can age be discriminatory if that is the whole point of the club ?
interesting thought George.

what about the great holiday company SAGA for the over 55's. they do some
excellent holidays, but at 46 i cant go on them. is that discriminatory
excellent holidays, but at 46 i cant go on them. is that discriminatory
with members like Vlad, Bill Sohne, AndrewD, me and you i'm not surprised
everyone wants to join (ha ha what a cocky sod i am)

could we call it purists64 ? or dragonpurists which means that anyone
from '52 and '76 could join as well.
from '52 and '76 could join as well.
if we drop the age requirement then it wont be a club for those lucky
enough to be born in 1964 (a very good year as some of us know). it will just be
a 'club' and we have one already called puristspro, the best club of all.

the best idea would be to keep it as a secret society like Art's 'under the

The year of my birth
Clearly a great vintage. Two very nice watches. Best regards, George
Yep
Great year as far as I am concerned. Rather than an association I suggest that we create an "amicale', in this manner we can be more picky about the choice of members. Best regards, George...

but George, if your a purist born in 1964 then you will be a member, you cant exclude someone who fits the 2 conditions best from the excluded member Graham...
Agreed
Far from me to want to exclude a Purist. What a horrible thought. However, you could conceive that people that were not born in 1964 and that are not Purists, but who admire people that combined these two caracter traits would want to join. In an associat...
How about 10 years before or after?
That way I can play But then again, Groucho Marx said it best: "PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER". This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2010-12-12 15:22:30
Exactly what I meant
Everybody wants to belong, guess it was unavoidable given the description of the association. We won't be able to call it PuristSPro though as the name is already taken. Maybe the age requirement is discriminatory and should be dropped. Best regards, Geor...

I thought 10 year increments from '64 would be cool
Still a small group, but then many of us don't have to reveal our age. ;-)...

how about 40, 52, 64, 76, 88 all the years of the dragon. i know at least 1 member from '52, lots from '64, bound to be 1 or 2 from '76 and my son is from '88. with his speedy he could be a purist if he had the time. just another idea...
Okay, now we're descending into Lotto number territory
I do have a watch engraved from 1952, though.
Don't forget me...
Maybe the Moderator team would allow us to have "badges" under our avatar and post count to indicate "our vintage". Regards, Richard....
George, you are another dragon...
George, you are another dragon from 64? that makes quite a few of us including Vlad the tempter of others. best Graham
Lovely photos
Hi, I'd just love to know how you photographed the first watch - did you use a diffuser (white box) with an external light source? I'd just love to get mine like that but using daylight gives too many reflections.
