Horological Meandering

Let me introduce myself, my name is Jorge and I just join Purist. I leave in Ohio, and I been collecting watches for 1 year and a half. I used to be normal, meaning a one watch person. I didn't know anything about the horology world. As far as I was conce...  

Welcome on Puristpro Jorge, you'll find a lot of data on watches and nice people to discuss with here. Cheers, Mark

I am sure it will be fun!

Welcome and we look forward to your posts.

Thanks Rei, I got my pateks, ALS, AP,VC and Breguet, this year so I shouldn't buy another watch this year. My grail is schedule for next year. Will see....

Great taste and a pretty nice collection! Welcome here, Jorge. Looking forward to reading more from you in our many discussions about out beloved tic tacs. Nicolas.

I guess it's my personality, no patience and that I got to have it Now! approach. But I am better now, thinking every purchase for awhile before pulling the trigger, otherwise flipping watches is not a good thing for the wallet. LOL

Glad to have you here! Your collection is amazing and excellent wrist shots too! I started in Sep 2012 (coming 1 year) but no where near your speed of acquisition! :) Looking forward to seeing more posts from you on the various brand forums specific to yo... 

Yeah, it was kind of a rush. But it gets harder from here....... Looking forward to post here though, and share the passion for this addicting hobby. Cheers!

always nice to have new passionate member which obviously you are. Nice and versatile collection you have. Looking forward your first 1000 posts ;) All the best Damjan

It's great to be here, I need to get familiar on how to surf this site 1st. I don't even know if I post this in the right location? but yeah, eventually ...... I will learn my way here

That's quite a journey in 18 months, Jorge. I'm sure your head is spinning from all the new information and watches you are learning about. It really is an exciting time in the collecting cycle, and hard to capture again. Savour it. Actually I think the s... 

Yes she was, actually 5 of my watches are from that dealer: Patek 5146g, Patek 5712, Breguet Marine BD, Panerai 372 and of course the one that started all the JLC memovox. I agree with you, I think all the watches have their place.

Very nice collection you have! :) And I am very pleased to see that you have the Master Memovox. This one is a true classic, even if we don't write much about it here in the forum. Best Blomman

Yes the JLC master memovox, was the one that started all the craziness ! Actually I am wearing it today Regards Jorge

Looks like you have educated yourself extremely well. You have exceptional taste, and I must say great photographic skills. I love the JLC Master Memovox , Saxonia Thin, and your APRO Self winding. Warm welcome my friend. I have a lot of Chinese colleague... 

Thanks for your kind words, watches are my passion and new hobby. And like my previous hobby, this one turn out too intense as well. My previous hobby "classical music ", end up with over 15,000 cds. Just crazy, unfortunately with watches I can't buy all ... 

And what a collection you have amassed Jorge! Continue to share with us here, and do let us know if there's any way we can assist you in learning more about haute horlogerie! Once again, a warm welcome! Tschuss Stephen

Will do, it's not hard to deviate from your grail with so many more accessible choices! Regards

.. welcome! You have a very well balanced collection there. Please come visit often and share with us your nice watches, opinions, questions, and thoughts. Best, Ken PS: Do you have TimeZone on order? Your ID seems to indicate something like that :-)

Appreciate the warm welcoming. I love that Timezone, that's one of the reasons for my ID. The other reason is that I get easily distracted from my goal. For example on June I decided that the 116.039 was next, and I thought its gonna take me 6 months or s... 

.. focus on the goal a far and I would take the lowest fruit, too. But you will get there one day.... Ken

Like Mr Miyagi used to say "Wax on Wax off"

I can only imagine what kind of collections in 2-3 years time....keep the momentum going! MrT

I have a hard time visualizing the next 5-6 months, now 2-3 years is too hard to see on my crystal ball....... Thanks again !

And many of us started like this. Rolex runs a huge marketing machine, and they are so well manufactured and last a lifetime, and a lot get passed down the next generation. Welcome again, and very nice collection you have amassed. Which is your favorite? ... 

Thanks for your kind words. I like them all, I guess it depends on the situation. But if I would have to live with one watch it would have to be either my AP 15300 or the PP 5712. But then you need an annual calendar or a classic manual gold dress watch a... 

, Welcome to our HoMe from home. Your screen name ihas a long star date; may I call you jorge? :-) A gentleman PuristS should survive with 3 types of watches: 1) Ultra thin elegant dress watch preferably in a precious white metal (Au or Pt). 2) School of ...  

Of course you can call me Jorge, that's a beautiful Piaget, But I think I have that covered ...  

Very nice collection you have, and please do share more photos of your PAM372 in our Panerai forum :) Cheers, Anthony

Yes I will, I have very nice set of pics when I bought the watch not so long ago. I will post it now!

You really have such a great collection of watches, Congrats! Best regards, Baxter

I should really take a sabbatical or something, this watches thing are driving me crazy! I just added this ...  

Enjoy your collection! Best regards, Baxter

You've been bitten bad, Jorge :-) Welcome here. That's a pretty awesome collection you've amassed in just 18 months. Looking forward to more of your pictures and posts. Richard

sometimes I wonder if my life goes around the watches or the watches around my life! From here is harder, meaning, I don't have the cash for a minute repeater or tourbillons that cost over 100k. My next idea was, what about a Perpetual Calendar? and I kno... 

. . . that lead to the doorstep of some relatively affordable . . . . . . perpetuals, which might facilitate the acquisition of that grail. :-) Cordially, Art ...  

but yes, there are some perpetuals that are more affordable like the GO, JLC and IWC comes to mind. But one that is kind in the middle and that I like is the UN el toro. I know that is not everybody cup of tea but I find it unique among perpetuals.

Nice collection Jorge, some iconic watches you have there...

Appreciated, very nice people here!

I see a Chopard in your future, by the way! ;-) Impressive collection. Welcome. Best, CaliforniaJed

Don't give me any ideas. I am weak...

I think you need a fast watch, too! This one: ...  

unfortunately L.U.C. 8HF was a limited edition, and would be very hard to find one now. darn it! oh well... I am sure I wil find my path.. This message has been edited by on 2013-08-15 12:06:58 ...

Yes, that will do! Have a great weekend. Best, CaliforniaJed

Welcome to the forum.

Have a great time on the Purists ;-)

I thought that it gotta be you when I saw a post of yours in the Patek section, Thanks mate!
