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 lurkin...
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 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!
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.)
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

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.
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...
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...
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 ...
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
