What a man, what a superb taste for divers tic-tacs, beautiful wines and
love for cars, boats.. - A true connoisseur and gentleman !
I had the pleasure to get to know Bill on one of my first Paris GTGs,
through Nico (if I remember correctly it was 2010 or 2011),
which was pure pleasure. - BTW, as he often has been and still is
visiting Paris, I was impressed, how well he was driving
through the busy Parisian traffic, without any map or GPS..
What else to me ?
He had the kindness to explain some basics & some more refined
aspects of collecting Rolex, and in fact it was the very begin for my
humble deeper interest for Rolex, it ignited a little spark in me, which has
been growing since then. -- Thx so much for that, Bill !
Already at that time, his gentlemanly attitude and kindness
were so very impressive and a number of times, when I had the
pleasure to see him again, or exchanged mails, all these
conversations always were pure pleasure..
He also was one of the key encounters & friends to attract me to
PuristS, no even more, helped to make this a true home for me,
in the cyber domain and in the real.
There followed several occasions, whereby these initial contacts
turned into friendship, for which I am grateful & even proud of !
It took a while, to fully apprehend his pivotal role for PuristSPro,
of being 'Da Man' behind. - For me one of the Grand Masters here, as well !
Well, I guess I'll humbly stop here, but not without saying
- Thank You, Bill for all you did and are still doing here, and for
generousity and kindness you have been bringing to this
platform and also towards Yours Truly..
I read and re-read and very much enjoyed your POTM interview
and post !
We can deem ourselves fortunate, that such a man is here for and
with us.
Finally, let me just say, I have been enjoying every single encounter, email
& conversation with you and I simply know & appreciate what an
asset and friendly eminence you also are.
I also know, I will again enjoy any meeting with you and hopefully
there will also be some in the future !
With my deep gratitude and very Best greetings & wishes,
to you & yours, also for the upcoming Festive Season !
