Howdy fellow PuristS of the Horological Shire, this is somewhat a aggrandizement post as it is a sentimental one. Today, I celebrate 10th year on Puristspro. I actually joined the old PuristS forum in 2003/4, and was roped in by Dr. Bernard Cheong, a form...

It is great to read your memoirs, however I think they are written only half way through your lifetime and plenty more to come I am sure... maybe this is just the first chapter? Thank you for the honourable orange mention... next time I see you I will cro...

What a post and what a guy
By: alphabeta81 : November 14th, 2017-11:00
We have never met but your past posts have influenced my collecting. Love the playful and down to earth nature you have, despite having the "toys and collection" that would inflate an ego. Great post and congrats on 10
Did you see this, Blomman?!?!

I believe it's a good collection, In terms of diversity....
By: Hororgasm : November 18th, 2017-11:29
But it falls short on some key metrics, that I have seen in other collections. Like HTSE's ensemble of militaries above. Some collectors friends if mine have a full vintage Rolex line up or some crazy number of Pateks. Nevertheless, I am most grateful for...
Thanks a lot for this superb post Kevin!
By: foversta : November 14th, 2017-12:11

I pray so too

Hi Ronald... Been a while
By: Hororgasm : November 16th, 2017-12:02
You have been on the Purists as long as, if not longer, then me. This August forum has evolved over time.... Substance and layouts. and people come and go, sadly some so not return. I miss many of the old faces. But so good to have you lasting with us all...
Happy anniversary!!
By: eklektik : November 15th, 2017-13:13

By: FanFrancisco : November 16th, 2017-08:17

By: Tavio_George : November 20th, 2017-12:32
my others are a BLNR (I didn't see it your pics but it's possible you may have that as well!) and a PAM 000 (the watch that started my personal journey). Glad to see people like you having so much fun with this hobby...and keeping a very good perspective ...
Snoopy n 2998 are great choices.
By: Hororgasm : November 21st, 2017-13:24
I actually have two 2998, because both places I ordered the watch came thru with it. 😳 Best, Horo
Still reading you, Horo...

Just curious, has the thought of selling a few or "consolidating" ever cross your mind?
