Zabreg1's New Year's post transcends a simple greeting, offering a heartfelt reflection on community, friendship, and the shared passion for horology. His personal anecdotes, including a visit to the Patek Philippe boutique and the introduction of his 'Blue Panda' Omega, underscore the human connections that enrich the watch collecting journey.
May you all have a great year, filled with quality time with your loved ones, lots of luck, happiness, and above all, best of health to all the people that matter in your life. I also wish you new watches, wonderful surprises, and good times.
May we all, as a community, have many GTGs, and meet each other in person to widen our circle of friendship.
It has been a privilege to have finally become a member of this community and to have met some of you in person. I hope to continue this and will do my best to attend as many GTGs as possible.
To all those I have met personally, I want to say that it was truly my pleasure and privilege, as every single one has been a wonderful and warm person that I am happy and proud to have met. I would list you all individually, but there are too many and you know who you are. Thank you all.
At the end, the obligatory watch photo. I have 2.
The watch I will wear tonight, a perpetual calendar as usual, my choice for New Year's eve.

And my latest addition, the very loved CK2988, aka, the Blue Panda.
Once again, best wishes to all Purists around the world. Drink, enjoy and be merry tonight. Tomorrow some of us will be sweating off the poisons.
