I was such impressed and had a happy feeling that I know th... 

but the cash is not at the momant. A grail is a grail, it should take some time to get it. Din't we meet in London? Or have I mixed up things?

We met at the big London gathering. Regarding a platinum Daymatic, there was a very, very good offer "recently". I thought a moment about it and it was already gone ...

Second, I’m really disappointed to learn that’s only an Avatar. I was honestly holding out hope that was actually you! 😀

. . . Moritz's avatar, too ;-) . . .

I would adopt the style but not the character 😀!

Your collection is über-elegant with many of my grail pieces.

How many web communities can brag of having their own Count? We are all appreciative of your friendship and wonderful posts. To the next 5k!

Thank you for your great job at the AP forum! I look forward to meet you finally when you are visiting Nicolas in Paris again, for instance. That would be a good chance.

Usually when we go camping, my mobile phone does not function at all. I never mind, unless I miss an important moment like congratulating a good friend for a milestone! I will look forward to that meeting for sure ...

rarely able to spend time here. My sincere congratulations to a fine fellow—always kind and positive. Just the sort that keeps this forum civil and collegial. Respect is the byword here, and that's why I've stayed and enjoy each and every visit. Many than... 

That is exactly how I see my fellow Purists here, as people who I respect and like, knowing that I am been seen and treated the same way. Thank you for your kind words that are never too late!

Sorry to have missed this thread whilst I was up sojourning in Alaska. You know we have a whole staff who generate the usage statistics - working around the clock. This guy is dedicated to counting Nico's posts Thanks for adding (pun intended) to this com...  

Purists can be fussy people and very keen on numbers and accurate statistics ... nur THAT much 😀! Thank you Cazalea for this nice congratulation!
