Mech celebrates 999 posts with a teaser, revealing his vintage Rolex GMT-Master 1675. Explore his collection and community appreciation.

Mech celebrates his 999th post on WatchProSite with a charming 'teaser' of his humble collection, featuring a vintage Agfa camera and a 1998 Pepsi mini-can. This post not only marks a significant milestone in his forum contributions but also sets the stage for a reveal of his horological treasures, reflecting the diverse collecting passions within the community.

I have enjoyed this forum for years and didn't realise I could stick around for so long!!!! (now, don't compare mine to Nico's obscene number of posts, he's insane, though without him, life is less meaningful in the WISDOM..

)

with my 999th post, perhaps I shall share a humble collection of mine....

A vintage Afga and a vintage Pepsi 150ml mini can (dated 1998...!). Both of which were acquired by me when I was in England, though years apart.

Thank you to all who so willingly share your passion and expertise here. I'm sure to hang around to make 9999th in no time

cheers

Mech.

Can't imagine what other object might be triangulated into this to complete the puzzle.

Congratulations Mech. Thanks for your contributions here. From experience I expect your posting frequency will continue to accelerate, so 9999 will come around quickly. And your teaser post reinforces to me that PuristS are great collectors, of anything! Come to think of it, I have a 30 year old can of beer in the cupboard. Don't ask why. Will have to find it and do a post. A
