Horological Meandering

Sheesh. I am so slow. While others post like magpies chattering in the trees, I post like a slug in the underbrush. But today I realized I've finally hit 1999. I went back through my archives, 25 posts at a time, NEXT, NEXT, NEXT (for about 3 cycles, then...  

And thank you for making this place what it is today! :) One day I will have to try feed cake to my watches! :) Best, my friend Blomman

Cazalea, Congratulations for the 2K and for the watches that you choose to celebrate. I love your taste for watches. Cheers, Nilo

I have to learn a lot and get a better camera to keep up with your superior posts. Thanks for the inspiration to try harder. Mike ...  

It's SPA/Francorchamps and, this is a guess, the driver is Graham Hill? Thank you for bringing memories from the 60's. Cheers, Nilo

The best race driver EVER! I should recognize his helmet. Cheers, Nilo

and Ayrton Senna , but it's Ayrton for me . Cheers,dreamer

i love the MIH and i'm wearing it now as its the only watch i took with me to my sisters. i love it because you need to really know watches to even know of its existance so it is a watch that no one recognises. it looks very minimal, yet is quite complica... 

Graham, I'm sorry, it took me awhile to get my creative juices going for your customized reply photo! Cazalea ...  

i'm glad that beauty is not my sister as that would be wrong in so many ways :) i'm not really visiting, i'm dog sitting, walking and pampering while they have a holiday. such fun............. G On 21 May 2013 22:25, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:w... 

. . . before the doctored part of that image of Lauren Hutton became apparent. :-) A pleasure to have you with us, Mike, and best to Laurie.

Maybe slow but with great stamina :) Always enjoyed your posts and generosity so you still wanna send me that watch? ;) 2000 post of quality and knowledge Most cordially Damjan

point it out to me again, please ...  

but I let you choose :)

Congrats on 2K. Cheers, Daniel

to find it in that crowd, and good judgement to take advantage of me in a weak moment! Cazalea ...  

... which I enjoy so much. I specially loved some some pictures which I find are somewhat surrealist, like that of your watch inside a valve radio, or other one "eating" a cake. I can well understand the spirit of them. To photograph our watches under any... 

but I can take a guess ... once my eyes get used to the California sun which has just come out ...  

Well the best oen I saw so far Great Best D

It's always great to read a post from you and I look forward to many more :) Yours, Andy.

to you and yours, Cazalea ...  

Keep'em coming!

and it's not as easy as I thought it would be to include a respectful photo incorporating the poster's interests, country, culture and the MIH in every reply. How am I doing? (can't believe I actually just threw this strap onto my watch; what a Purist wil...  

And you know what some Purists say... if the strap fits, wear it! :-)

Congratulations! Now that you got the pace, we'll soon celebrate your 3000th! Best, Mike. Nicolas

I've gotta get used to this strap! The glass on right is waiting for you Nicolas - is Lagavulin 16 okay with you? Cazalea ...  

and I have another bottle in reserve... at this rate I'll get to 3000 posts before this thread ends!!! ...  

I' ve learned my lesseon with hard drinks, Ahemmm.. But Lagavulin is maybe smoother than the liquid from mirabelles, which almost lead to the disappearance of one appreciated piece... Still remember - phone calls, SMS, and thrills... ? ;) Hs Best, hs ( he... 

Although, like so many of us here, we have never met, your interests and sense of humour resonate very closely. It's a privilege to share this slice of cyber-space with you. Congratulations on the flagfall! Cheers, pplater.

in fact some people don't even like the MIH, but we all seem to find some positive things about each other and each other's watches that keep the community going strong! Thanks for the encouragement. Cheers, Cazalea ...  

Its Quality Not Quantity :-) By the Way Thanks Again for putting me on to Grand Seiko :-), I'm loving the journey so far :-) S

I'm glad you are enjoying the GSs. Mine's best friends with the MIH ...  

And your contributions are always much appreciated. Congratulations.

"Steady on" is a good thing, at least to Wallace & Gromit. Occasionally when we look back at things said and done, we wonder if we could have done it better, or been more clear, or been nicer. But PuristS give each other a lot of slack, and I apprecia...  

Enjoyed reading your posts, a bit left field sometimes ( which I find interesting and like ). Enjoyed so many varied posts from you about your Lotus ( what's not to like. I adore Colin Chapman ), your rugs, the progression of the young bird in your garden... 

with some sharing of pieces from a collection? Anyway, here's a rug, watch, stained glass shot... ...  

and thanks for picture. Cheers,dreamer

Nice MIH! And a toast to the many more posts to come!

...  

Thanks for the photos!

no choice, the batmobile everytime....oops, i meant the MIH :) On 23 May 2013 00:56, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* cazalea (registered) on May 22nd, 2013 - 16:56 > > *Title: Hmmm - which photo will you like best? > * > >... 

Had to drive to LA and back today so I thought of this picture for you ...  

and congrats on 2,000 thoughtfully crafted posts. Quality over quantity.

oops, where's the architecture in that? How about this one? ...  

and thanks for showcasing the MIH watch - it has grown close to my heart as well. I am looking forward to many more posts, best Andreas

I know you are landlocked, so I was going to do a "beach" shot in the sand (in my back yard) but the cat decided he wanted the attention more than this black thing. Cazalea ...  

great pictures but I would not be able to let my cat do that in cold blood! Thankfully the MIH is robust! Best, Andreas

NT

How's the wrist? I did this one for you - big heavy watch but simple; small light watch and complex = either can be fun Cheers, Cazalea ...  

If you have "only" 2000 posts, they are 2000 darned good ones, in my opinion -- and I love this MIH photoessay to mark the occasion! Looking forward to many more. Best, Gary

Your pieces and your continual improvement in representing them "on film" are spectacular. I have to stay far away from that genre or I get crazed thinking about lenses, lighting, post-processing, etc. Cheers, Cazalea ...  

Many thanks for the thoughtful "tribute" -- and again, congrats. Best, Gary

La bocca di verita ? .. In Rome .. Be careful, always ! ;) ...  

of that MIH. Congratulations on your 2000th post....looking forward to more. Richard

And if this thread keeps going, I'll have another hundred by tomorrow! But it's 5:00 o'clock and my wife says let's go for a bike ride. ...  

The GS GMT seemed a better color match with my chrome and red-trimmed bike Cazalea ...  

Sloth :). I think it will take another year for me to reach 2000 posts. Congratulation on your 2000th post and on your new watch. cen@jkt

so here is a food photo for you: Our last night's salad of tiny shrimp, fresh avocado, mozzarella cheese, heirloom tomato, mixed spring greens, seeds from sunflowers and pumpkins. Dressing of blood orange, olive oil and balsamic vinegar from local growers...  

nice healthy meal. i should have photographed my duck breast with roasted veg i had last night, but i'm not used to my sisters oven so it tasted nice, but was not a good looker :( On 23 May 2013 16:43, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *... 

PS: late, but hope not too late for my ' Chapeau' to you ! Best, hs

Actually whenever i see a MIH i can't resist to put it on my wrist :-) .... . This is one cool post/thread Mike ... greetz to your lovely wife and i really hope we can meet again in the near future. Bim

Congratulations on this milestone, Mike. Your posts are always fun, memorable and insightful, and your collecting habits interesting. I have enjoyed them all and look forward to many more. Thanks for your support of PuristS over many years. Warm regards, ...
