Hello... New Member here. :)
Hello Purists, (Quite new to this forum posting thing)
Just thought I'd introduce myself, my name is Rob and I'm based in Manila / Singapore.
Been collecting watches since 2004 or so, and while I'm a newly registered member on this forum, I've been lurking on PuristsPro for years.
Meeting 2 esteemed Purists in Singapore recently (who taught me many things about Independents) led me to finally register.
To be completely frank, I do not have the width and breadth of the collections I see here, but I'm looking to learn from you guys. 
As you can see with my pic, have started dipping my feet into independents but my collection is mostly made up of some (vintage) Rolex with a few odds and ends here and there.
Hoping to enrich my knowledge here (and perhaps make a few friends along the way)
Cheers guys.

Welcome Rob!
Greetings from Hong Kong, always nice to hear from a fellow Asian purists. Anyway the moser is an excellent choice as your first independent! Best, JTCL
Hello!
Hello JTCL! Used to visit HK quite often in my younger years, but now not quite as often as I'd like. Although I got this Moser from there. Thanks for the warm welcome!
Great to have you in our community
Was not aware of this iteration of Moser, quite a sporty but still elegant look. Well done! br, Dirk
Thank you Dirk :)
Yes, I was deciding between this steel Pioneer or the more classic Endeavour. But what sealed the deal was the news that they will be releasing a steel bracelet for this model. (a must for hot / humid tropics where I live.)
A very warm welcome to our forum
Im sure you will enjoy it. That is a lovely Moser you have there! best Christian
Thank you Christian!
Would always read your posts, and am quite a fan of FP Journe. (The Octa QP is one of my grail watches.) Thanks for the warm welcome. , Rob
thank you for your kind words, Rob :-)
The QP is very well chosen. In my opinion a masterpiece that doesnt recieve as much attention as some other pieces. I will do something about that in the future
Thank you for the welcome Nicolas!
When I would read the forum as a lurker would always read your "quick review" posts... The recent most memorable of which to me was the one about the Montblanc Heritage Perpetual Calendar... So much so that when I met someone from Minerva (now with Montbl...
Thanks for the nice introduction and welcome to this beautiful and instructive forum!
Looking forward to seeing more of your collection and to your contributions!😀
Greetings from Bangkok,
Rob. That's a lovely Pioneer. Just remember to enjoy the pieces you have in what is a lifelong journey, the fine-tuning of your collection according to your own developing and changing tastes.
Warm welcom here dear Rob ,
Great moser pioneer. Looking forward to see more pics soon🙏🏻🤗
Welcome here Rob!

My big pleasure Rob! Yes, I love everything with the coronet! Lol! Be it vintage or modern I like it so much. Vintage has a very special charm and interest of course.
I´m sure that if it belongs to a collection it has some story behind and this makes it special and interesting to view and read about it. Enjoy so much! Cheers! Abel.
Hello Rob
You may notice the greetings pop up from around the world as we awaken, get off work or just sneak a peek at WPS. So Cheers from California as I strap on the Seiko Flight Master Chrono I bought from Singapore many watch-years ago. You may have heard of do...
Hello Cazalea! Thanks for the warm greeting from sunny California.
Read many of your posts in the past, as part of my collection started out with Seiko! (And I still feel they are one of the best vertically manufactured brands from all the lines) glad to be here! And yes’ fully agree with Watch years... Awesome flightmas...
Yes, SBDS001
It came new with the bracelet but since I didn’t have a sizing tool at work, I put on the strap temporarily, so I could wear it immediately. Here it is 13 years later and still on that strap ...
Welcome here Rob!
With a Moser you made a flying start into this place. One of five manufacturers that make in-house balance springs, which I find is the key aspect of watchmaking. Best Moritz
Welcome to the forum, Rob!
We’re looking forward to finding out more about you and your collection 😊 Great first post!
