Today 7 of us PuristS in Singapore gathered for a lunch (again organized rather last min lol)

Here are some shots to share. Again a great time with very nice food, view on level 63 on a club, nice watches (thank God not Lange dominated again!) and of course the great PuristS spirit.

I brought the Reverso Rouge to tempt Stefan lol
His Chopard LUC wowed us!
There was also a lover Moser Mayu LE Japan edition woah! And the Langes from yming! Grand Seiko, VC Traditionelle, PP Nautilus and some vintages

Also the newly launch Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Dual Time (I just posted a review of this 2015 novelty on the Montblanc forum).

Cheers
Robin

Key Points from the Discussion

The Chopard L.U.C Qualité Fleurier (QF) models, while vintage in style, are relatively modern, with the QF standard introduced only ten years prior to the post.
The vintage style of L.U.C QF watches pays homage to Chopard's historical pieces from the 1940s and 1950s, preserved in the L.U.C Geneva Museum.
The Singapore PuristS community is noted for its frequent meetings and the impressive number of watches brought by attendees.
The Chopard L.U.C movement with the QF seal is highly regarded for its exceptional finishing, even when concealed by a closed case back.
The gathering provided an opportunity to compare different generations of A. Lange & Söhne Datograph models and appreciate vintage Chopard and Moser pieces.
The community expresses a strong interest in seeing more of Stefan's vintage watch collection at future meetups.
There is a shared sentiment among collectors about the 'slippery slope' of collecting vintage watches, acknowledging its addictive nature.

Vintage "style" Chopard

yming, Thanks for the photos from the GTG. The L.U.C QF (Qualite Fleurier) is only vintage "style" but actually not that old. QF was introduced 10 years ago and Stefan's watch may be version 3 or 4, so it is considerably younger. The vintage style is a nod to some old watches (1940s and 1950s) in the L.U.C. Geneva Museum. Whatever the age, the style is gorgeous. Regards, MTF
