Horological Meandering

I was in Bangkok last week and met up with Ruckdee for drinks at a nightclub close to my Hotel. I have read Ruckdee's posts over the years and have exchanged a lot of mail with him . Ruckdee is a gentleman who sent me a very nice note on the day of my arr...  

... wish to visit one day soon... And expect the same, if not better, courtesy if and when you, or any PuristS for that matter, ever stop by Japan Thanks for "nice" pics! Ken

Will definitely visit Japan soon. Thailand is truly fascinating , land of smiles and great contrasts. Likewise, hope you will visit Australia and I will be your guide. Cheers,dreamer

I see a similarly themed Vegas gathering, perhaps?

Is that BED Supperclub? Brings back memories. Glad you had fun!

Glad it brought back good memories for you Patrick. Cheers,dreamer

. . . the pool player of the year ;-) . . .

I can see the connection by " the player of the year ". There's some horological content amongst those risque photos. Look at picture number 8 and you will see a BIG watch ( clock ) hanging from a " pimps " belt LOL. Cheers,dreamer

...I had two incredibly busy weeks before and during your visit otherwise I could have shown you a few places myself. Next time I promise. And, hey, the watch shots came out great! Ruckdee

I knew how busy you were. You must hold your alcohol very well. After all , you had 4 cocktails with your client at 6.30 pm. before we met for drinks at 10 pm. Cheers,dreamer

It was definitely quite a fun time you had hanging out with Ruckdee, whom as you duly noted, is a class act guy! Thanks for sharing it with us. All the best, Alex

Alex. More so, when you are on vacation and meeting an overseas purist who is a great person to boot. A few drinks and a theme night helps. Cheers,dreamer

Bravo, guys, you made my day! Best, Nicolas

I hope to meet more purists in my travels. cheers,dreamer

To compete with me??? Hope the lady boys left you alone? Regards Darma

Your trans Tasman jaunts garners more mileage surely. Lady boys ? Now you warn me. Too late. If they are boys, they look perfect LOL. cheers, dreamer

That Ruckdee is a gem! I love hearing stories of PuristS meeting up in far-flung exotic locales! Next time you are in Bangkok, you'll have to check out my cousin's hotel in the city. PM me next time you travel there. Cheers, Daos

the name and location of your cousins's hotel. I want to meet up with purists in other countries.Not easy if travelling with family eg. trip with them to LA and NY last year in April . Mindful of what they want to do , so my own time and interests curtail... 

Might be there in Oct/Nov. cheers PAt

to chill. Amazing open air bar, Scirocco restaurant. Try their signature hangoverini of green tea liqueur, apple juice, sweetheart vermouth and rosemary infused honey.I have attached a few photos for you. Enjoy your visit in October. cheers,dreamer...  

Sorry to have missed joining you guys, it looks like you had a great time out there! So who won the billiards game? -MW

We found out after our PM to you. We used pool table and balls as props for photo.We did not have a game . Cheers,dreamer

Sir, you are lucky to know Ruckdee. He is one of the nicest man in BANGKOK's watch community.

Hi, I feel a bit uneasy when addressed as sir. I am a simple dreamer. I am not the least surprised when you say Ruckdee is one of the nicest guy in the Bangkok watch collecting community. Cheers,dreamer
