Bimbeano is one member of our extraordinary Community; and an extraordinary friend.

It is a long, very long time member, and a very dear friend of ours / mine.

Oh yes, crazy he is, totally, deliciously crazy. Crazy biker, crazy car lover, crazy life lover, crazy friend who is able to make 700 kilometers in the same day just to have a lunch, to brave the Covid to come and visit a friend, well, you got the idea.

Good and bad times each other or both of us had, for sure, but an indisputable friendship.

And yes, he also loves watches!

One of the " Pearls " of our Community you are, Filip.

See you soon, here or there, and huge congratulations on your 10, 000th!

Best,

Nicolas

They wonder what is going on in this picture (they would not know your fantastic watch pics). For me, I am dumbfounded that you have a VHS player on your desk! 🤣😁 Glad to see watch fans in their element 👍

Remember Paris where he slept in my hotel room on the sofa 😀. Only problem was the sofa was 1m70 and our dear member is a bit taller 😀. Hope to see you soon my friend! D

unfortunately I don't know you personally, but what our friend Nico writes about you is … phenomenal. You seem to be a great person and are a longtime member of our community here. 10,000 posts… An incentive for me to achieve that, too! Many congrats Thomas
