Its not about how big your collection is
I personally do not like some of the responds made by Jeff, but i suppose he was pushed too hard by some.self acclaim "EXPERT". My point is We as older members here sd guide Newbies and be a good example. Not attacking just because he is collecting differently from majority of us. Or just because he is a bit showy.
I always think puristpro has a certain "CLASS" that is very special and different from other forum. I hope WE dont lose that uniqueness.
This forum is about PEOPLE. Without PEOPLE, this forum is NOTHING. And dont anyone forget It.

(patek) wrist shots

Nice pics!...
... and good move that you've opened the sealed ones ;) So what are your impressions on those patek, which one is your favorite, the one that is growing on you, etc... Btw, very various taste, that daytona is so bold! Somehow even if i don't see myself we...
Very Nice....
Who needs a dual timepiece when you have a collection like that! That's what I'm talking about! Wear two at a time and set them for different time zones. I can't wait to see your post on Automotive!
Sincerest apologies Jeff
It must be hard to decide what to wear. Having picked all these pieces up in the last 6 months it will be interesting to see what you pick up in the next year. I am sorry I doubted the veracity of your collection. If not the most impressive it is certainl...
Glad =)
Hi guys. I'm gad you guys are enjoying the pieces and the shots.....it was taken by a professional photographer at my office....my vertu phone is actually a prop to make it look like selfie shots! LOL Everything said and done, I know everybody here is gen...
I like your spirit!
"I hope we can all enjoy our time together and continue to share more beautiful pieces and photos" Thanks! Oliver
Congrats!
Wonderful collection! And if you prefer to keep them in plastics, by all means…it’s unfortunate there are individuals who prefer to be cynical doubting your ownership of these wonderful pieces rather than using this platform to appreciate each others’ acq...
Especially I like the way the pictures are taken ...
but I see some very nice pieces as well :-) Thanks a lot for sharing! Oliver
Well done, u handle it like a Pro.
I was still hoping u would do the middle finger thing LOL..... That would teach them a lesson. To those who where so nasty , now you look like fools. Your silence will only show your lack of character. If you are a man, now is the time to prove it If you ...
Well said!
Well said Iceman! Many of us have been more of a lurker of than a contributor to the forum, and it's unfortunate to see those unnecessary and nasty comments. You shouldn’t have told them the obvious, let more fools be made of themselves so they can contin...

Well said, and speaking for myself
I deserve Jeff's middle finger, and again humbly send apologies. This place would not be fun if we always agreed with each other and were always patting each other on the back. If I choose to post a strong comment or voice an opinion that is argumentative...
Thk u steward for your humility. it takes a real man to be humble.
And I concur we do not always have to agree on everything. But what we all should agree is we sd be always polite/civil when conveying a respond. Best Iceman
Great collection of timepieces
An awesome Patek collection that goes hand in hand with Kari's. :-) Aloha, Bob
Beautiful shots of some beautiful watches....
.....i watch with great interest to see how your collection develops....where to go, where to focus. Thanks for these beautiful shots and for having the patience to do it.
Hmm, a Bulgari guy...
Nice watches. But I'm really more astounded by the Bulgari cuff and snake ring. After all I see a lot more watches than snake rings. Thank you for the photos! Are the photos really taken from your Vertu phone? Or is there another camera taking the photos?...
Wish it was a selfie
It was the photographer's suggestion in making it look like a selfie....vertu's camera not so fantastic though. LOL Cheers!
fantastic collection Jeff !
Enjoy them in good health.. I see you really like rose/yellow gold.. Cheers !
A lot of juice here
Especially love the PPs. Great collection. Where are the vintage pieces? We need some historical grounding here Jeff :)
Need time
Thanks.! I'm still very new to watch collecting and guess will need some time to learn more before I decide to look at vintage pieces. That's part of the reason why I'm in this forum! Cheers!
why go vintage
if you can get beautifull new and unused true collectable watches (and you already have + you have got the means to do it) and create your own vintage collection as time passes! And be carefull for all the 'wise' opinions of others (especially those jealo...
Vintage provides a different form of pleasure
Finding some vintage pieces can prove hard and that process of firstly researching a watch that you love from Patek's history and then going about finding it provides a different type of enjoyment. Arie, you ask why go vintage? My question would be why re...
agreed about the not restricting
yourself to modern. Am not saying you shouldn't buy vintage. Just saying that Vintage isn't heaven. Often the watches look terrible in my opinion. Messed up dials and hands which lovingly will be called patina. Patina often means rough state if you ask me...
Patina is often in the eye of the beholder
But I do like the three vintage pieces you mention. Plenty more I like too!
Oh... Arie..
I now see that you are not trolling, Arie, and that the value of vintage is actually lost on you. So be it. But, as far as I can tell, no one asked you your thoughts on patina, and frankly, given the merit of your comments, I suspect no one will. I agree ...

I have no problem with different opinions....its what life is. What I think is important is that one's own view of an aspect isn't seen as "fact". One person's beauty is another person's horror show. There is no right or wrong in personal taste. Just diff...
I 100% agree
with you on this Baron. And I really enjoy reading peoples varied opinions and reviews on this forum. The expertise is quite high and people are polite. Difference in taste and opinion however should be coveted otherwise this would be a very boring place....
Appreciation for old things
Here's to hoping you someday discover an appreciation for old things, and the endless rewards of being born again into the past through discovery and learning of what has come before. If you are being sarcastic, I hate to think I'm feeding the troll...
Way to go Jeff! :)
I love your wrist shots! Your collection is fantastic and I am glad you are enjoying these lovely timepieces on your wrists. Double wrists! :) Thank you for sharing these with us here. Many are grail pieces and I am very happy to see your photos here. Mos...
