Here's a quote for you Nico.

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
My favorite novella by Hemingway. It had a big impact on me when I first got a passport and was a dumb tourist. It's funny, since I've gotten active on PPro, when I think of Paris, I associate it with you or sometimes Mark in Paris or sometimes Fx.
Please stop posting pictures of your Rolex 6542, the Blancpain FFs, and most of your chronographs for the next 6-9 months and I will be able to keep my bank account solvent. You're allowed to post World Timers and other dive watches...I know I am not too tempted by those at this time. :-P

As Thanksgiving is quickly drawing upon us, let’s think deeply (or shallow) with my two all-time favorite American writers. What’s the best part of the holidays? The alcohol….um, I mean family. Francis & Papa understand me. Advance thanks to those PuristS...
Again well chosen 👍

The first quote is so true. We all have our “watch mistake(s)” 😊 Best wishes Alkiro
Brilliant, dude.

Great post, my friend. A very enjoyable 5 minutes reading (especially when I'm procrastinating from doing actual work!) Happy (American) Thanksgiving! Alfred (the crazy Canuck who had Thanksgiving back in October)
Hahaha that’s the most poignant (and best) post

I’ve read in a long, long time! Thank you for the inspiration to actually put down what many of us just think in those whimsical moments we all have. Bravo, bravo (and brave at the same time!). Julian
there is a profound message in here!!!

Thank you for the great read and a nice chuckle. From your canuck neighbour (with an "o"), who celebrates Thanksgiving in October before it gets too cold and so we have enough time before Christmas to lose those extra 5 lbs we gained feasting in October.....
haha...welcome another canadian friend

I see you are a man of finer tastes in Lange so the top shelf liquor is down the hall on the left. Avoid the brownies, the rowdier Canucks have laid their paws all over them. 🤣 Now I’m going to have to make room for Habs friends who do not call themselves...
Although I went to McGill in Montreal

I LOVE that the Leafs beat the Habs 6-0 tonight. We hate each other for about 3 hours and then are friends again.... until the next game.
