Thanks, all your posts and pictures brought a tear to my eye...
As all of you know, AP held, holds, and will continue to hold a special place in my heart and soul, just as the AP forum, which started it all for ThePuristS, will always hold a special place in my life.
The man who gave his blessing and support to start this forum with official recognition, when I first approached him about it so many years ago, today leads AP globally (bravo, Francois Henry Bennahmias - these strange turbulent times needed a strong visionary leader like you) - it has been a wonderful, amazing journey, hasn't it?
Thanks to all AP forum readers, participants, and supporters - without you there is no raison d'etre.
And yes, the watch I hope to accompany me through all eternity is a certain AP that will help me mark the passing of time with its beautiful ting tang notes...an AP to the core.
Cheers, my friends...
