That is a very good question

I will start a new thread asking our fellow community members what they like about PuristSPro.  Yes, PuristSPro is different than ThePuristS, and forums need to evolve over time as that is part of growing the forum and keeping up with the quickly expanding community.  Some have commented to me in the past that ThePuristS was too technical and discussions seemed to be over their heads and they felt afraid to post newbie questions.  What I envision PuristSPro is to be more inviting and have a greater sense of community while keeping ThePuristS overlying foundation and ideals.  Any change from what people are used to at ThePuristS might steer old-timers away but at the same time, draw in new blood; so in the end, the main thing that matters is if both the current moderator team and current active participants are happy.

Also, I also need to add one more thing that the reason why there aren't many replies to the thread is not only because there are so few who own MB watches but it is also my belief that few have actually seen MB watches in person IMO.  Many people in past threads have commented on watches they don't own or have never owned, but I would bet that at least they have seen one in person at an AD, watch gathering, or watch event.  Frankly for me, the only time I've seen an MB watch was when I was at the MB Booth at SIHH last year.  I took pictures at their booth (click here) but did not know anything about them cause there wasn't much discussion about MB in the past here in our forums, and I don't recall seeing any memorable marketing on MB's part in regards to watches to cause me to look them up on the web and find more info about them.

Cheers,
Anthony
