Happy New year to all you PuristsPro's
Just a picture of my christmas present from Mrs. Santa Claus, bless her heart for understanding my addiction to watches.
Boucheron MEC XL in rose gold with El Primero mouvement, limited to 100 pieces.
Sorry still not great pictures and don't pay attention to the dates the time function on the camera is not set properly.
Best regards,
George

First 2010 Friday WristScan! Happy new Year to all my Purist´s Friends!
Well here, in Spain, in 3 hours will be 2010 and Friday... but, because I think that I´ll not be in good condition (the champagne made bad effects ) I think that it´s better make the wristcan now Happy new year to all, the best for you and yours and hope ...
A great 2010 to all
Here is São Paulo, Brazil, we are less than six hours from 2010. I wish a great 2010 to all and I will be at the party using this 41 years old white Sub: Cheers, Nilo...
This is THE watch ...
Thanks Nilo, This is THE watch the got me interested in vintage Rolex. Great photo and lovely aged tritium. Andrew
Nice choice, Nilo!
An impressive watch to end the 2009 and say "Hello" to 2010. Superb! Best. Emilio
beautiful Nilo, a 1964 model would be a dream come true for me
but sadly they cost more arms and legs than a spider owns. best Graham
Happy 2010 guys!
We also have to wait another three hours here, but I join Emilio here at the forum. GEO...
Impressive one, Geo!
A really nice choice for a "Star" Year. Best wishes from Spain! Emilio
Happy New Year, Geo ...
I wonder if we will see a new Star Wheel from AP in 2010?! Great watch as always. Andrew
interesting question Andrew.
the original was from the 90's, the millenary obviously from the 2000's so could there be another for the teenies. to be honest i'm not sure how they could improve on the 2 models already made without getting hi tech like Urwerk. best Graham
Octavio Garcia ...
I recall Octavio Garcia in an interview 3 or 4 years ago hinting that AP were working on an updated star wheel concept. As it hasn't seen the light of day yet I was just wondering aloud if 2010 might be the year. Lets check back in a few weeks and see if ...
Let's hope they revisit it ...
Thanks for the updated information, Thomas. The starwheel is a design I like, particularly in the Millenary case. Let's hope AP decide to revisit the design in the future. Andrew
Well, George, you've finally done it . . .
. . . very nice pic, and Masthead for the week . . . cordially, Art
Best wishes to all my purists fellows!
hoping that 2010 will bring you all lots of good things... especially watches Karim...

... cohiba magicos maduro 5. I stopped smoking for 2 month. This one was the 2nd one ... Amazing! Happy new year Quan KArim
Wow, Karim. I can see that you love good things in life!
Impressive watch to be admired with a great cigar... Oh, my friend, life is hard Best wishes for 2010. Emilio
Well, i thought it would be out of the subject...
.... but as we are talking about the good things in life. I tried to keep it simple, but within the limits of the TOP :P I gotta admit that the cohiba magicos is a real candy for those that love cigars. The rest was there jst to enhance the pleasure of th...
HeHe, Karim. Superb watch to end the year and to start another one!
All the Best, my friend! Nicolas
i am not gonna lie ..

That's an excellent wish for 2010, Karim.
But I'm certainly biased, as the MMR titanium is the watch I wear the most! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Still '09 here in California, but Happy New Year!

More shots of the Austin Healey ...
Unfortunately not my car, but a nice example of the 100/6 from 1957. 2.6 litre overhead cam 6-cylinder engine with twin SU sidedraft carbies. Good for 102HP. No more room in my garage, but perhaps when the kids are grown ... A...
a model from when the british car industry was at its best
i must admit i'm not familiar with the 100/6 2.6l. i thought they were all 3000cc, but it was a bit before my time. lovely condition for its year, or looks it from the pics. best Graham
The 100/6 ...
Hi Graham, The 100/6 was made between 1956 and 1959 and preceded the 3000 (1959 - 1967). The 100 was so named because it could reach 100mph, one of only a handful of cars that could achieve 'the ton' in those days. The 3000 had a 3 litre engine. Great Bri...
Great looking Healey!
I have always loved the two-tone painting on these, and the whole package is just soo "British sports car". Not too hooked on the "pink boob job" on this particular car though All the best Nikolaj
For the last and the first day of a year, I need special equipment.
They both survived the wet and damp Vietnam climate, so they will surely satisfy my needs tonight. ;-) One is indispensably to find the way back home, the other to not miss the countdown I wish you all, a successfully, happy and healthy new year!! P.S. Em...
Damn, Claude, you found it!
That is exactly the compass I'm looking for! It makes a nice duo with your Benrus Type I. Huge congrats on the watch as well as for the Compass. Have an excellent year, my friend. Nicolas
Nicolas, I am still chasing 'your' compass!
I am sorry, but this is not the one matching with your Tornek!!!!!! ;-) This one is made of brass painted olive drab and is from the Waltham Clock Company. (W.C.Co) Yours has an aluminium case, same size like the Waltham but with larger borders and it is ...
Thanks a lot, Claude
I also have the Benrus Type I, so iit may be interesting to also get one like this... With how many Compasses will I end? Thznks a lot, my friend! Aaah, that's true, you have a Bunde for me! Coool. We'll have to speak, so! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Best wishes for the new year, Claude!.
I love your combo!. Well done. I must admit that these Benrus are singing me a lot after I admired a nice specimen in Paris. Next hunt for me And thanks a lot for your words. I´m really happy with this new add, this Milspec is awesome and it´s condition i...
Emilio, the Milspec is such an powerful watch, can't be missed in any collection...
The Benrus is very, very hard to get, especiallly in all original condition!!! I have seen so many in the past with replaced crowns, replaced hands or replaced lugs, that it is really a pity!! Take good care if you go for one! The special domed glass must...
Really thanks, Claude!
Every minute that pass, I´m more sure that my next hunt will be a Benrus (Sterile or, if it´s no possible, a Type I). I thank you your help! Best Emilio
if i'd known you 2 years ago Emilio, you could have had one.
it is yet another piece that i let go and now they have become hugely desirable. story of my life best Graham
Life is so hard, my dear Grahamm, and so beautiful at the same time!
You never know what will happen... It´d be nice if your Benrus would be mine.. but no problem, Hermano, the hunt must go on! Best, my dear friend! Emilio
