A special moment for me
I have been cruising the boards today, procrastinating to do my real work, checking in at AP, Chopard, Hublot, JLC, UN, RM, etc. etc. and just noticed I was at 4999 on my counter. My first thought was #5000 should be on AP... but no way...
It has to be here, on the PuristSPro HoMe forum, because I am here to share in our Community. Yes, it is true, I found thePuristS just after its inception by researching AP. And I will never forget how welcoming everyone was to this newbie who dreamed of his first AP and had so much to learn.
Almost 15 years now, a very big part of my life. Over 5000 days... and it must be less than 100 that I did not check in here. Thomas, thanks for starting this incredible group, and to everyone else, thanks for being here, sharing, participating - making the PuristSPro Community "the place to be" for true watch aficionados.
And one shot from IGOTT2 in 2011... the sign really says it all

5.000 congratulations Michael!
Is very difficult to explain how wonderful, fascinating, immersive, rich in culture and friendship is this site to someone who does not know him. Then turns gradually into a wonderful addiction... Warmest, massi

Michael, Welcome to the exclusive 5K club. Even considering that I don't own any AP (they spell trouble here on my "very" safe country) I always like to read your very precise posts and reviews. Thank you very much, Nilo
Congrats and THANK YOU for being here and making this place so great!!!
Again, My sincerest thanks for making HoMe and AP forums, and the PuristS such a great place !!!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and again, my sincerest thanks! Sebastian
The reasons why you're here...
are the same for many of us I think :) Thanks a lot for sharing your passion on PuristSPro Michael. And congratulations for the 5000th! Cheers, Mark
It's true, what they say . . .
. . . "If you build it, they will come." The virtual home Thomas created has become the place to be, entirely due to the presence of gentle folks like yourself, Michael. It's a pleasure to read your thoughts here on our forums. Art
Congrats Michael!
Big milestone! Always enjoyed reading your posts and our discussions with fellow PuristS here. To many more thousands of posts ahead my friend! And many many more years and decades! (I can only say thousands of years to the Vlad who lives forever...) Chee...
