Small number compared to a lot of Purists here :-)

Rather unmanageable once we get beyond 12, speaking from my own personal opinion.

Dear fellows It's Friday September 1st in Kiritimati, Christmas Island, Kiribati... so for all our Purist friends from there that are eagerly waiting for new POTM installation I have immense pride and you to present you RichardN our long time member. Once...

Is one, among others, that I would like to know face-to-face. Long time that I don't travel to the gorgeous Malaysia (love the people and their food). His taste is very fine and his pictures shows it. Congratulations for your answers and cheers to Dr. D. ...
Wonderful to read you here, Richard!

thanks for the insight and getting to know you a bit more. I like the development you have taken and I think it is going in the right direction. Less watches, but killer pieces. CC
Thank you very much for sharing about yourself

In my opinion, these interviews really help us to understand one another - filling in the missing pieces and rounding out our impressions of each other. It was nice of you to give those Seiko 5s to you kids - even if they don't become WISs ... Cheers, Caz...
Yes, we do

I missed the opportunity when you were last in Singapore but will look for another opportunity
Thanks for the accolades, Gordon :-)

Our GTG's have always been fun, especially learning from you on how to appreciate the art pieces which my engineering mind take a lot of trouble to adjust to.
Great to read about you Richard!

and amazing pics too! Love that Panoinverse. Fantastic to learn more about our crew, thank you dear Damjan for taking the time to do this and of course to you Richard for sharing with us all. Cheers Andrew
Thanks, Andrew.

The Panoinverse is a very alluring watch
Thank you, Richard, for sharing these insights into yourself!

You are blessed with your wife who supports your madness so much that she saves for a year to give you a Reverso even if she - at least I read it like that - is not infected herself. A pity you reduced your GOs to one. But I understand what you write abou...
She is a gem :-)

And yes, I do like GO a lot as a manufacturer - I just sometimes wonder why the service is so poor when compared to the immaculate watches they build. The frustration of service and repair was too much to bear.
I understand you well.

I have been put to the test also and I was on the verge of turning my back on GO too. But I was too much a fan of the people at Glashütte and their products for giving up. Finally my issues were sorted out to my fullest satisfaction. But I never understoo...
I had the same dilemma when I bought this
By: rnaden : September 2nd, 2017-07:45
The Lunar was equally attractive...my eventual reasoning was that the PI just looked different from everything out there. There are already off center dials, at least more than an inverted movement with an off center dial. The big date and moon phase also...
What a great post!

I've always liked your Panoinverse, and if ever they made a smaller version, I'd be in the queue for it. I've unfortunately never had a chance to meet you at our GTGs, but I've always enjoyed your thoughts and comments on our WA group. And I like Alkiro's...
Hello Richard!! How nice to get to know more about you and...

your personal approach to watch collecting! I enjoyed so much reading and as in previous POTM editions it makes me desire to meet you in person some day! I hope you'll keep enjoying your watches in good health as well as enjoying your nice Family as this ...
It is a pleasure, my friend

As you, I do hope that one day we'll be able to meet in person. Glad to be able to contribute in this small way, and a big thanks to our one and only Mr D for the privilege.
