A few of us gathered tonight to meet up with a dear PuristS friend of ours who is visiting Singapore for the week. He is none other than.....

RichardN!!

Richard brought along 3 of us watches. Can you guess which ones?

We also have a long time Singapore based JLC vintage crazy PuristS who just got a very special Cartier Tank.

Guess who is this PuristS

And there were 2 very young Singapore PuristS who are still students, one of us joining us for the very first time.

And as usual, Ianny would be wearing one of his very nice Langes

Some pictures to share here

Guys who attended - some of you took even nicer pictures with your cameras so please share your pics too

Cheers

Robin

And thanks to the gang who put it together. Very enjoyable evening, and the watches were superb! Some additional pictures here - all nice pieces, and makes me wonder if I should take up what we discussed about changing careers to be politicians so we could afford everything we see... The Tissot is the most unique one I've seen, with a very interesting case back. A great design and color combo too. Black and gold goes so well together. And as for the LM and Rogue...easily my favorites :-) Too man

Thanks for the pictures from the evening. I like the tilting window (or in Portuguese: janela basculante) mechanism of the Cartier Tank Basculante. There was a 2nd-hand example for sale in Singapore but I never took it up because of a few issues. :-) I also like the Tissot case back that I've not seen before. You get all sorts of watches at PuristS' get togethers. Regards, MTF
