Purists is an amazing site which is said by many family members here...everybody I have met has been a friend from the first meeting.  But this site also leads to other interesting joys.

My generous dealer last weekend gave me a gift which was amazing (http://ap.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-3/pi-5788593/ti-852643/s-0/) but also said something else....confirmation came today and gift 2 is....

A 2 day trip to Switzerland...collection by AP in Geneva, 5* hotel, lunch with the directorate, a tour of the AP manufacturer including the Grand Complication room, museum and view of the current collection, followed by dinner in the mountains.....!!!!!  I'm still speachless by this and this would never happened if I hadn't been encouraged to follow my dreams and hobby through the friends on this site.

3000 posts is a milestone for me (nothing compared to our Nico but he posts 24/7 so that's not a fair comparison..!!) LOL

Here are a few pics from my time here over the years......
