Congratulations still, Mark !.. And ..
Thanks for what is a "typical PuristSPro dialogue..
It always starts with the first step, a thought
- even nicer it is resonated by a Forum friend !
Can relate to that, quite a bit, indeed !
Is a pleasure to read & see,
Best, hs

It's PuristS Anniversary ...
Twelve years today since the first post on ThePuristS forum. So let's have a celebratory WristScan thread. It could be anniversary watches, pieces that have a connection to PuristS for you, a friendship watch or a piece that espouses the PuristS philosoph...
not quite the original purists...
not quite the original purists watch as Haldiman did that, but the nearly original purists watch. what an accolade, to be the 'nearly' watch :) On 31 May 2013 01:04, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* flamenco (registered) on...
just re read your post....
just re read your post. yep an old pic and as it was watermarked i left it as it was :) On 31 May 2013 01:04, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* flamenco (registered) on May 30th, 2013 - 17:04 > > *Title: Blast from the past!...
To me,, these are these watches...
AP RO jumbo,, for its strong link between AP and The PuristS. This Polaris 65, because it is all about Community and firendship: This Reverso, because it celebrates an Anniversay, the Septantieme, to be precise: This GP, because it is typically a Puris...
Thx kindly.. Not easy this task, but a true honor.. AND..
.. The idea behind it, I trust, will stimulate much and many here ! Best, hs PS: Thx again for kind words !
Wait and see, Henry Higgins .. Nice morning teaser, my friend !
.. Difficult enough for Humble me, But: - the honor is "heavy weight" , in a way, for a topic such as this; on the other hand the combination of treasures and spirits ( pun intended) makes it an enjoyable exercise ! And I realize there is intent for Doubl...
Always.. We know ! ..... ;) ;))))
The truth remains in the eye of the beholder(s).. Best for the WE, furtheron ! Best, hs
Yes, and Life is the winner, at the end. One great lesson...
Learned in not that easy moments. Best, Nicolas
How convincingly true.. Life prevailing.. Thx truly for reminding !
- Those virtues of the forum, friends and moments are strong medicine, especially when it counts.. Consider myself fortunate to have appreciated those friendly sides, also under wisdom guidance. Many will feel this way, I trust.. :) Thank you kindly, Nico...
Just let me say.. Sure pleasure it will be.. :))
.. let me know if & when, asap please ! Will be sooo nice, for sure . Thanks, dear friend All the best, now for Saturday, hs
Dream line up, Nicolas!
And I understand fully why you choose these wathes to represent ...! :) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
A simple and pure watch ...
This is what the PuristS is all about: 1) Humble and attainable: 2) Aesthetically pleasant but not flashy. My compliments to all that made the PuristS to born and keep going. A fantastical weekend to all, Nilo ...
Embodiment of Horological History
Albeit a modern iteration. A representation of a personal PuristS Journey, thoroughly enjoyed! Enjoyed only because the journey was made in the presence of fellow passionistas! Thanks for the friendship and education! ...
Hail to those sentiments connected ! .. Each journey..
.. no matter how long, starts with the first step ! ( Konfutsius) Best, hs
Indeed!
A journey, the connection, personal sentiments .... That very first step in this great community ! Never looked back since ...... All is well and good ! HAGWE HS !
Maybe it is due to the tilme when I entered this forum
To me this is THE Purists watch. I do not have one myself but facilitated that my brother got one. Enjoy it Bim - I love to see yours in pictures from your adventures. All the best Nikolaj
Sweden photo?
That is a true community watch! :) Strange that I still haven't got mine... HAGWE, my friend Blomman PS. Will you visit this summer? :)
Dalarna ....
With the strap you gave me my friend ... You should get one too :-) About this summer ... if i come it will be a last minute decision my friend :-) .. we have to repaint half the house (inside) .. and the other half outside ... . We will see .... Bim
Hope you paint fast, my friend! :)
As for the LLD... Yes, I should but working hard on my vintage list. No room for modern right now... :( Best Blomman
We'll give it our best !
But i want it to be done 100 % correct this time ! It will be one hell of a job ! Maybe you have to find a vintage LLD. :-)
Congratulations to the good ship PuristS...
...and all who have sailed in her - honestly: you don't look a year older than eleven! Andrew, it's a really big 'ask' to suggest that we show watches which reflect the PuristS influence or ideal: for many of us, that could be most of the collection! Sinc...
No where
to run nor hide on this ship .... LOL Always a joy to read u, and congrats on a seminal piece !
Which makes me think about launching a Deep Sea Alarm Roll Call soon!
A great community watch. Best, Mon Cher Confrère. Nicolas
Yess, please .. +1 on this idea .. Few things ..
..with the exception of the Polaris, probably , at least for my relatively few years here ; The DSA(s) have a special meaning for me, that's for sure! :)) Thank you and best, D'Artagnan hs
Vlad has many on his conscience! ;)
The TT DSA I think he is all to blame for the whole batch! ;) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
True .. Guilt is one thing.. But also providing the remedy ..
.. requires special skills, doesn't it ? Good to have a good doctor ! Best, from home to home to friend and brother- in-arm , hs
Hey, I agree on the first half...!
But the second statement... Not so sure, my freind! From what I have seen - we are forced to get or medicine ourself... ;) Best Blomman
Weell, my friend .. Let me say..
.. Probably it is also right for first half of the 2nd thought: -- "requiring special skills" .. doesn't it ?? ;) [Could be self- healing, I concede, though, for the remaining idea ] .. But you are right, the more comes out of oneself, the more is added t...
I knew you would have difficulty ....
... choosing when your collection so articulately expresses the PuristS philosophy. Andrew
If by that you mean...
...a philosophy of seemingly random horological tail-chasing, then thank you! :-) It would be remiss on this auspicious occasion not to thank PPro for the introduction to a like-minded kindred spirit in the form of a Melburnian moderator. Good times had: ...
40% of the total production
We all ordered when the Northern Hemisphere was asleep. :-p It's been more than 5 years since our first GTG. We are overdue for our annual food, wine and horology overdose! Looking forward to more happy times as well. Warm regards, Andrew Ps. I found this...

Touches of red
Thanks Ken! It's fun to change out the strap and give it color. Regards, ED-209
Yes, at Kailua Beach
Thanks Nicolas, I took this pic at Kailua Beach during vacations in Hawaii. Have a great weekend, ED-209
Impossible to beat that shot of the ABR...
Good to see another on a red strap - Cheers, pplater. ...
Another great shot in red
Thanks pplater, great to see another ABR with the red strap. Regards, ED-209
It's not half the collection, but it's enough
The Gerber P10, as described by Andrew. The PuristS ABR The IWC GST Perpetual because it's the watch I dropped into a glass of water encouraged by Purists and it may now be said, some alcoholic beverages. On the wrist or on the winder, it has run non-stop...
Thank you for an interesting theme, Andrew...
My "anniversary" related watch pics I found on my HDD are.... The judges would definitely have tough time on this important theme :-) HAGWE! Ken ...
You can say that,indeed.. But we'll do our very best..
Quietly registering in the background, following this important theme unfold.. Thank you for the honor and a big thanks to AndrewD for starting it off, so challenginly ( is that the word?) but making us open the boxes and imagination. Hence- marchons , fe...
Where better...
...on this occasion to place a photo of a Japanese watch only made possible by the very great kindness of a fellow Purist? - Cheers, pplater. ...
That works !
VC is something I would very much love to see in person ! Another WOW! series of photos ! Thanks Ken !
It was five years ago in May....

Both beautiful ...
... but I do like the Ref. 2451. That must have been a great year! Lovely to see, Ginger. Two years passed since we shared the anniversary dinner at IGOTT2. Time flies! Warm regards, Andrew
Happy Birthday PuristS !
I've been lucky to cross many Purists on my collecting way and the least I could say is that I've met passionate, knowledgeable and friendly watch enthusiasts. To commemorate this special day, some Purists watches on my wrist and my static photo of t...
" The Red " is perfect on your wrist, my friend.
Looking forward to many other moments like those you showed. All the best. Nicolas
Along with many others Nico
although I never feel convincing enough when I'm dying while wearing some of your beauties....;-)
Happy memories! :)
That table shot must be one of the craziest moments in my watch collecting life! :) Great series of WS! Best Blomman
I love them all, but particularly ...
.... that Milgauss wristshot. Fantastic! Andrew
Unforgettable !
The least I could say is the party was hot and friendly, looking forward the next one my friends ! ...
