Purists, Took some time to hit the 7000 mark and after seven years (I’m a member of this community since Jun 27, 2008) I could learn a lot, make great friends and experience lots of changes over my watch hobby. A set of major learning points in no particu...
Very interesting post, Nilo.

First of all, congratulations on your 7000th! Back to your post, each of your subtitles are worth a dedicated post. I will try to come back to some of them. - Mechanical watches is a passion: Of course! Nobody here can disagree, or he should wonder why he...
Thanks Nicolas ...

About the "listen" point, the target is mass production pieces. Cheers, Nilo
Fantastic post, Nilo.

And congratulations on 7000! Point #5 is so true, and I guess everyone here could go on with horror stories about different companies. I would just add to your argument that not only are the companies slow to service, but they are increasingly finding ser...

Maintenance is an area that we should discuss much more. Cheers, Nilo
Congrats on 7000

Congratulations on this milestone and to thousands more!

The post is worthy of the achievement, too - very well argued and something we probably all think about from time to time. I hope you continue to educate and entertain us with your passion, your spectacular photography, your knowledge... For many, many ye...

MTF, I had in mind broad produced watches and not limited editions. The great example is a major brand, that each year the brand supporters hope for a change on the chronograph model and this major brand never listens. Cheers, Nilo

Congratulations for your 7000th post! You have an amazing collection! Thanks for sharing!
congratulations on the milestone

I always enjoy your posts and this one especially so. I wholeheartedly agree that slow service is a major gripe but I am afraid that as long we are captive customers of a brand there is not enough incentive to change this. Wonderful watches with a unified...
Thank you Andreas ....

I don't think that we should be captive of anything, except our wifes. Cheers, Nilo
Congratulations, that is some milestone at 7K...

I saw you consider the Aventurine dial as one of the key watches that a very good sales can find. Now, after the Spectre, Snoopy, I am given opportunity to this Aventurine, plus a platinum SM300 with number 357/357...I'm running out of funds (, just pick ...
Thanks Raymond ...

If you take the Aventurine in your hands, you are doomed. It's the kind of "I must have it". Pictures of it don't show 50% of the beauty. Cheers, Nilo

Thank you Master Art ...

Being a "rusty lover" is a great thing. As I stated, 2016 will be my "rusty year". Cheers, Nilo

Onwards to 10K ! #5 Quality control How is it even possible? That is what I have asked myself. From the 13 (new from AD) watches I bought the past 5 years, 3 of them broke down within weeks after purchase. That means that 23% was (a sort of) DOA . That is...
Quality assurance....

No complains on my side, with the brands that I acquire (Omega, IWC and JLC). I know that some other major brands experience issues but I don't have direct contact with those. Cheers and thank you, Nilo
Wow how did I miss this post?!

agreeing on most points, I feel some are missing... - the watch business aside from a very few industrial brands and some individual watchmakers is basically a fraud-system overcharging you by telling lies as real stories and relating to every story possi...
