While Purists were gathering in Singapore last weekend . . .

. . . they were also meeting in So Cal on the very same day. The heretofore shrouded alphabet soup gang . . . . . . convened at their usual hide-out with a special guest who, under normal circumstances, would've been at the Singapore gathering....
Mr and Mrs B were in attendance . . .
By: Dr No : March 4th, 2017-13:00
. . . he with the highlight of his collection . . . . . . and she with hers. Mr B is a founding member of the gang, and he's been bringing Mrs B to our gatherings even before she became Mrs B. ...
Ms C was finally able to rejoin us . . .

. . . after a year's (or has it been longer?) absence. Her solitary contribution was a Breitling, but unfortunately, I either didn't photograph it (although I thought I had), or none of the images survived the selection process. Here's hoping she'll share...
Mr E also brought one . . .

. . . with you in mind, Nicolas. Yes, still sealed in plastic wrap, fresh from Patek service the day before. ...
Needless to say

This one makes me happy. Simple. Honest. As a watch should be.
Mr F brought only two . . .
By: Dr No : March 4th, 2017-19:17
. . . but both were quite special, one . . . . . . for mythical reasons pertaining to the number 18. The other one was . . . . . . actually mythical. ...
Mr G brought the bumblebee . . .
By: Dr No : March 4th, 2017-19:32
. . . that comes second to mind of the genre ;-) . . . . . . and perhaps the most idiosyncratic of the gathering, a one-handed wonder . . . . . . from Favre-Leuba. ...
Actually, the way to read this watch is to look at...

... the inner bezel, which turns just a little bit slower than the minute indicator. So the watch is showing the time as 1:53. At 2:00 (in about seven minutes), the number two on the inner bezel and the minute indicator will line up at 12:00. Hope that he...
If You Look At The Inner Bezel...

... You will see the "1" is slightly trailing the minute hand. And so, the time displayed would be read as 1:53. At 2:00, the minute hand and the "2" on the inner bezel will line up at the 12:00 position.
Thank You...

Just a quick Hello and hope you and all the guys are well. Wondering if people know who Spiro Agnew was. That is a very cool watch. Regards
Hi, Don! Good to hear from you . . .
By: Dr No : March 6th, 2017-11:16
