Indohorology celebrates his MB&F Horological Machine No. 4 'Thunderbolt' acquisition, sharing photos and the joy of collecting with fellow enthusiasts.

A Thunderbolt just landed in Indonesia... and all the ristis rejoiced together in harmony...

A teaser was out a month ago... and now, it's the time for the real deal! I really want to thank you Max Busser for ever creating such a mind-blowing Horological Machine, Steve (SteveH) for giving me the best opportunity to make my dreams come true, and Horace (H2FInally) for getting this "ought to be troublesome" transaction done ever smoothly.

I woke up this morning with a thanksgiving, knowing that i am blessed man who had both the privilege and the "luck" to acquire such a magnificent machine. Many ordinary people would say that I am an irrational man for spending adequate amount of my fortunes on watches, but indeed, i am grateful knowing that i have this small circle of crazy friends that shares the same interest and passion about horology as much as i do. A small and simple welcoming party was held yesterday to celebrate the incoming of the first Thunderbolt in our community.

I'm not so good with words, so just enjoy the rest of the photos taken from my Iphone and M9p.

These 2 Rb2'es were among the first ones to greet and meet the newest member of the horology family.

Shortly after that, another gentleman with RB2 RG joined the party... what a sight...

A double wrist shot ... Ap Rb2 RG has been in my wishlist for quite a time for now... i hope i would have one for myself in the near future...

Of course, i was tempted to try to put it on my own wrist... and voilaaa.... it looks like the piece is destined to be made for me...

It's so happy to see many happy faces that night....

Some avid indoristi Panerai collectors were present as well....

Hm4 was truly the shinning star of that night, and everybody wanted a piece of it....

We talked for hours about watches, cars, business, laws, politics.. about life... and i suddenly realized that without these people, i wouldn't be the man i am today... a total watch geek!

I won't be writing about the technical stuffs since some other watch connoisseurs had done before in this forum, and believe me... their opinions are much more reliable than mine=)
