Jrwong23 shares an impromptu PuristS meetup in Singapore, showcasing vintage Rolex, Lange, Montblanc, Moser, VC, and JLC. Celebrate watches and camaraderie.

Jrwong23 shares a delightful account of an impromptu PuristS gathering in Singapore, celebrating a fellow collector's new acquisition and Singapore's 50th independence. The post captures the camaraderie and shared passion for horology, showcasing a diverse array of watches from vintage Rolex to modern Lange, Montblanc Villeret, Moser, VC, and JLC, culminating in the anticipation of a Lange Zeitwerk's minute flip.

To celebrate a Singapore PuristS bro's recent acquisition and also to chill out for our long weekend in Singapore as we celebrate our 50th year of independence.

This time we have vintage Rolexes, Langes, Montblanc Villeret, Moser, VC and JLC.

Watches first, then dinner , then we said "we still want to see watches!" So we went to a cafe and continued until 1200, just to witness the Lange Zeitwerk time flip from 1159 to 1200

Some pics to share here. Enjoy! Have a good weekend everyone! And to those in Singapore, happy 50th National Day!

Cheers
Robin

Key Points from the Discussion

The strap on the Datograph is a navy blue with grey stitching, sourced from the Lange boutique in Ginza, Tokyo, and pairs well with the blue dial.
The gathering highlights the joy of shared horological passion, with participants discussing plans to continue these meetups for many years to come.
The collection of watches displayed, including a boutique edition, generated covetous desires among attendees, underscoring the appeal of rare and special pieces.
The group's horological taste is highly praised, reflecting the quality and diversity of the watches brought to the meetup.
A fellow Purist noted the enjoyment the current owner of a 1921 piece was getting from it, suggesting it was receiving more wrist time than before.

That looks like a great GTG, Robin

Those are all lovely prices on the table. I have a favorite, however. I bet you can guess which one it is. It is a boutique edition of a watch I already have. I am greedy. I want that one, TOO! Best wishes on the Independence Anniversay and enjoy the long weekend. respo

to see that the current owner of the 1921 has been enjoying the piece a lot! Looks like it's getting more wrist time than when it was with me. =)
