Ahhh Nilo
Great to see you back. Months ago when I hadn't seen you post for a while, I was extremely worried and dropped a note to MTF. After a while he got back to me and assured me that all was well, you are fine, and he would make an announcement soon.
Did you let the New Vintage go? Glad to see the absolutely gorgeous, and under-appreciated (on this forum) Portuguese.
Hope you have not abandoned Zenith, and would love to hear your thoughts on this year's novelties, the sudden move to outsource movement for some watches, and the CEO musical chairs.
Dean
I'm back. A quick update ...
Intro After many weeks or months, Im back to Ppro, sort of. My real business is growing more than any forecast and on my (little) free time I will try to post something interesting here. I miss Ppro very much mainly because there is no place like here,...
A very very warm welcome
We are genuinely excited to share your thoughts and great photography that we have grown to enjoy and love. It is always a pleasure to read you. Best Bill
Welcome back, Nilo!
Always enjoyed your photos and write ups, and this post and the amazing photos are captivating as always. Richard
Happy, no... Very happy to see you back here, Nilo.
You missed PuristSPro; PuristSPro missed you a lot, as well. Life is life and we don't always do what we would like to do. We are many here, to wlecome you back, so enjoy! Nicolas
Hey Nicolas ...
Did you notice that JLC is on my short list? The evil spell always work. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you Magnus ...
But don't expect too much pictures. Time is short and the world is huge. Cheers, Nilo
Hey Nilo....
Where have you been, man! Yes.....great to see your post here. But I will not see my mission as complete until i see you on the Rolex forum......
Thank you Baron but ...
With the World Cup around the corner, I'm looking for a Casio forum. Rolex here is a recipe for doom. Cheers, Nilo
There's no place like PuristS!
Nilo, I can't tell you how happy I am to read you again on PPro. In fact I am hanging out with some of the LA gang at the moment and just yesterday we were saying how much we missed your contribution to life here. I know your business commitments increase...
Thank you Andrew ...
And be careful when in LA. I saw "The Shield" recently. Cheers, Nilo
You are back my friend just in time...
;) for opening game of World Cup ;) Very happy to see that you finished your "sabbatical" and that you are back Well I missed you no secret Only down side is that we will have less new WristScan winners now :) Sincerely Damjan P.S. Just curious did you go...
Hello Mr. Damjan ...
Thank you very much and let's see how Croatia do here. Cheers, Nilo Note: I saw and if I didn't reply was my pure fault. Sorry.
We always come HoMe: I was away for a year in 2003
Nilo, Olá e bem vindo ao lar... Hello and Welcome Home... I stayed away for a year c.2003 but had to come back, so I know what it is like. Regards, MTF
For sure ...
And a very warm thank you. There are watch forums and there is PPro. Cheers, Nilo
A warm welcome back home ...
by me as well. Nilo, we missed you and your posts and this post makes it only more obviously why. Cordially, Oliver
welcome back
what a lovely collection and your photos are outstanding! I totally agree about Ppro being a respite from "the daily battles"! Best Andreas
You are back, Nilo!
I am very happy to see you here, my friend! So many watches I sent to you, only to get them back marked "return to sender, address unknown"... By now, my Snowdrops has been flying more miles than I ever will in my lifetime. ;) The only thing sadden me is ...
Thank you Sir ...
Try to send again but remember that Brazil is in South America not is South Denmark (yes, I'm seeing Bron/Broen S2). Now that you are the GP Lord, I have a surprise for you. A Sea Hawk 7100, that is being prepared by my watchmaker. Stay tuned. We can trad...
Welcome back Nilo!! Could you believe...
... that this same morning I was wondering what had happened to you, and missing your wonderful photography? I imagined something related with hard work as I also am having some trouble lately to visit here and participate in threads and in W/S. I´m happy...
Thank you Abel ...
Are you getting ready to the World Cup? I'm seeing, "as we speak", Argentina training against Trinidad Tobago and Messi just helped the second goal. Cheers, Nilo
Ahhh Nilo
Great to see you back. Months ago when I hadn't seen you post for a while, I was extremely worried and dropped a note to MTF. After a while he got back to me and assured me that all was well, you are fine, and he would make an announcement soon. Did you l...
Hello Dean ...
As I stated on the original post, I'm more busy than I like but I cannot resist "the business". About the New Vintage, please don't remember me. Gone, the SS and the Ti. My new phase demands brand presence where I live and Zenith is not here. I didn't had...
Hello Again Nilo! Thank you for your kind answer! regarding...
... football and Wordl Cup: I´m not very fond of this sport and don´t usually pay much attention, in spite of being the most popular sport here and most of my friends are really fans of any of the local teams. BUT in every World Cup I enjoy watching the m...
Same with me ...
I believe that football (or soccer) is way too much tainted with corruption, fixed games etc. I'm not seeing with good eyes the World Cup played here. The government should have other priorities than to make huge arenas. In any case, let's wait and see. C...
Great
To see u back ! Missed the news about your departure from the Mod team, and for a while was wondering what happened. We, I certainly missed reading you, and glad to hear you are keeping fine and busy. Please visit often and good to know your passion is we...
Thank you Flamenco ...
I'm back but not active as in the past. When some time, or a flu like today, I will show up. Cheers, Nilo
So happy :)
...to see you back :) Wow...thank you for sharing pictures of your current collection. Really spoiled by the quality of your images. Your contributions here are appreciated and greatly valued.
Thank you Ping ...
And, again, your posts are one of the main reasons that I'm here. Cheers, Nilo
Happy to have you back Nilo
I missed you and I am sure I speak for many others . Great to know your watch passion is alive and well. Please contribute time permitting. Keep we'll. Cheers, dreamer

Interesting times indeed......

Some Seiko Nuggets in your post!
" I continue to own some Seikos (I never sell/trade a Seiko) and when I got time, I plan to post my set. " " Using this method, I ended with only three brands ( Seiko don’t count – everyone must have at least one or two or more ) that have models that rea...
Thank you Mike ...
My Seiko set is minimal (six pieces) but I'm dreaming with a GS. Who knows? Someday one shows up here. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you Echi ...
But those I'm taking most of my pictures using what I have on my hands (iPhone 5S) or a Canon EOS M. No time for planed pictures. Cheers, Nilo
Wonderful post Nilo! Great to see you back my Friend.
Looking forward to your participation again :-)
Great to have you back Nilo...
Love your IWC collection. Will continue to taunt you with that Tudor Grantour... Welcome back, my friend!
Thank you Sir
About the Tudor, yes I regret all the time that I see yours. Cheers, Nilo
