Possible "Gifts" to forum members: A hypothetical post
By: Cookies : September 21st, 2021-05:34
The goal of this post is to see if you can get the mindset and ideals distilled into a piece for another forum member. I hope you enjoy it. I find that watches make very meaningful gifts for loved ones, business associates etc. In this post, I'd like to e...
What a novel idea 😁.

I’ll add a few - cookies: Charles Frodsham Double Impulse chronometer. He recently confessed/submitted that a dress piece is what he needs best. And this combines all the movement-tech and material-use to keep his incoming thread lengthy and informative -...
Wow I didn’t know of this house
By: Cookies : September 21st, 2021-06:44
Went to check it out and was blown away. It uses old methods to make modern pieces. Indeed, the choice is highly interesting. Yes I need a dress piece for sure. I like the choices for Sham1 and AmisE too.
Yes we were too late to the party

There must be more makers like that coming up. Thing is, I have not been able to venture into the 80k and beyond arena which these type of makers charge for their masterpieces. I was late to Sarpaneva too. Should have taken a trip to Kuala Lumpur a decade...
I think I will write a post on this

Based on a condensation (summary) of what is know of this masterpiece. Watching the video now on it.
He was here many years ago

Used to be so active in his posts. Together with Kong, Forvesta, Anthony Tsai etc.

You always push the envelope, my friend. Hell, you don’t just push it, you make paper planes 🤣🤣🤣
I’ll take that AP “the beast” and wear it with pride.

There’s a famous arab saying that a gift should neither be gifted to someone else, not sold. And a gift from a fellow purist would be the centerpiece of my collection. I’d still b%#*h and moan about the modular chrono and the date and and and…🤣🤣🤣 ...
I need a winder myself

A variable speed winder that can wind 4 watches at once. Hint hint to Santa

I wish i had that oddball piece.

My heart likes Rolex, but I’m in a strange conundrum. I don’t like how the brand is treating the customers - they basically made watch collectors lose their pride/dignity to seek their pieces. My experience of buying an AK and trying to get it authenticat...

If it have an automatic movement, it’s perfect. Why? One quartz watch is enough for me, or… it must be more Longines Conquests quartz watches, or a Rolex Oyster quartz. There is room for a Girard Perregaux Laureato quartz 40th edition, so you’ve got it ri...

You know my new dream
By: Cookies : September 22nd, 2021-02:51
It is to fully restore an IWC mark 12, and wear it like it is brand new. This hobby doesn’t only involve expensive pieces. Like Nico does, it has an element of heritage and effort. Anyone can spend money (even a chimpanzee can buy an AP ROO) - what separa...

I did give away watches to my buddies, because I know I won’t live forever. Nothing major, just in the 3k ballpark.
I’d like to admit
By: Cookies : September 23rd, 2021-00:54
In the past, i did incur debt to get pieces I like. It spiralled out of control with the purchase of 1 piece. Now, life has given more. No more debts on compounding credit card interests or credit card usage. The AD gives better prices for cash/bank trans...

This was before all the hype about mickey watches. There was a time when they just released novel pieces and purchasing one was just making a call, filling up a form, and making a payment. Those times are not here anymore. I wanted to get the Kurono turqu...
