Key Points from the Discussion

Collecting watches from a specific birth year, such as 1964, is a popular and rewarding theme among enthusiasts, often leading to diverse collections of models from that period.
The discussion around forming a 'Purists64' club for collectors born in 1964 highlights the community aspect and shared interests within watch collecting.
The author shares his simple yet effective photography setup, using a white paper box, a garage lamp with baking paper, and an old Canon Powershot S2IS with supermacro, demonstrating that high-quality watch photography doesn't require expensive equipment.
The concept of an 'amicale' (a more exclusive, snobbish association) versus a broader 'association' for watch collectors was debated, touching on the social dynamics of enthusiast groups.

Yep

Great year as far as I am concerned. Rather than an association I suggest that we create an "amicale', in this manner we can be more picky about the choice of members. Best regards, George

but George, if your a purist born in 1964 then you will be a member, you cant exclude someone who fits the 2 conditions best from the excluded member Graham

Agreed

Far from me to want to exclude a Purist. What a horrible thought. However, you could conceive that people that were not born in 1964 and that are not Purists, but who admire people that combined these two caracter traits would want to join. In an association you would have to take them on board (rightfully so), but not in an "amicale". An amical is more exclusive, a little snobish maybe. Hey I will follow the flow. Best regards, George

How about 10 years before or after?

That way I can play But then again, Groucho Marx said it best: "PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER". This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2010-12-12 15:22:30
