Anthony Tsai's 2009 post highlights PuristSPro's commitment to philanthropy by auctioning the #1 of 178 PuristSPro All-Black Rescue (PPro ABR) watch. This initiative not only celebrated the community's growth but also channeled collective good fortune towards a chosen children's or medical charity, demonstrating the platform's values beyond horology.
As we all approach the holiday season and the end of the year, PuristSPro would like to take this opportunity to slow down, take a moment, and give thanks for our good fortune. Despite the tough economic conditions, 2009 has been a year of strong growth for PuristSPro. Site traffic continues to grow at a strong consistent rate each month. Through it all, PuristSPro is proud to be a platform to bring people all around the world, sharing common values and interests, closer together.
In the spirit of thanks and to share our good fortune, PuristSPro is offering the #1 of 178 PuristSPro All-Black Rescue (PPro ABR) watch, which has been specially reserved, in a silent auction. The proceeds will be donated to an internationally recognized children's or medical charity of the winning bidder's choosing.
Since the high bidder will be receiving the #1 ABR, the donation will be made under the PuristSPro name, on behalf of the community at large.
We will also include a free black calf leather strap w/ tang buckle.

ONE... #1...numero uno.....well, that's a different question! And for a good cause too....hmmm......silently....... Regards, MTF
Great idea for a worthy cause. Good luck to all bidders! -MW
...instead, to celebrate the generous spirit of PuristS and this auction, I've donated measles vaccines through UNICEF to children in underserved communities. It took two minutes to make the donation online through the UNICEF site. Thanks, Anthony, for organizing this auction for a good cause. I hope everyone is inspired to find the time or funds to support a worthy cause close to their own heart this holiday season.

I'm sure the auction will go well.
