1) why are you into watches?
2) your grail watch or watches and why? 3) favourite brand/maker? Go... 😀
Hi Bounce781.. you are the first : )
1) I dont really intend "into watches".. i was in a shopping mall and i walked past a store and it had a FM Crazy Hours big poster then i thought it was interesting.. then i did a search online for watch forum.. and ThePuristS pop up and i also found Time...
To add a bit more info here because last night i had a tired brain but cant sleep so didnt wrote it well..
No disrespect.. but when i found out TP and TZ.. then FM crazy hours(i think debut in 2002.. cant remember..) doesnt look very interesting compared to the hot models at that point of time (still classic and popular now).. example simplicity, dato and reso...
Hi Spangles.. i dont teach classes..
Maybe i just like to write about watches and life.. and the way i wrote were something different from others.. my unique style i guess.. Thank you Spangles : )
Hi Baron.. Not only..
Most of the time when i cant sleep or i sleep late.. then you will see me posting in US hours.. Sometimes i post in evening of my country time and sometimes day time for example my lesson 2.. unless i recalled wrongly.. i dont have a fixed time.. its all ...
second question.....
.....in the 12-13 years that you have been a member of this forum, what other members have you met at GTGs? Always interesting to see what other collectors one has met.....
Hmmmm.......
I have several different theories regarding your motivation for asking that question. NickO
This will be the last question of this thread..
This thread is set up because i cant sleep that night.. yesterday didnt reply because i managed to sleep.. Baron.. old members.. not in contact anymore.. i was active with them for 1 - 2 years thats all.. maybe they forgotten me by now.. and its many year...

Which places have you....

Hi Filip.. i only lived in
Singapore.. for my whole life.. Sometimes i think of moving to another country because living in my country is stressful at times.. i know you like Belles Lettres.. i would like to share my signature line with you.. : ) May the chicken be with you.. (cred...
What do you value in a watch?
I've always been curious about this from the perspective of more experienced people in the community!
Hi Rbeebe.. there are many things when i see or value.. in a watch..
For example.. when i see a Chopard L.U.C 1860 in 1.96 caliber.. i think of dufour.. parmigiani.. geneva seal.. walt odets.. patek.. price of this chopard watch vs other watches in the market.. chopard history.. and more.. And its because you can tell othe...
I remembered last night.. after i wrote my reply to your question..
I finally got so tired and able to fall asleep.. haha
Thanks for your insight....
I agree very much with what you said and in particular the 1.96 and intrinsic value of simple watches ... /W72
Thank you W72.. you are an old member too.. therefore I am humbled to receive your comment
I been through this horology world long enough to know that there are only two things.. sadly.. one is money.. and another is ego.. you can get real friendship.. but its rare.. not everyone will give a simple friendship watch to another watch friend.. not...
This sentence resonates 10000% with me!
For example.. when i see a Chopard L.U.C 1860 in 1.96 caliber.. i think of dufour.. parmigiani.. geneva seal.. walt odets.. patek.. price of this chopard watch vs other watches in the market.. chopard history.. and more.
Maybe you own one.. its a good watch.. and walt odets review of 1.96 is a classic..
To me.. he is the best writer of horology.. unique writer with full of passion..
Holy cow.. sleepless night again..
Anyway.. i like triple calendar moonphase watches.. you can message me whenever you got nice photos.. i would like to archive them..
