Its not necessarily so much ...
What you are posting, as it is the way you write your posts, that I love!
This Paul Gerber is my absolute favorite of the three. It’s really spectacular and the pattern on the dial is stunning. It seems to stand the test of time.
I never got one, as i didn’t have the money at the time.
Is it still fun to do these community watches or is everything becoming too speculative these days? (I’m thinking Hodinkee is!)

Who has one or more of the old WPS / Purists Special watches? May I ask for a show of wrists?
This site never got the bug to become a Hodinkee, but over the last 10-15 years some special editions were released for WPS visitors. I have only 3 but there were at least 8-10 in total. Here are mine. Moving from right to left, I'll describe them 2011 P1...
Exactly. I keep thinking if we have the clout to swerve the manufacturers to do something special now that they are too involved with influencers.
P10 APRO was a special piece. I realize though it's prob easier to work with smaller independents. [nt]
They are too busy retailing through other sites
unless they are making no sales at all
Sales numbers wud come out soon for the public ones at least.The whole business model has changed it seems. It is what ailing english woolen mills are doing too- Small batches limited runs with emphasis on price and margin stability.
Gradually raising prices every yr. No one wants inventory or hustle for sales. Some are giving the illusion of scarcity -50ltd for each regional variation wud still be 500 pieces in all. But creates the right hype. there are now more than 6k Daytona liste...
I have an ABR also.
It looks like Amanico's but would be much more poorly photographed if I tried to show it.
Some other...
I am not sure about that MBF being part of the P 10 pieces, though... ...
This Chocolate Frog was unveiled at the IGOTT meeting
I think Max allowed us one But I am not sure Mike ...
Gentlemen, set me straight here.
That watch has “Purists 10th” on the caseback, was it not a Purists watch? I’m confused. It’s also a watch I really like, and have considered trying to track one down.
Very nice.
It would be great if Purists did another at some point. I'd certainly be interested.
In an ideal world, it would be nice to find a budget that worked broadly. Or, equally “nice”, to have more than one watch and therefore budget !
Not that I wish to create more work for all of you...but just saying.
WPS purist watches
Interesting project. I thought about WPS own watch. Special editions made for us is also a special thing. About Hodinkee. I get the thoughts Hodinkee want to reach such a thing like the Tiffany label.
Yes, I think he developed that for his own amusement, not for any demand
Hence it is extremely cool. Mike
Very impressed by Paul Gerber. Able to come out with engineering solutions for his watch movements and a great design for his watch dial,
specifically the dial for the Purists watch. Where others would just have a line of text on the dial, he came out with a monogram form of Purists. It seems like both sides of his mind are equally dominant. I'm an engineer by trade but I can't even do the ...
Super cool pieces
Never knew AP and Voutilainen made special pieces for our community! Would be interested to see/join the conversation for new project.. FPJ, VC, Chrono Tokyo maybe? 👀
Olala that would be something special 😋
Cannot let the mould go to waste right? P.s. picture ripped off the internet, though wish it wasn't

Thanks, I think?
I think was aimed at me; can’t tell by the app on my phone. “Its not necessarily so much ...What you are posting, as it is the way you write your posts, that I love! “ Cheers, Mike
