Horological Meandering

It would have been the 4th anniversary of my time here on the 28th of May but it appears I have reached the round posting number a bit prior to that. So what to say? At this post count one could safely say that Puristspro has become my second home. The st...  

Thank you for taking part with such enthusiasm. The true spirit of the community.

I try my best...

That would be great!

Cheers, HSTE

And to finally meeting in person, too

Cheers my friend. HSTE

.. in a number ? - Much and little at the same time !.. Keep them coming & my very Best ! hs

Much and little is spot on. It is an imperfect measure of what the time has meant, and the people it has been spent with Thanks a lot and wishing you a great remaining Sunday!

...and to many more milestones !

And to many more GTGs, too

You have been amazing and we are so lucky to have you here. S

Thanks a lot!

I am proud of you: 20.000 quality posts - not only about watches but also on the topic of cars, food etc. - in 4 years, it is an increible result of enthusiasm! I am also very happy that the Minerva Pythagore found the right home and the owner of it well ... 

For your support, the Minerva, the great times spent together. To many more!

20k is a lot of posts and comments 😬 but its allways a joy to read them 🤗 looking forward to the next 20k 🙏🏻

Looking forward to discussing watches over a glass of wine again

Your posts are always interesting. And you share your knowledge selflessly. But you really shine as a friend, and I am very happy to count you as one of mine. Here's to 20,000 more!

We may part ways on thermal treatment of meat but it’s always a pleasure with you, on the forums and off!

... I celebrate your reaching of this big achievement and thank you so much your friendship! Keep them coming my friend!! All the best! Abel

I can only reciprocate the sentiment To many more exchanges!

Congrats and thanks for these 20k and cheers to another 20k!

Looking forward to it

Best of health to you and continued enjoyment of your watches!

Thanks a lot, Joepny!

. . . upstream and down. Glad to have you here. Gratefully, Art

And there are few people I have encountered that embody this as much as you

And thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community.

In the words of Robert Heinlein But glad if I am on occasion helpful! Thanks

You have become one of our superstars! Twenty thousand posts PLUS having a job, wife, new babies, and competing hobbies (tartare). Wow! Thanks for your cheerful and “moderating” voice in the midst of these crazy times as we pursue the watches of our dream... 

I can only return the sentiment. You may not have small babies to take care of just now but everything you touch you do with so much dedication and commitment it’s incredible. Thanks for your continued support!

Interesting that we agree on so many.

Almost bought the Chopard chrono in Switzerland a few years ago... the writing on the dial prevented me from buying but I think it's an amazing watch and movement, and I hope Chopard does something again with this design... advancing/evolving it in some w... 

found it Minerva Pythagore A481 34mm.... gritting teeth w reluctant admiration... too small, even for a Dufour too small Was thinking the other day... if Dufour had only made Simplicity in 34mm (as he did originally) would it have become the phenomenon? I... 

The proportions are absolutely spot on, so the watch does not feel small on the wrist, just right. But I do know that it’s not a usual size anymore. Btw. it was in production till 2000, and there has been produced in a 38mm version, too

The Chrono One is quite a piece but I fully understand you. Several Chrono One models have been launched from the start, so I hope more will come in time

KMII, Gosh! 20k posts sneaked up on us just like that! You are another stealth PuristS ninja. Thank you for your contributions in all things PuristS....in the stealthy dark. Regards, MTF ...  

Not sure if stealthy but I had real fun spending the time with all of you here. Thanks for all your encouragement and support, too

When a moderator has such commendable interests outside his brand, postings about the represented brand become also more valuable for me as reader. And the recent food postings have definitely whetted my appetite for another holiday in Vienna and south-ea... 

I am a naturally curious person, so it’s difficult to stay put with one thing for too long Glad you enjoyed the post and looking forward to many more exchanges!
